All these poor white, mainly southern Americans who vote for the Republicans just know that someday they will win the Lotto and they will be rich too. That is why they do not want to raise taxes on the rich.
Plus the Walton family are good southern Christians who deserve the billions they have made by underpaying their workers and stealing tax dollars from the rest of us in the form of direct subsidies to open their stores s well as the billions in state and federal benefits their employees receive because the Waltons do not pay enough to live on.

I agree they are economic terrorists. Put them in the empty cells at Guantamamo. Right next to Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Woo, Bybee, Powell, Rice and the rest of the Iraqi War criminals. Make them listen to endless reruns of Pat Robertson speeches and Sarah Palin speeches.
Maybe some Taylor Swift songs too.

Or would that be torture?
