"Wal-Mart Stores added to Wall Street's dreary view, with the discount retailer slicing its fourth-quarter outlook and blaming a slew of negative factors, including the federal government's cut in food stamps and the cold weather."

Dear Waltons,

We are in this together. We share our fates. When the fate of some is to be hungry, and the fate of others to be richer than Midas, we all go hungry.

Please pay higher taxes so others can buy your food.

Thanks.
