McDonald’s uses its profits to enrich shareholders while paying wages so low that many of their workers need food stamps, Medicaid, and public housing to survive. That is the greed we are going to end. - Bernie Sanders Facebook Page . #McDonalds #Stocks #StockBuybacks #TaxTheCorporations #TaxTheRich #MinimumWage #RaiseTheMinimumWage #FoodStamps #SNAP #Medicaid #PublicHousing #BernieSanders #BernieSanders2020 #Bernie2020 #BernieSandersForPresident https://www.instagram.com/p/B4gKrhRF_m1/?igshid=a001okx1iz1u

If Walmart can afford $20 billion for stock buybacks, it can afford to raise the pay of its workers to a living wage of $15 an hour. - Bernie Sanders Facebook Page . #Stocks #StockBuybacks #Walmart #WaltonFamily #WalmartWorkers #TaxTheCorporations #TaxTheRich #MinimumWage #RaiseTheMinimumWage #BernieSanders #BernieSanders2020 #Bernie2020 #BernieSandersForPresident https://www.instagram.com/p/B4gKGM9FpB9/?igshid=1sr5uoe0ir44v

In light of GM spending $10.6 billion since 2015 on its own stock buybacks, its move to cut up to 14,000 jobs seems entirely preventable if the company had focused on real profit growth rather than artificially raising stock prices by reducing the number of shares on the market.
