Feel the Bern
Bernie Sanders’s latest legislative proposal is the Stop Walmart Act; Sanders describes Walmart as the “poster child for corporate greed” and uses that as a launching point to propose a ban on stock buybacks from companies unless they pay their lowest-waged employees $15/hour.
It’s a followup to his Stop Bezos Act, a proposal that ultimately shamed Amazon to raising its minimum wage to $15.

I hate this guy. He’s so sexist & racist.
He’s not even a Democrat!
Nobody in my family works at Walmart (shudder) or ever will, so it doesn’t affect me. Obviously pandering to the white working class and their so-called “economic anxiety.”
Doesn’t he know that if Wal-Mart pays $15.00 an hour the price of my Cool Ranch Doritos will go up?
Economics!
Doritos are so déclassé. I buy sea-salt kale crisps from Trader Joe’s. Walmart is where I go when I’m at the beach house and need to run out and buy a new espresso machine, if there’s not time to order from Amazon.
Their parsnip chips are good, too.
