while a nice message don’t hesitate to remind yourself Walton is a capitalist and fully understands the marketing here.

You do realize that's textbook nouveau riche, right?

Old money doesn't flaunt it. They don't have to, when they pull all the strings.

the minute any Walton has to "pay-up" their contributions will stop.

The rich DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. Only THEIR bottom line.

They dont care about the peasants getting rounded up and losing rights. What they're upset is being taxed "unfairly". Walmart's products are all largely imported, therefore heavily affected by tarrifs. It just happens for a moment, their enemy is our enemy for now.
