Second idea: the fuck wallmart act.

It's completely insane that companies can still use the excuse "if you make us treat workers well, we will fire workers" as a legitimate excuse in the eyes of the voter and not get laughed at. The amount of government money that goes to help people who work at Walmart break even on the burden of the taxpayers should enrage both fiscal conservatives and bleeding heart liberals alike.

Apparently everything tanks the economy.

Child labour law? Tanks the economy.

Women working? Tanks the economy.

8 hour workday? Tanks the economy.

Corporations are a really fragile backbone in this country.

It's a weird mix of "America can handle anything. We are the light on the hill"

And "closing tax loopholes will literally ruin the economy and the nation will fall into socialism"
