Are Taxpayers Really Supporting People on Food Stamps & Welfare?

Or, are we supporting Walmart and other employers that do not pay employees a living wage?

Wal-Mart (WMT) Made $3.78 Billion In Profit in 1Q 2013.

America: A nation of the people and for the corporation.

Imagine if Walmart made a billion dollars less in profits for Q1 and that money supported their employees?

Imagine, if our representatives in Washington really cared about their constituents?

Imagine what this country would be like if the people mattered.
