Sanders fights Bush Nominee on WalMart tax breaks

Back


Last week, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) grilled White House budget director nominee Jim Nussle at Nussle's Senate confirmation hearing. Sanders forced Nussle to go on record admitting that at a time the White House is trying to prevent better-funding children's health care programs, he supports giving the members of Wal-Mart's Walton family alone a tax break worth more than $30 billion.

The ones that are doing well and so called successful are stealing and created this financial quagmire of a MESS! The WTO, EU, banking systems that are global are now doing the ponzi global stealing. It is now happening in the big box retail sector globally. This ponzi scam has got to end!!!!

How is giving more to the wealthy any better than giving more power to the government, because that is what happens when you lose government intervention in the economy.

First of all Senator Sanders is an Independent Socialist. Second Both parties are corrupt and seem to support the destruction of individual rights the true freedom that this country is supposed to be based on.
