I'm sure you are aware that repubs are blocking legislation to bring jobs back and provide incentives to businesses to keep jobs here. Oh wait, Fox didn't tell you...
PolitiFact | Bernie Sanders says Walmart heirs own more wealth than bottom 40 percent of Americans |
What is "
republican corporate ideology"?
Do you mean the Bring Jobs Home Act of 2012? You know, the last Congress, not this Congress.
Your link doesn't back up your assertion. You confuse wealth with income. From your own link

"Wealth is always more unequally distributed than income," Worstall wrote. "By the way, it isn’t even true that all of those households with zero or negative wealth are what we would call poor, either. It’s entirely possible to have no net assets while having a good income, even a high income. All you need to have is debts higher than your assets: something that will almost certainly be true of anyone with student debt and fresh out of college, for example."
He added: "If you’ve no debts and have $10 in your pocket you have more wealth than 25 percent of Americans."
Bivens, for good measure, calculated the comparison of the Waltons vs. all Americans after removing households with a negative net worth -- those that drag down the overall average and make the Waltons’ advantage look greater. He found that the Walmart heirs’ $89.5 billion "is still equal to the combined net worth of the bottom 33.2 million families (about 28.2 percent of the total)."
