Tell Walmart to go subsidize itself

Or more bluntly put, to go fuck itself. The following is from The Other 98%:

Walmart owes you money. Big time. They raked in $17 billion in profit last year, yet they pay their employees so little that folks who work full-time must turn to food stamps just to feed their kids. And guess who’s picking up the tab? Every year Walmart racks up $7.8 billion in government subsidies, and they force you and me to foot the bill. Their explosive growth and ridiculous profit margins aren’t the result of hard work and a little luck; they’re the result of Walmart’s scorched-Earth business model - poverty wages, tax dodging, and extensive use of the social safety net for private gain.

Oh hell no! Tell Walmart to go subsidize itself.

Over the last decade, Walmart has bamboozled $240 from every single person in America. Meanwhile the Walton family is the richest on Earth (worth more than the bottom 42% of all Americans) and continues to hoard their obscene wealth while demanding more tax breaks and subsidies.

We’re sick of subsidizing Walmart’s massive profits with public money. Join us in demanding a refund.

$7.8 billion might not seem like much to the Waltons, but I'm sure the rest of us can think of a few better things to do with that money. We demand that Walmart start paying its workers a living wage that lifts them up out of poverty and treats them with the respect they deserve.

Lets tell Walmart we want our money back.

Join us.

Thanks for all you do to make this world a better place for all of us.

Sincerely
John Sellers
