WALMART LIVES OFF THE BACKS OF WELFARE FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS AND EXTREME 17 CENT/HOUR SLAVERY
WALMART = EXPLOITS the ‘Poverty Industrial Complex’ of 17 cent/hour labor
WALMART = EXPLOITS THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS WELFARE GIVEN TO THEIR UNDERPAID WORKERS IN THE FORM OF FOOD STAMPS AND HEALTH CARE SUPPLEMENTS
THERE ARE 4,835 WALMART STORES IN AMERICA AND EACH ONE COSTS MIDDLE CLASS $904,542/YEAR = $43.7 BILLION/YEAR
WALMART USES ITS MONOPOLY POSITION TO NEGOTIATE INCREDIBLY LOW PRICES FROM THEIR VENDORS!
Bangladeshi ELITISTS face tough decisions from rampant abuse of the work force = Government weakening and a disturbing rise in radical Islam = Tens of thousands in Magic Movement protests and strong resentment of the exploitation of garment workers after the country’s worst industrial disaster in its history = fire and collapse of Rana Plaza – shoddy building where sweatshop laborers toiled – collapse took the lives of a shocking 1,127 workers making 17 cents to 26 cents per hour or $38 / month
US public relations nightmare for Gap, Wal-Mart who oppose improved fire and safety regulations in factories and have refused to pay direct compensation to family members of the victims.
Bangladeshi ELITISTS + MULTI-NATIONALS = Injustice stitched into every shirts = BUT DENY THE EXPLOITATION AND SAFETY PROBLEMS!
‘Let them eat cake’ Retail giants threaten closing their operations = Keep 17 cent/ hour workers = exploited as 21st century slave labor = after cheapest possible production + no safety standards or regulatory oversight
Both the ruling and opposition political forces fail to offer platforms that would significantly contribute to the furtherance of progressive measures to protect workers’ rights and advance the nation’s economic standing.
The hawks of global retail have shed their crocodile tears and paid lip service to safety standards and pledges to enact across-the-board improvements as they did after the Tazreen fires, only to witness Bangladesh’s worst industrial disaster in the space of less than a year.
Walmart And McDonald’s = ‘Welfare Queens’ = Barry Ritholtz
Welfare = Subsidy to corporations that employ low-income workers
As a taxpayer = Much better things I would like to see my monies go towards than welfare to Walmart = Get corporate welfare queens off of the public teat.
“Profitable companies” = Are being “subsidized” by the Middle Class = “corporate welfare queens” = higher profits due to welfare programs = food stamps required for their UNDERPAID WORKERS + HEALTH CARE WELFARE FOR THIER EMERGENCIES.
Ritholz = “these corporations having their full-time employees’ paychecks effectively subsidized by (MIDDLE CLASS) taxpayers.”
Welfare queens are even bigger, richer and less deserving of MIDDLE CLASS taxpayer support = WalMart and McDonald’s = Put their employees on public assistance
American fast food workers = $7 Billion in public assistance = McDonald’s helps employees enroll in state and local assistance programs.
WalMart = Biggest consumer of MIDDLE CLASS taxpayer PAID aid = Largest group of Medicaid recipients + Single biggest group of food stamp recipients = Walmart’s “associates” paid so little they receive $1,000 on average in public assistance.
Why is Walmart being so profitable receiving taxpayer subsidies? Because they can take advantage of MIDDLE CLASS taxpayers operating within the FIXED law.
SOLUTION = Raise the minimum wage SO EMPLOYEES NO LONGER QUALIFY FOR FOOD STAMPS AND MEDICAID.
BIG SOLUTION = Guarantee every person in America a minimum POVERTY FREE INCOME.
Get corporate welfare queens off of the public teat = NOW!
SYSTEMATIC BREAKUP OF STATES FOR EXPLOITATION BY NATO
University of Illinois Professor Francis Boyle:
Paul Wolfowitz + General Wesley Clark = Pentagon list of 7 states to be destroyed: Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Syria = systematically destroying = Ukraine is the same = Promote destabilization and the breakup of Ukraine = NATO goal of moving into Ukrainian territory closer to Russia = HEART BEAT OF RUSSIA = Boyle’s book “The Criminality of Nuclear Deterrence” + New book “Destroying Libya and World Order” = citations
Russia = Distracted by US “RESET” by Zbignew Brzezinski and Richard Pipes.
Brzezinski = An expatriate Pole with great anger = Wants Breakup of Russia into 68 parts = protégés in key US foreign policy posts in Obama administration = US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, a specialist in color revolutions.
Correlations between Syria and Ukraine
Ukraine = A long time US and EU strategic military objective to get Ukraine into NATO.
Syria = A long time US and EU strategic military objective to get Ukraine into NATO.
EU offering to Ukraine = stepping stone to NATO = violation of the VERBAL pledge GHW Bush gave to President Gorbachev to allow reunification of Germany
Syria is now top target (like Libya) with Iran next + the crackup of Ukraine between east and west = Goals of US + EU + for the benefit of Israel = Yi Nolan Plan to crackup surrounding states to better manage them and keep them under control.
Syria = Now cracked in its constituent units = Like 3 Mini states in Iraq = similar pattern in Ukraine
NATO-EU = Gets Ukraine = Ukraine = utmost strategic significance to Russia = Cradle of its civilization = The mother of Russia = where Nestor wrote his chronicles
Boyle = I went through the same PhD program at Harvard that produced Brzezinski + Pipes + Kissinger = ardently against Russia = 10 years at the University of Chicago and Harvard Law School studying Russian history and literature, Soviet politics, Russian politics = Two professors in all that time were fair, reasonable and balanced professors on Russia = Professor Edward Keenan at Harvard and Director of the Russian Research Center was very fair, balanced and reasonable as was Professor Harold Berman at Harvard Law School + Professor Cohen at NYU is reasonable on Russia Writes in The Nation on Ukraine = wrote a very good book on Russia.
Obama’s mentor at Columbia = Brzezinski = Their foreign affairs guru who the foreign affairs staffing for Obama = McFaul from the Hoover Institute at Stanford = NeoCon like Brzezinski = Back to Carter = Bragged about starting the Afghan Mujahidin war against USSR
Brzezinski = Focused thinking on a reset in foreign Affairs = Objective is lead up to crackup of the Russia at the end of the day.
Credentials as an expert on Russia = Columbia + Harvard + Chicago
Harvard = Richard Pipes = Reagan’s top guru on the Soviet Union + The Committee on the Present Danger = another expatriate Pole = another fanatic against the Russians.
US Ambassador in Kiev, Nuland tape = Admits they spent at $5+ Billion promoting the opposition to the democratically elected government in Ukraine.
UPDATE: CHAINY-CPI MUST BE STOPPED! RUBIN DEMS = PETERSON+KOCH GOP
Actuaries = Social Security’s trust fund can last until 2033 with no changes
Actuaries = Could pay roughly 80% of benefits after 2033
Actuaries = Lifting the cap on payroll taxes = Top earners pay SS taxes on all income = Eliminates ALL CONCERNS and ENDS funding gap.
Senator Bernie Sanders said it best: “There is a war going on in this country … the war waged by the wealthiest people in America on the disappearing and shrinking middle class of our country. The nation’s billionaires are on the warpath. They want more, more, more.
Obama = FINALLY DROPS RUBIN HAMILTON PROJECT Social Security Cut From Budget = BYE BYE FRAUDULENT CHAINY-CPI
GOP = “grand bargain” raise taxes on RICH = ROLFLMAO!
GOP CREATED THE MASSIVE DEBTS = 2 USELESS AND FAKED WARS + MASSIVE TAX CUTS FOR MULTI-NATIONAL BILLIONAIRES
DEMS = CUT GOP Annual Deficits from $1+Trillion to below $500 Billion.
Social Security SHOULD BE EXPANDED AND the FORMULA FOR CPI SHOULD BE CPI-E for ELDERLY COSTS.
“I applaud the President’s decision to exclude chained CPI from the 2015 budget,. We are facing a very real and growing retirement crisis in America, and cutting social security is the last thing we should do.”
— Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) SAYS increase payments to retirees – difficult economic situations for many seniors
GOP = $9.9 TRILLION INCREASE IN NATIONAL DEBT = PURE GREED AND FRAUD FOR BILLIONAIRES!
ROFLMAO! But White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday the chained CPI offer remains “on the table,” if not in the budget.
GOP = AGAINST CHAINY-CPI = FEAR OF LOSING ELECTIONS
“They’re working on it (CHAINY-CPI) as we speak…With the middle class struggling and more people living in poverty than ever before, we cannot afford to make life even more difficult for seniors and some of the most vulnerable people in America…with the president to support the needs of the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor.”
— Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) One of the loudest critics of the chainy-CPI.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈▶
WHY OBAMA? = Chained-CPI for Social Security = CUTS OVER TIME = SENIORS BACK TO POVERTY LIKE 1930s = 250,000 Americans already put their names on the line against cuts.
SO America built our Social Security system in 1935.
10% or less Seniors now live in Poverty in 2013.
Social Security = Most successful social program in our country’s history = 78 yrs
Plutocrats have been trying for 40+ YEARS to ROB and dismantle Social Security
Pete Peterson, Nixonian FRAUD has spend part of his SCAMMED $BILLIONS to PRIVATIZE AND END IT!
Expand Social Security = Recent cost of living adjustments (COLAs of 1.5% in 2013) have not been keeping up with seniors’ actual living expenses.
Intelligent members of Congress have introduced bills that would ask millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share into Social Security at the same rate 98% of Americans do by removing or at least adjusting the CAP on FICA withholding of $113,700 in income.
Wall Street and GOP want SOCIAL SECURITY DESTROYED because it is too effective and make Wall Street look like an awful investment.
Social Security has $2.7 Trillion surplus Wall Street wants to ROB.
GOP wants more WalMart Greeters!
Here’s What Poverty Would Look Like If Social Security Didn’t Exist
SOCIAL SECURlTY DRAMATICALLY DECREASES POVERTY AMONG THE ELDERLY!
The blue line indicates per capita Social Security expenditure (in 2010 dollars), while the red line indicates the percentage of the population aged 65 or older with an income at or below the poverty line.

SOCIAL SECURITY PREVENTS POVERTY
“When you hear a Republican sneer “entitlement,” he or she is referring to Social Security and Medicare, for which people have paid 15% of their wages for their working lifetime. But when a Republican sneers, he or she is saying “welfare.” To the distorted mind of a Republican, Social Security and Medicare are undeserved welfare payments to people who over-consumed for a lifetime and did not save for their old age needs.”
— Paul Craig Roberts
PART OF THE GOP EMPIRE OF LIES – UNCOVERED!
Simple Solution = Remove the CAP on FICA and apply it to all kinds of Incomes.
