Well it's not just what they do - it's their intent that's important. Offering advice on how to get aid is intentionally asking for government subsidies to your business. It is exactly the kind of lawsuits they are lobbying so hard against to make sure don't occur.

All in all, it is a good business. It's slightly overvalued and the question is where are they going to find new ways to bring in money. They've already expanded pretty heavily into Mexico and China. In fact I think they are the largest retailers in both those countries.
