Reflect upon the Walmart tax, the hidden levy American taxpayers pay to subsidize the always low wages America’s largest retailer pays out. These wages are so low that many Walmart workers have to depend on food stamps, Medicaid, and subsidized housing to get by.

U.S. taxpayers are paying $169.8 million annually for the public assistance Walmart workers receive. Among the grateful for this subsidy: Walmart CEO Doug McMillon. He took home $19.8 million in 2015.

You cannot claim to be a modern, civilized nation and tolerate this. Epicureanism 101.
