He is writing about alternate-universe Walmart where employees are paid a living wage and don't have to rely on food banks, taxpayer-funded food stamps, taxpayer-subsidized health care, and living in RVs to make ends meet. Oh and yes, Walmart like retirees because they tend to be trying to stretch inadequate or nonexistent pension funds. Thus, we can close the tab knowing this dude does not know what he is talking about in the world we are living in now.

ETA: United States Social Security is not public tax money. It is money earned by individual taxpayers and matched by their employers, collected as a payroll tax and publicly administered and distributed. This is an important distinction that Social Security haters would like you not to grasp: you and your employer have already paid for Social Security if you have a regular job in the US. It is your money.
