End Corporate Welfare
Stop Corporate Welfare.$80billion goes to Corporations in America. This would pay for 2 million new teachers. Walmart receives billions of tax dollars, and won't pay workers enough to live on. Walmart workers have to rely on Foodstamps and Medicaid, while their CEO earns more than 8k and hour.This is more than workers earn annually. These corporations are sitting on Trillions in banks and are not creating new jobs.
Why is this important?
American subsidize corporations to the tune of $80billion annually. This would pay for 2 million new teachers. Walmart receives billions and doesn't pay their employees enough to live on. Just last week Walmart stopped offering insurance to new workers, blaming Obamacare. Their CEO earns more than 8k and hour, while Walmart workers don't make that much in one year.
