you are correct Walmart is evil
Plain and simple, Walmart (as it has been since Sam Walton's kids took control) is in fact evil. Did you know when Sam Walton started the business part of his mission was to sell products Made in America. Now, I call it MaoMart.
Low low wages (and low to no benefits) are what keeps their prices low. Not to mention the communist/slave labor that made the products they sell. I will go well out of my way, and spend more money (and I do not have any extra money) to NOT shop there.
As a small business owner myself, I am fully aware of all the tax breaks they get to ruin communities and I refuse to support that.
I think Walmart is a symptom of a larger problem in the US. It would take a long post to go into the problems that I think Walmart is the symptom of, but I will suffice to say, the solution is for us to simply care more about our neighbors, community, each other and less about our personal bottom lines.
