To: President Donald Trump
Slam the revolving door shut!
Aren't you sick and tired of the revolving door between corporate America and government? If you are, then you must insist that President Obama reject Walmart's Sylvia Matthews Burwell as his budget director nominee because Burwell has worked for Walmart, a corporation that puts profits over people.
Why is this important?
Even though Walmart's Sylvia Mathews Burwell is a Washington veteran, President Obama should NOT nominate her as his next budget director. Burwell left government to run the Walmart Foundation, the retail giant's philanthropic wing that strives to soften the fact that Walmart receives more than $1.2 billion in tax breaks, outsources American jobs, and denies its American employees full-time jobs, benefits, and over-time pay. To subsidize the paltry pay the average part-time Walmart worker earns, Walmart teaches its employees to apply for government assistance in the form of Medicaid and food stamps which 80% of Walmart's part-time employees must do to survive. Burwell's association with corporate America makes her unfit for the position of budget director.
