Related: About this forumIf Fox News Told the Truth, It Would Look Like This
Imagine living in a world where the media called out the real welfare kings. My guess is that it would look something like this:
Earlier this month, Americans for Tax Fairness released a report revealing that Walmart and the Walton family who owns it receive $7.8 billion each year in tax breaks and subsidies.
Even more shocking, Walmart costs taxpayers an estimated $6.2 billion because they pay workers so little that many are forced to rely on government assistance programs.
Can you help us tell America who the real welfare kings are? Watch the video above, then click the links below to share it on Facebook and Twitter.
Thanks for your support in calling out the people who are really exploiting the generosity of taxpayers.
Best,
Jamie Way
