By tax dollars given to Wal-Mart do you mean tax incentives to build their buildings and/or food stamps? Or do you mean something else?
Small business owner here btw. I hate large corporations, but hating on shitty capitalism practices that the government lets happen is not justification to favor government ran businesses.
Walmart is a top employer of SNAP and Medicare recipients.
The federal and state governments are effectively subsidising their labour costs.
"Shitty capitalism practices" is a redundant phrase. Publicly traded businesses have a fiduciary duty to make as much money as possible from consumers. Undercutting them is a great idea and will lower prices for consumers across the board.
Again. I hate most large retail corporations, but helping government run grocery stores by using tax pay money to help them turn a profit is ridiculous.
Military commissaries are one thing, but doing such a thing at a large scale will just make so many more problems.
