Susan: Tax cuts are not free money. Citizens across the country are paying more to give to corporate giants. Walmart workers, 40% on food stamps. $11.00 per hr. does not get them off. Walmart has had record profits for years. Now a new taxpaper gift.

The Walton family personally controls a staggering percentage of wealth in this country and upping their shitty store wages to $11 is not going to bring their employees out of poverty.

Life comes at you fast. https://t.co/G2IsBcRsPX?amp=1

Will they stop showing their employees how to apply for food stamps and other government benefits now! You do realize that Walmart employees use food stamps, subsidized housing and Medicaid more than other employers?!

And closing Sams Club locations, including 3 in Indiana and terminating those employees, both hourly and salaried. Have a nice day.

$11 is not enough! While I applaud their effort to raise wages, we need to go further and support a living wage. Come join me in the revolution. Like/share/comment http://diondouglasforcongress.com 

@SusanWBrooks The cost for $1/hr raise cost Taxpayers $1 TRILLION! $11/hr isn’t living wage. Bonuses are for 20+ & 15+ year employees. #IN05

This raise will not even cover the 10 cent a gallon gas tax increase in Indiana. It is also not enough to get Walmart employees off food stamps. At what point do you start telling us the truth?

Walmart recently announced $20 billion in stock buybacks. Walmart also announced layoffs TODAY. Did the #GOPTaxScam do this? Walmart is abruptly closing Sam's Club stores and laying off thousands of workers, and no one knows why http://read.bi/2CTz9xJ  via @BI_RetailNews

A total of 419 #Hoosiers lost their job from Sam's Club today alone. Yet you tout great news about Walmart. #Complicit
