Walmart has no choice but increase wages. They directly compete with all other poverty wage providers for labor..and some of -those- providers directly compete for market share with walmart. Target is fucking with them on the big box front, and amazon is scaring the pants out of their fulfillment centers. The wage increases had absolutely nothing to do with the tax break, and the employees won't be seeing a dime of it. They're pushing back against amazon with layoffs and closures in support of walmart direct shipping (of the 63 stores being closed up to ten will become walmart fulfillment centers), and back against target with higher box wages. They've been doing this for years.
-and then there's dollar general, crushing them like they were common obamas in rural america.
The tax break is a windfall for investors and ceo bonuses, and that's exactly what it was designed to be by the lobbyists who wrote it. Full stop.
