To Force Billionaires Off Welfare, Sanders Tax Would Make Corporations Fund 100% of Public Assistance Their Low-Paid Workers Receive

“While Mr. Bezos is the most egregious example, the Walton family of Walmart and many other billionaire-owned large and profitable companies also enrich themselves off taxpayer assistance while paying their workers poverty-level wages.”
—Sen. Bernie Sanders

  I agree, Rosaliene. I think we have to keep reminding people of how government is subsidizing low wage companies like Walmart and Amazon.

As much sense as this proposal makes, in today’s Congress it would never make it to a floor vote, let alone get passed. It would certainly force the corporations to spend the windfall they get from tax cuts more appropriately.

Excellent point, Rick. I think Bernie is probably doing this to raise his profile, and it seems to be accomplishing that.
