Hate speech - flagged.

Hate speech, while I agree it sounds blunt, it has truth to it.

<ol>
<li>Welfare fraud does exist.</li>
<li>People do buy drugs with their EBT. No I am not talking prescription.</li>
</ol>

Again is it hate speech because you can't comprehend the reality that poor people do abuse the system because gov't has developed a system that makes them welfare junkies. Is that hate or is that the reality and it needs to be fixed. Don't confuse that with hating the poor, if the gov't really cared about poverty they fix it, instead of creating EBT zombies. Foodstamp is not a diet program nor is it helping. I have to agree one thing bad about Walmart is that it doesn't help with ending Welfare abuse. But that is a whole another story.
Maybe you should stop squawking like a parrot and stop trying to deny somebody their free speech as that person has the right to say what he/she likes if you disagree you are allowed to disagree.

in very much the same way that Wal-Mart is a 'welfare junkie'; how often do they commit to build a store without tax breaks? How high is the the percentage of Wal-Mart workers who are subsidized by the American tax payer through food stamps?

Yup they get a tax break to build their stores so that the local merchant can go bankrupt. The tax breaks and the profits end up in Walmart heirs pockets. So they are oligarchy on welfare charity cases in tune of billions.

Bullshit. Everybody does not do all this

""The crisis in multinational corporate tax avoidance is growing exponentially. According to an analysis by Audit Analytics, the indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings of the firms in the Russell 1000 Index surged from $1.1 trillion in 2008 to more than $2.1 trillion in 2013. That latter figure is greater than the GDP of Russia.

The analysis reveals that the biggest names in corporate America are boycotting the U.S. tax system, en masse. Top offenders include giants from high-tech (Microsoft, $76 billion); Big Pharma (Pfizer, $69 billion); Big Oil (Exxon­Mobil, $47 billion); investment banks (Goldman Sachs, $22 billion); Big Tobacco (Philip Morris, $20 billion); discount retailers (Wal-Mart, $19 billion); fast-food chains (McDonald's, $16 billion) – even heavy machinery (Caterpillar, $17 billion). General Electric has $110 billion stashed offshore, and enjoys an effective tax rate of four percent – 31 points lower than its statutory obligation to the IRS.

"The things these companies are doing, 20 years ago would almost certainly have been illegal," says Bob McIntyre, president of Citizens for Tax Justice. "But now you've got so many big, powerful corporations doing it that it's the norm." Systematic avoidance helps explain why corporate income taxes – one-third of federal revenue in the 1950s – have now dropped below 10 percent of Treasury receipts today.""

They are not investing in any community. They take the capital borrowed via interest rates below inflation that is pumped by the government and open as may stores as they possibly can. By flooding the market with massive number of stores, they take their competition out. They ask the cities to subsidize them. If the cities refuse then they take off . If their store fail to produce large amount profit, they take off too while having destroyed the local merchants that served the area.

And Kochers will always bring up a small % of the poor who buy drugs with some of their gubmint money.
Talk about stupid rubes.

Get lost, spammer.

Rolling stone? What a great place to get information from

Yes it is. Some of the greatest stories about financial abuse and much more have come from Rolling Stone.
It is probably above your intellect though. I suggest the idiot OxyRush Limpdick. He is more your speed.

I'm not sure why you think you know so much about my intellect. I am just saying that a magazine such as rolling stones is more of a tabloid in my opinion than a intellectual read. Please don't make assumptions when you know nothing about me

Again: I can read your posting history Mullah.

So I'm dangerous because I believe in God? I have said nothing negative only about his love please tell me when that becomes dangerous.

Your extremism is dangerous.
Your creationism nonsense (antiscience) is dangerous.
Your anti women Christian Sharia is dangerous.
Stop denying the obvious. You think because you talk sweet that you are hiding who you are?

Where am I extreme? Where am I anti-woman. Where had science PROVEN creationism is incorrect and how does that make me someone who is against science.

Thanks for proving my point.

Okay, not sure how I proved your point when you have just run your mouth but backed it up with nothing. If you want to lob insults at people, then please back up your accusations. If not, go stand in a corner little boy.

The nothing was your denials of being a Christian extremist who is antiscience.
Now why dont you go over to Syria to hang with your Islamic extremist cousins?

I am not against science and that is just a ridiculous claim. If you are trying to get a rise out of me with your progressive talking points, it is not going to work, go pick on some one else. I will pray for you even though I'm sure you wouldn't want that. BTW I have never used my personal faith and relationship with God against anyone off harmed anyone.

You are the mullah who brought up creationism bubba. That is antiscience. So save your bs for someone else.

Like I said please go spew you progressive talking points elsewhere you are utterly ridiculous. Where do you get off making a claim like anti-science over solely creationism there are many scientists that believe this and there is also your precious messiah Obama is even a Christian, how mad does that make you feel.

Walmart does not to sell everything cheap. Their model is to sell some things that people need cheaper and then have other things people need and sell it while people are in there including food. It is just same old strategy as old department stores but they have a fancy inventory control so that they can keep it stocked because what they sell typically has a high turn over.

And let's not forget the most important aspect of their "business model"- getting the American taxpayer to cover a portion of your labor costs. Wal-Mart is a welfare queen of the highest order.

Disqusdoesallowhtml enhancement if you know how to use them. Disqus also enables delete so that when you do something really stupid you can go back and get rid of it so no one will see. For that matter, you can delete an entire post (hint).

• Of course it supports bullet points.

• You just have to know what to do.

¿ Are you crazy?

Rudy where do you find the directions? I think that would help many.

Actually, the few times i have deleted a comment, it re-appears under the moniker "Guest".....

Danny, we are no longer living in the 1970`s. Please, try to keep up and stop relying on Facebook posts from angry old people for your information about welfare.

Angry old white men, closing in on dementia, who think faking a hispanic screen name makes them "clever."

"Danny Lopez" claims to be a student at FSU. Isn't it funny how bitter, old, white men who never finished high school think they can impersonate college students, stay-at-home moms, lesbians and engineers? They seem to be the only people unaware of generational slang and syntax, but must feel a great deal of insecurity since they can't be themselves.

No Lefty's just call it as they see it. A pig is still a pig even if you put lipstick on it wise up dude. And BTW the whole Hispanic screen name trick is the oldest in the book time for a new strategy.

Good example bubba. Do you actually have any fact based information for us?

Why do you Breitbartians always use that "the truth hurts" line, even when you're talking shyte? Did you all learn your rhetorical skills from Facebook? Do you post things like "I bet you don't even lift" or "why don't you just kill yourself"?

Danny Lopez: "Again is it hate speech because you can't comprehend the reality that poor people do abuse the system because gov't has developed a system that makes them welfare junkies."
---
Actually Danny don't you think it is mostly Hispanic immigrants that become "junkies" of the system?

What is the matter with you?

Funny, since welfare usage is HIGHER in Red States. Wages are higher in Blue states, while Welfare use is significantly LOWER than Red States.
Shows you Teabaggers don't even know the real facts of the matter.

So if Welfare fraud exists then Walmart heirs should be subsidized to tune of billions of dollars, is that right?
.
May be Walmart should become kingdom and collect taxes for its kings because they surely act as though they are?

Yes, welfare fraud exists, less than 1% of welfare is fraud, just like VOTER FRAUD, another GOP hate ticket item, is under 1%. Oh but they will spend BILLIONS to make people get an ID for it, disenfranchising many American voters, including SEVERAL WWII vets. Good enough for them to die fighting for you, but not to vote in our elections?
It's been shown time and again that these red herrings the GOP chase are to prevent Democratic votes so their LIES can stay in power. SOME truth to the Ayn Rand Troll's words, less than 1%

People are people.....a certain percentage of "people" will always abuse the system, whether they are rich or poor.

Less than 1% of people on assistance programs have tested positive for drugs in states that instituted mandatory testing programs. Not only is that a lower rate than the general population, those states generally pay 3x more for testing people than they save denying benefits to the people who test positive.

Actually, the Wal-Mart Corp is the largest recipient of "welfare" in this country, via tax breaks, subsidies, and the fact that so many of their employees have to receive federal benefits because Wal-Mart refuses to pay them enough to live on. Every person in this country subsidizes their low prices with their tax dollars, and in return the Wal-Mart heirs get filthy rich and hoard money.

Perhaps you should try educating yourself a bit more before spewing your "opinion" all over the internet and letting other people clean up after you.

Rich people abuse the system all the time. They hide their money, cheat on their taxes, commit fraud on their customers and exploit their employees. Why don't you admire the resourcefulness of the welfare cheat the way you do the tax cheat? Why is one form of theft virtuous and the other obscene?

Great response absolutely brilliant.

Thank you!

I bow down to that comment DrL:)
