The People Scamming Welfare Are Not Who You Think (More Perfect Union)



Your taxes subsidize Amazon and Walmart poverty wages.

These are trillion dollar companies, but 33% of Amazon workers need public assistance and 25% of Walmart workers need SNAP to survive.

We investigated how corporations are taking advantage of workers—and all of us.


More Perfect Union (MPU) is an Emmy award-winning advocacy journalism nonprofit built on a simple mission: “Building power for the working class.” We're holding the ultra rich and powerful corporations accountable and empowering the working class to take back power.
