When you become wealthy or a big business suddenly you only care about lowering your taxes and squeezing every penny from your workers. Not all, but most. Subsequently, most businesses and wealthy people lean republican because they always promise to lower taxes and give them breaks regular people can’t get.
I want to be outraged, but it’s not like this is news.
Given the recent TB price hikes, I can order takeout from a local small business and get better food for the same price. And they donāt support right-wing nut jobs.
Sorry, Taco Bell, youāve shot yourself in the foot. Just deleted the app from my phone and am removing myself from this sub.
damn I literally went like 3-4 days a week. cut chic-fil-a out taco bell will be just as easy.
It isnāt just Yum! Foods. By a long shot.
If a person avoided all businesses that contribute to right wing causes/people the list of things/places youād have to avoid would intersect every facet of your life.
Thatās an unfortunate thing to read as I sit in a Taco Bell parking lotā¦Iām not exactly happy with them as is given the current price gouging, but Taco Bell going full chick fil a could definitely push me away permanently
Most big companies donate to both sides to hedge their bets.
Itās $15,000 a year, hardly newsworthy.
A massive fast food conglomerate based out of Kentucky threw a few GOP lawyers a couple grand? Shocking.
A corporation is lobbying the people who protect corporations? Who would have thoughtā¦
I donāt care. Will continue to consume tacos.
Nazis!
How is this news? This is to illicit negativity from 50% of it’s readers. This happens with the VAST majority of large companies with one side or the other and at the end of the day it doesn’t fucking matter. Life’s too short to care about such trivial things.
Who gives a fuck im still eating
A whole 15k. It’s the death of freedom in the world. Everyone wail and gnash their teeth.
Democrats would never, ever engage in any form of financial chicanery like this because they’re GOOD people, not like these BAD republicans and NAZIS.
I already frequent Taco Bell and I’ll definitely visit them tomorrow.
[No!!!!](https://media0.giphy.com/media/14kjySOKhofYI/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b9522p2zs9da7x7nt6kfyie3okp0hjrfs41raanh94p1&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
Well I’m definitely going to get my money’s worth from that Taco Pass now. I’m gonna get the most expensive item I can to cost these GOP supporters as much as possible!
I’m going to eat there more now!
I think we should boycott every corporation that donates to either party. Even on a philosophical level, how can they claim this is legit, while any other activity is treated like they embezzled from their stock investors. It’s maximize profits one day, but not the next.
I’ll still keep eating that garbage
It probably will save them a ton of money since they are a major corporation. Is this supposed to be a surprise?
Why is this a post? Who cares? lmao
Oh, no!
A multi-billion dollar business based out of a red state gave $15,000 to local conservatives?
Say it ain’t so!
Seriously, I wish people were as concerned about international trafficking, slave labor, and authoritarianism.
Awesome š
I mean look at Chick-fil-A doesnāt hurt or impact their business. As long as they donāt give me a side of politics with my tacos idc then.
How will you sleep at night after you uncovered something this heinous?
Great! Iāll buy more now!
Now Iām sad I quit KFC /s
Politically speaking nearly every major corporation funds both left and right wing causes.
I’m not a fan of it of course, but it is a reality that these corporations ‘need’ to stay in the relative good graces of both parties due to the fact that the US is relatively not stable politically.
With an annual revenue nearing 7 billion, Yum’s political donations in 2022 were a mere ~$80K, distributed fairly evenly to both major parties. It’s typical for large corporations to offer modest contributions to Washington.
Wait what’s wrong with funding right wing causes?
Awesome!
Corporations back Republicans?? BIG IF TRUE.
Thank god now itās time to get some Taco Bell šŗšø
Anyone here going to start boycotting them TB & KFC like how they boycotted CFA?
Who the hell cares? Just eat your food.
Still gonna eat it
And? Who gives a shit. Seriously.
But of course they did
Showed this to one of my buds and he says “damn I always knew the company who took away the quesarrito would do this!”
That why the food is so shitty at both places. Owned by the same shitty company
Of course the only news outlet I even follow is “exposedbycmd.com”
I eat what I want you can boycott it if you want to but you’ll be miserable for it. Bye.
As long as the food is still great as always I could really care less what they donate to
hmmm didn’t know they wanted to be gay lol
Funding those that want to slap life sentences for smoking the devils lettuce, while being the food of choice for said smokers. That’s a bold strategy cotton
Does this change the menu or food prices?
Politics are not on the menu.
šššš
Letās go
Good for them!
Interesting how this article talks about donations to republican candidates but not the 12,200 they donated to Sheila Jackson Lee or 11,050 it donated to Morgan McGarvey. In fact, in 2022 they actually donated more to D [politicians](https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/yum-brands/summary?id=D000029955)then Rs.
But hey don’t let the story get in the way of the narrative
