No. Not like that.
When you plant your dope on federal land, you are not costing me any incremental expense.
The article you posted makes the point that the poorly paid Walmart workers COST the tax payers a ton. That is an incremental cost to ME. And taxes are more heavily drawn on the more highly paid.
I ask you Atticus, isn't the real point of your article that we should have more tax breaks for the rich so that we can be more fairly treated as we continue to cover theses costs of the poor?

Actually, if you wich to use tax policy as an incentive, the more rational policy would be to impose an excise tax on the dividends of Wal-Mart shares to fund the excess cost the beneficiaries of those dividends are imposing in the rest of us. Much like a tobacco or liquor tax.
