Think about this next time you shop at Wal-Mart

Those low prices you're paying are brought to you courtesy of the Tennessee taxpayer. That's right -- our tax dollars are funding the corporate welfare that allows the largest corporation in the world to rake in even more profits.

CHATTANOOGA -- A study shows that thousands of Wal-Mart employees are on TennCare, the state's expanded Medicaid program, providing fodder for critics who say the retail giant and other businesses are shifting costs for low-paid employees onto the backs of taxpayers.

Perhaps we can think of a way to use our tax dollars to finance our schools, rather than turning the funds over to Wal-Mart shareholders. In the meantime you are, of course, encouraged to shop elsewhere.
