Essentially tax payers transfer assets to the government and the government transfers part of that capital to Wallmart.

Thanks Rudey - that's exactly what they mentioned in this news story I saw, that Walmart pays such crap wages that they have to use government benefits, so Walmart is in effect having the public support many of their employees.
