veterans
america as ideal for you
forget about a good job it's a career
something like a long term sheet manufacturing job making things are a
job with a pensioner good health insurance plan are silent carter
for you know i go to college er trade school like your parents are
grandparents did uh... on the g_i_ bill
because wal-mart has a deal for you
he had to do more to wal-mart
where even if you do a lawyer shop in a wal-mart your paychecks still while
cover your cause to live in see you qualify for things like medicaid and
food stamps
bars as they are a hundred thousand that's over the next year
there's that wonderful
the fire there is a sam walton's wal-mart fortune have more wealth than
the bottom forty three percent of all americans and they're willing to let you
veterans add to their wealth
ditto for
url wal-mart c_e_o_ wins the nine dollars now do you make a wal-mart makes
around nine thousand dollars an hour
he's quite pleased to offer you job for less than that dot
so if you can work at the house are surrounding every year it full time
you can make his much is the c_e_o_ makes in one hour
aren't you lucky
and walmart will probably get a healthy tax-credit and will definitely get a tax
deduction for hiring you
according to bloomberg net tax deduction could be up to nine hundred sixty
million dollars
but i expect to see any of that money
tax breaks to rich people after all like wal-mart c_e_o_ its major shareholders
in
and it is one of the answer it
but still you get a job right how does wal-mart though they carry a well
because so many wal-mart's employees
are so poorly paid and treated that lots of their
associates
leaving their jobs every day
so there's always room for you
specially that nice fat new tax break for wal-mart if
they hire you veterans
whatever skills you learn in the military from supervising construction
idea office work you can just set that stuff aside
instead you're gonna be stocking shelves running cash registers in greeting
shoppers at the door earning so little money that you and your kids will still
qualify for food stamps
imag right
when sam walton started wal-mart he was probably pretty much everything in his
store
was made here in the girl u_s_a_ i remember live in atlanta
one of the very first wal-mart's in georgia opened just north of us louise i
drove out there big banner across the front
you know as i did
pain on one of these big giant sheets of cloth
i as my recollection is a set hundred-percent and mike
that part on might not be real actually right on this had made in the u_s_a_
you won't see a sign of a war when congress changed our trade laws in the
eighties and nineties this was the swing back in the uh... early eighties
to give companies tax breaks to move their factories overseas sam and his
errors took down that proud made in u_s_a_ sign
uh... which used to decorate stores instead they scoured the planet for the
chief of staff they could find and they've found old on it
change stuff lousy paid virtually no about that's not a chance for union
wal-mart is figured out a squeeze out billions from its workers they can pass
along to its stockholders
but of course no that is for
you you're just a p on right
but they are the job
if your tragedy here isn't
spirited speed seriously but your tragedy here isn't the walmart is pain
so poorly
or that they're getting and how you know hundreds of millions of dollars of your
and my tax dollars
to give newly-released that's a poor pay no
real benefits job
the real tragedy is that there are tens of thousands of factories across the
country they would offer you a much better job with much better pay and
benefits and back
is because of thirty years that same trade policies
instead of papered over the damage so-called free trade has done to america
like a loss of over fifty thousand factories
and tens of millions of good jobs
and that's just since two thousand
our lawmakers should for focus on bringing home our factories then
or bring home a harsh soldiers
there will be real
jobs
good wages and benefits waiting for
