[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in DC will continue to shop elsewhere, further reducing DC's tax base and ability to provide basic municipal services. It's a vicious cycle. WalMart isn't some great benevolent entity, but they are someone [b]willing to invest lots of $,[/b] employ lots of people (albeit not at first year associate wages), and provide needed taxes and development in poorer communities. [/quote] What? the problem is that Wal-mart ends up costing municipalities due to the fact that their employees end up relying on social services because of their low wages and terrible benefits. [/quote] Well you could look at the walmart wage as a credit to the amount being paid now to people on welfare etc.[/quote]
