Last week, Alice Walton donated $350,000 to HRC’s PAC. According to Forbes, the Walton family’s net worth is $149 BILLION. In 2014 and 2015, Forbes named it the #1 richest family in America.
And yet this family refuses to pay its employees a living wage. Theirs are among the lowest paid workers in the country, having to rely on donated canned goods at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Out on the stump, Hillary loves saying that she’s spent decades fighting for the American worker, for the middle class. But until she’s willing to denounce the shameful practices of the Walton family, her lofty claims are out-and-out crap. They mean nothing. If she wants my vote, she needs to return Alice Walton’s $350,000 and join Bernie in demanding a minimum wage of $15 — starting at Wal-Mart.
