I don't pay a wal-mart tax. But wal-mart should be paying taxes in my state. Taxes that go to roads, schools, police, firemen, mailmen and other important social services that I may, in fact, use.

Why? Wal-Mart isn't paying them, but everyone else is. In fact, in a way, when I shop at Wal-Mart, I'm helping pay your share in your locality. Is that a fair or reasonable way to tax?

You claim to be about the poorest people. Isn't a corporate tax just levying more costs onto the poorest citizens?
