>One of the major beneficiaries of the nation's food-stamp program is actually a hugely profitable company: Walmart.
Your post saying wm receives 14B in food stamps is lacking a few details.
"Americans spend about 18 percent of all food stamp dollars at Walmart, according to company estimates told to the Wall Street Journal and confirmed by The Huffington Post. That's about $14 billion"
Americans spend 14b, walmart workers don't receive that much.
I agree it would be much better if we were able to make products cheaply enough in this country so that china can't dump its crap on us. However, obumble has not imposed the tariffs that would level the playing field, neither has he removed the incentives to offshore production. And of course he not only does nothing about the illegals but in fact encourages them.
Fish, what is your answer to my reply to your latest blow hard offer? If I give you the name of a lawyer will you send him $1k? Or will you come up with more strings?

Are you giving the name of a lawyer with the intention of taking the bet? If so, give me the name, I'll contact the lawyer, verify his credibility, we'll put together a simple contract to define exactly what the bet is (we know the criteria already) you sign it, I sign it we both wire the $5,000 to attorney and he makes the final call and keeps both identities secret. Simple deal. You a gamer? I pay the attorney directly for his fee. I'm not sure what the $1000 is for? I'll just pay the attorney directly.

Yes, it's Wal-Mart customers that spend that much with food stamps at their stores. In many poor areas around the country, it's a huge source of revenue for those stores. The modern day "soup kitchen" in 2015, sad but true.

There are full time wal mart employees that qualify for food stamps.
How any CEO of a Fortune 20 making company (making >30 million a year) can go to sleep knowing that thousands of their full time employees are living in poverty on government assistance is beyond me even when they're making record profits.
What's even stranger is how many people, even on these threads, defend them. That's just sheer insanity.

Do you begrudge people the right to spend their money and food stamps where they wish? When you are poor you don't care about abstract economic theories, you care about making your limited resources stretch a little farther.
Orca, you have once again muddied the waters. Lets take a look at your latest babble
>give me the name, I'll contact the lawyer, verify his credibility, we'll put together a simple contract to define exactly what the bet is (we know the criteria already) you sign it, I sign it we both wire the $5,000 to attorney and he makes the final call and keeps both identities secret. Simple deal. You a gamer? I pay the attorney directly for his fee. I'm not sure what the $1000 is for? I'll just pay the attorney directly.
What exactly have we agreed to on the criteria? I don't recall agreeing to anything. I see you put the part about paying the lawyer after we sign the agreement, which has not been discussed in any detail yet, and after we both send him 5k. So you want me to do a lot of things, risk my time and money and then wait and hope you do your end? You are putting the cart before the horse. For someone who claims to be a big time businessman, you would not last a day in the world of business.
Explain exactly what you want in this agreement, I can use the lol. How about you pick a lawyer, send him his fee, and then we do the rest? Assuming of course you don't throw in more deal killers which of course you will.

Which is exactly why we need more leaders to stand up against predatory capitalism because corporations have so much more power, advertising strength and ability to buy off the process.
So it's OK to "give the customers what they want" even if it destroys the country? 
When America was formed, a Corporation had to get a charter that had a 5-10 year time limit on it and they had to prove they would operate in the public's best interest. That's was the vision and LIMITS that were placed on corporations back then.
Since then, money hijacked the system and convinced corporate puppies like you to defend them.

Very well known history and you could find 100's of links with a simple google search of "history of american corporations" but here's the first one that came up that's written at a level you could understand.
http://reclaimdemocracy.org/corporate-accountability-history-corporations-us/
The best source for the attitude toward corporations in the early days of America, by far, however, is John Adams. He wrote eloquently and prolifically about it. Get educated.
