We can subsidize the Walmart family for years yet we can't education our youth?


That's a hell of a system we have.

We have been paying a portion of Walmart's labor costs for years which boosted their bottom line and put more money in their pockets.

Note: Upon hiring new employees, Walmart would tell them what govt benefits they could apply for.

Workers weren't given the dignity of a living wage (many who are WOMEN) but that didn't seem to bother Mrs. Walmart.

Clinton campaign hosting fundraisers in Mexico
The Hill - Feb. 9, 2016

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign is holding fundraisers in Mexico on Wednesday, expanding its offshore money operation one day after the New Hampshire primary.

Two events hosted by the Clinton campaign treasurer Jose Villarreal will be held in Mexico City. Clinton herself will not be attending.

One of the co-hosts of the fundraising dinner is Wal-Mart lobbyist Ivan Zapien, who relocated to Mexico with the company in 2015. Clinton served on the board of Wal-Mart from 1986-1992.
