The amount of money American taxpayers have pay to cover the taxes Walmart avoids. This term also applies to the increased drain on taxpayer funded programs by underpaid and uninsured Walmart employees.
Walmart sets up stores in buildings they "rent" from their own shell companies. They pay "rent" to themselves, then deduct it from their taxes. This money grubbing scum scheme helped Walmart avoid $3.39 Billion in state taxes from 1999-2005.
Also taxpayers will pay $9.1 Billion over the next 5 years to cover Walmart employee health care costs. They have almost 800,000 workers without health care coverage. Many of Walmart's employees are forced to use Medicaid or just show up at an emergancy room. This kind of bullshit taxes us all by increasing the cost of healthcare for all of us!

The Walmart tax hurts the whole economy and helps keep them rich while shifting the costs to the people. Their Pro-China attitude towards merchandise hurts American jobs and their heinous tax avoidance schemes also hurt America's bottom line! Here's the real cost of the WalMart Tax-- If WalMart paid all of the taxes they owed in 2005: 318,440 uninsured children would have health coverage; 21,963 elementary school students would have new classrooms; and 9,499 additional police officers could be patrolling our streets! "SAVE MONEY--LIVE BETTER," obviously this doesn't really apply to the shoppers only to the Walmart corporation!

Get the WalMart Tax mug.A blue collar traitor is a laborer who supports the G.O.P. Eventhough Republicans are anti-labor and unions support Democrats, some blue collar workers actually vote Republican.
Blue collar workers work hard for their money and they are the backbone of a strong American economy. They actually make stuff (manufacture products, build buildings etc.) many of these laborers belong to unions, so they can help protect each other from greedy corporations.
These blue collar people vote for Democrats because they are the party that supports the working class. The Republicans only look out for the richest 2% of the population and support the big corporations that finance their campaigns.

Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio) is another kind of blue collar traitor. He grew up in a blue collar family and actually joined the Republican anti-labor party!

One of those heinously corrupt organizations that takes money grubbing scum to new levels!
These bastards took more than $160Billion in government bailout money and then gave top executives more than $160Million in bonuses! What kind of shithead would give multimillion dollar bonuses to the fuckwits that drove the company into the ground?!

Get the A.I.G. mug.Constitution Shredders first gained power during the Bush Administraion. After the "events" of 9/11/01, George W. Bush pushed for more government control to "fight terrorism." Bush's Patriot Act, warrantless wiretapping and censorship marked the beginning of the end of the Bill of Rights. The Right Wing nut jobs' continuous anti-gay and "pro-life" actions are attacks on the "equal protection under the law" provsions of the constitution. Now in 2010 as the anti-immigrant movement grows, John Boehner and other G.O.P. Congressmen and Senators are talking about changing the 14th Ammendment. They want to deny U.S. Citizenship to children born in America if the parents are illeagal immigrants!
The Republican Party is full of Constitution Shredders!

Get the Constitution Shredders mug.Reference to controversial plan to build a Mosque and "community center" in New York City, near the site of Ground Zero. The controversy and outrage comes from the 9/11 terrorist attacks involving Muslims and the victims' families still in mourning. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the plan, is either extremely insensitive to the 9/11 victims or a truly obscene terrorist sympathizer!
Many people were rightfully appalled when the Ground Zero Mosque received approval from the NYC building commission! Whether intentional or not, the location of Rauf's planned Mosque is really a bad idea.

Get the Ground Zero Mosque mug.On the day after Thanksgiving (a.k.a. Black Friday) all shopping areas are total chaos. Rather than fighting insane crowds to save a few dollars, the smart people stay home and avoid the malls on that Friday.

Get the Avoid the Mall Day mug.A U.S. Senator from Alaska. Murkowski was the incumbant in the 2010 election, but she was defeated in the G.O.P. primary by tea party candidate Joe Miller.
After the primary she mounted a write-in campaign. After some dispute and a recount, Murkowski won re-election in the first sucessful write-in campaign in 50 years!

It was a glorious slap in the face for Sarah Palin when Lisa Murkowski defeated her favored tea party candidate!
