Let's talk about @Walmart

It started out as a local business that promoted goods made in the USA. Their advertising promoted it and everyone felt good about buying from such a patriotic company that supported American made goods

1/6

Slowly, Walmart stopped buying American made goods. Their prices were phenomenal & small businesses began to close wherever a Walmart showed up. Small towns were decimated b/c they couldn't compete w/Walmart prices

Walmart paid low part-time wages w/few benefits & made trillions

Walmart is one of the riches companies in the world & benefited enormously from Trump's tax cuts for Billionaires. Like Amazon, they've destroyed small business across America while paying their employees peanuts

This Christmas, our Walmart had a food drive for their employees

The American people need healthcare & a liveable wage. Billionaire cos need to be taxed & held accountable

Corporations are not people

You should not be paying more taxes than Walmart and Amazon

Politicians should not be working to take away our Social Security and Medicare

Walmart and Amazon have both pushed "Right to Work" legislation and keep their employees from forming unions

Recently, Amazon told their employees they could donate their own sick time to employees with Coronavirus.

This is not okay

None of this is okay

People ask where we'll get the money to pay for universal healthcare

If we have money to give the richest companies in America tax breaks - we have the money to take care of Americans

The US has become like Russia w/an oligarchy or Haiti w/a Bourgoisie

This isn't okay
