This includes more than $1.2 billion in tax breaks, free land, infrastructure assistance, low-cost financing and outright grants from state and local governments around the country. In addition, taxpayers indirectly subsidize the company by paying the healthcare costs of Wal-Mart employees who don’t receive coverage on the job and instead turn to public programs such as Medicaid. This website brings together available information on both kinds of subsidies involved in Wal-Mart’s “double-dipping.” In the future we will add data on other ways Wal-Mart relies on taxpayers to finance its growth. </P><P>This site is in no way connected with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. or any affiliate of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.</P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><AREA href="http://www.walmartsubsidywatch.org/state_detail.html?state=SD" coords="221,78, 222,84, 223,84, 224,91, 225,93, 225,114, 222,114, 219,112, 212,112, 208,111, 206,112, 178,113, 174,114, 167,114, 166,100, 166,91, 167,81, 187,80, 197,79, 219,78" alt="" shape="poly"></AREA></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/election/" rel="tag">election</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/wal-mart/" rel="tag">wal-mart</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/business/" rel="tag">business</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/taxes/" rel="tag">taxes</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/government/" rel="tag">government</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/politics/" rel="tag">politics</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/welfare/" rel="tag">welfare</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/corporate/" rel="tag">corporate</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/republian/" rel="tag">republian</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/democrat/" rel="tag">democrat</a></div>http://www.walmartsubsidywatch.org/Fri, 08 Jun 2007 16:41:15 GMT
