Last week in Wisconsin, Donald Trump and Scott Walker were busy shoveling over $4,OOO,OOO,OOO of our tax dollars into the pockets of Foxconn — a Taiwanese manufacturer that runs sweatshops in China, India and Mexico.
Sign on: Demand Trump put America's workers first!
And here’s the worst part — Trump and Walker received NO GUARANTEES that Foxconn will use our money to create good jobs for workers in the USA.
If there’s one thing America doesn’t need, it’s more poverty-level jobs at firms that violate worker rights and force workers to rely on public aid to survive.
Thanks to Faco Fabian for sending this article to me.

@Josie ~ I'm not sure if Trump won Wisconsin, I would have to check on that. I do know that it is former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's home state. The amount of Wisconsin voters who expressed anger at Ryan about his self serving actions (actions that HURT Wisconsin residents) and the tremendous support of his Democratic challenger, caused Ryan to decide against seeking reelection. I guess Trump, Ryan and Ryan's chosen replacement candidate will do a lot of campaiging to try prevent GOP loses in Wisconsin. If Ryan had put his efforts to help his constitutes and the other 98% of Americans, he wouldn't have had to give up his seat in Congress.

@flpoolbum _Wisconsin apparently is a swing State and Trump won in the last election. Trump's trade war with China and Mexico will hurt the agriculture sector of Wisconsin. This will probably be one of the issue that will bring down GOP candidates in this State.

@NJChicaa ~So sad, but true. It's Trump, the Republican majority in Congress, who put their own self interests and those of other billionaires against those the other 97% of Americans.
What's worse is Trump's own self interest, those of other billionaires, corporate CEO's and his obsession with and hatred of President Obama, that he overturns environmental protections laws and acts like the "Stream Protection Rule" which will have dire consequences for all the living creatures on the Earth.
