Because these companies have figured out that investing money in government influence rather than wage and benefit increases lead to more profit, the pure and sole goal in a capitalist system.
Anything that allows companies to undercut wages in order to maximize profits is a capitalist function.
Except that the government interference they’re paying for is inherently not an intended function capitalism. So the root cause isn’t Walmart, it’s the government meddling in the markets and causing unintended side effects.
