Wal Mart the Welfare Queen
As it turns out, Wal Mart is the biggest welfare recipient in the state of Florida.
In Florida, Wal-Mart has 91,000 employees. Every time an uninsured Wal-Mart worker goes to the ER and can't afford to pay for treatments, all Floridians are picking up the bill. Meanwhile, our Medicaid system is in crisis. ...
Five employers in Florida account for 29,000 Medicaid-eligible individuals (employees or dependents). Wal-Mart's share represents 42 percent of that group.
So there's Wal Mart, sittin' on her front porch eating her WIC approved moon pie and Sam's Choice Diet Cola with her two snot nosed chil'ins, ASDA Group Limited and THE SEIYU, LTD. running around all willy nilly with their saggy Sam's Choice diapers.
Cashin' those welfare checks and buying her a new stereo and one of the those new fangled HDTVs with the flat panel and all those cheap foreign plastic trinkets. Her baby's daddy, Sam's Club ain't around much, but he's sending his child support every month like a good daddy. She be givin' the crack whore next door bus tokens so she'll leave her and her chil'ins alone. And takin' the chil'ins to the emergency room for pink eye and lice while the Florida tax payers git the shaft.
Now Wal Mart knows darned good and well that if she paid her employees a living wage, then the Florida tax payers wouldn't be in such a pickle, picking up the slack for her and her chil'ins, but she just don't care. She's gittin' all rich and livin' high on the hog, and givin' some o' those riches to the church of Tom DeLay and Bill Frist and Jeb! in hopes that she can keep livin' the high life on Easy Street.
Yep, Ol' Lady Wal Mart gittin' fat and happy.

Right you are, Cookie! The biggest drains on the public purse are, of course, the big corporations with their fat tax cuts and subsidies. And don't forget how they can take your home under 'eminent domain' - ostensibly to maximize tax revenue - and then slash the taxes to sweeten the pot. The little guy just can't win.
