You mean like using shadow real estate companies to buy land Wal-mart  
is forbidden to develop, and then renting it to them and other  
tricks, which also frequently results in Wal-Mart not paying normal  
taxes to the local area?

Wal-Mart is often a lot more gross than that of course.  They aren't  
above sending people to do in-person intimidation of land owners,  
small businesses, and government officials.
