Daily Signal: Sen. Bernie Sanders is back again, with yet another attempt to indirectly mandate the $15 an hour minimum wage.
It’s called the Stop WALMART Act, or Stop Welfare for Any Large Monopoly Amassing Revenue from Taxpayers Act. It would affect large (500-plus employees) companies, and among other things would prohibit them from buying back stock unless they pay employees at least $15 an hour.
(For a discussion of why big companies sometimes buy back their own stock, click here).
Taking to Twitter, Sanders, I-Vt., attacked the Walton family specifically.
Walmart is an obvious target for the democratic socialist: The company’s total revenue in 2018 was a cool $500 billion, and it employs more than 1.5 million people in the U.S. alone.
Socialists like Sanders are eager to portray big corporations as the epitome of capitalism’s evil, but in reality, companies like Walmart do a lot of good for regular Americans.
Walmart reported in 2016 that a staggering 140 million Americans visited Walmart—in store or online—every week. Clearly, the American consumer values Walmart greatly as a resource for maintaining and improving their standard of living. READ MORE
Crazy Bernie should get a real job appropriate for his skill level…as a WalMart greeter.
A walmart greeter requires neat dress and a bright and sunny disposition. Bernie isn’t qualified to be a greeter. He has not combed his hair since 1955 and dresses like a homeless person.
He’s PERFECTLY qualified to work in their electronics dept., though. THEY know nothing, and I’ll bet he knows NOTHING, too! 😆
Walmart had earned its place. Why pay $2.57 for a can of soup at Kroger when Walmart sells the same can for $1.49?
That right there is $1.08 added to your income.
Old Socialist Three Houses just wants to instigate a little more communism! How can that hurt?
Asshat should stop by WM himself; buy a freaking comb.
Then use it.
I’ve never seen a public figure that was so indifferent to appearance & hygiene.
Kinda disgusting.
Just the latest evidence Bernie really *is* a socialist…a NATIONAL SOCIALIST.
Just because you’re running the dozens on a mental patient, doesn’t mean you’re not a tard.
If Walmart’s headquarters were in New York or California, they wouldn’t get near as much grief from democrats. It galls them that an old man from Arkansas built that.
Crooked bernie thinks he’s Einstein.
He”s just a crook.
