Bernie Sanders Takes On Walmart
http://www.politicallore.com/bernie-sanders-takes-on-walmart/1618
Showing once again his support for the common man, Senator Bernie Sanders, I-VT, has taken on the Walmart corporation for its exploitation of its workers and this time Sanders hit the $130 billion plus Walmart family square in the face with an honest pie.
Sanders took to Twitter, the social media communications network to lambaste the Walmart family. At present, Walmart pays minimum wage, cuts employee hours, doesnt offer benefits and is the epitome of the user/exploit model of administration found far too often in business, government, and religious bodies. Its gotten to the point that the American taxpayers are paying an additional $6 billion in economic support for Walmarts employees who are in need of welfare and food stamps and other subsidies just to survive.
Walmarts owners and stockholders are the culprits here because they care not about the workers and know they have the American public wrapped around their fingers. The public is too stupid, indifferent, uncaring, and uninformed to care about their fellow Americans in such desparate need. The reason being is that Walamart provides such cheap discounts that the American people have become figuratively addicted to the chain.
Whats worse is the lack of support from official sources. Walmart stock is good and is part of every investment portfolio. That unfortunately includes all police, military, all three branches of government employees, teachers, doctors, nurses, all unions in including construction. These stockholders dont want to see their dividends drop so they wont stand up to the suppression the Walmart family is putting on the workers. Its much like what happened to Disney ten years ago. Employees and even high end execs had been complaining about the company and then leader Michael Eisner. Even with mountains of evidence regarding corruption and incompetence, the American people sat on their butts until the dividends dropped and they booted Eisner out in no time and now Disney is the biggest entertainment juggernaut on the planet.
