But, when a private company does it as a response to a Republican tax cut, it's worthless.
Don't pretend you aren't aware of the difference. An increased minimum wage affects all employees. A company doing it only affects their employees.
Also there's no reason to make this partisan, if a Republican government raised the minimum wage most people would hail that as a great achievement too. Politics isn't a game.
You cannot ignore the fact that Walmart are letting thousands of employees go at the same time they are increasing their wages. That's what makes this "worthless".
