Walmart for Hillary!
Hillary Clinton Just Received a Massive Donation from America’s Most Hated Oligarch
Amanda Girard | February 26, 2016
Newly-revealed campaign finance records show a wealthy Walmart heiress gave a donation exceeding a third of a million dollars to Hillary Clinton’s “Victory Fund.”
Alice Walton, who ranks #12 in the Forbes 400 with more than $32 billion in personal assets, gave $353,400 to the victory fund — one of the funds backing her 2016 presidential campaign. While the donation was made in December of 2015, the record of her contribution wasn’t made public until this week. Alice is one of the most controversial Walton heirs. In 2011, she was arrested for drunk driving, but ultimately got off scot-free despite having a blood alcohol level of 0.16. Walton famously told her arresting officers, “I’m Alice Walton, bitch!”

I wonder if it was the Waltons who convinced Bill to pass welfare reform and the crime bill to ensure they'd have an unlimited supply of cheap labor to staff their checkouts and depress wages?
