The heirs of late Walmart founder Sam Walton are backing Hillary Clinton for president.
Collectively, the leading members of Arkansas' Walton family have given about $714,000 to the candidate and the Democratic Party during the current election cycle, federal records show.
The donations are an example of the longstanding ties between the Walton and Clinton families. It is an awkward situation for the candidate, a former Walmart board member, since most of her allies in organized labor and the broader liberal movement detest the Waltons, mainly because of the company's anti-union stance.

It is the old “protection” racket. You pay for protection and we will not kill you.
It might also be called a bribe.
People argue that tariffs only hurt the consumers. I say that the taxes raised from tariffs should go to replace all the equipment worn out by the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
She was on the Walton board several years ago, don’t know if she still is.
Good. Now neither Ds nor Rs will shop there.
They’re going downhill...I shop there every other week and it has become less and less practical every time I’ve gone in 2016. I’m just going to stop funding them.
F@ck Walmart then! Mfers!
it is increasingly likely walmart will have to close down more and more stores as the Democratic Party-enabled and inspired thuggery and lawlessness (and just plain pilfery, shoplifting) and assaults increase in frequency.. inside and around more and more walmart stores
so it is bad for WM shareholders for the founding family to be supporting the very politicians that are enabling all the violence and crime at their stores
UGH!
I get itchy just going in there!
Clintons and Sam go back a long way this is no surprise
Great recent article on how Walmart maintains security to an absolute MINIMUM and simply rely on constant POLICE CALLS in order to catch petty thievery —it’s more economical that way.
A lot of rural PD’s indulge it, too, cuz while the total volume of crime is roughly the same, they don’t have to DRIVE AROUND ALL DAY —all the thieves are in the same spot, more or less.
So the medical care for their workers will be OBAMACARE and their security is simply DA COPS.
So their production costs are outsourced to CHINA, and most of their biz costs are outsourced onto the backs of the taxpayer
Hillary’s ties to Wall Mart go way back to the Clinton’s Arkansas days. It’s well documented. I think she was their lawyer for a time and I also think she held a position on the board of directors at some point. When WallMart was starting up in Ark they needed some ‘favors’ from the Clinton’s and I’m sure that their checks to the Clinton’s cleared.
can you imagine the dirt the clintons have got on them
They complained mightily about how awful black folks had it, too, at the same time that they were bulldozing neighborhoods black folks worked in and moving them all to huge high rise welfare plantations where they could be more easily monitored and controlled by the select few they made deals with.
It's also no accident that democrat fascists absolutely love Margret Sanger's solution to having too many black folks which is to murder them in the womb if you can't sterilize them.
JMHo
Well, now they go on double boycott probation!
I definitely Will Boycott Walmart !
(soon as I find a store
with cheap ammo,
Jack Daniel’s,
Marlboro’s and milk.)
I. Read. Labels. I. Buy. American.
I shop at Walmart, as it’s my ONLY choice, unless I drive 60 miles out of my way. And, I’m not gonna do that.
They’re not 100% evil. Only partly so.
And it’s NOT Sam, it’s his ill-begotten offspring, which is normally the case when Dad does all the work and the slacker kids reap all the benefits another generation or two down the line!
There ought to be a law. ;)
Globalist support globalists.
Just one more reason not to shop at Wally World. As if any sane person needed another reason.
