Walmart purchases go to sales tax, Walmart no doubt pays property taxes, they generate a ton of income tax, and who knows what else.<p>I&#x27;m sure all these figures are true, whenever I stop off at Walmart where I live to grab whatever I would say about 40% of the time there&#x27;s a squad car out front, but the article plays it out like if the drunk wasn&#x27;t causing trouble at the Walmart, he wouldn&#x27;t be causing trouble anywhere. In my experience, those who walk into public intoxicated and yell at others will do so irrespective of their location. Same goes for dumbass kids (of which there was actually a group last time we were there, go figure, watched the manager haul them out by their collars) or shoplifters, if they weren&#x27;t causing trouble at Walmart, they&#x27;d be doing it somewhere else because if you&#x27;re that kind of person, being disruptive and annoying is how you pass the time.
