Walmart has over 2 million employees. 10,000 people make up less than 0.5% of their workforce. Does that really surprise you?
And you don't stop making yourself more competitive just because a tax cut was announced a few weeks ago.
You right wingers have to get your rhetoric straight. Were tax cuts about creating jobs and raising wages or making Executives and people who earn most of their income off dividend stocks richer?

The tax cuts were about the government stealing less money from the people who earned it.
The ever-increasing income/wealth inequality cannot continue. It's not good for anyone, including business.
and the wealth gap is increasing in ever first world nation... including all of the most social-democratic countries that liberals praise up and down....
We tried these huge tax cuts in the past and all it gave us was more debt and failing infrastructure. You would think Republicans would learn, but they keep trying to make trickle down stick to the wall....or Republicans are in the pockets of the economic elite, and don't serve the interests of the common American.
Everyone remember a few weeks ago when WalMart tripped itself with its latest PR stunt? The retail giant announced an increase in its minimum wage, while the same day announcing over 60 store closures...some with no notice at all.
Well now, they’re at it again. It’s just been announced that the company will be laying off 1000 associates working with home office by 2019. There’s also been 3500 comanagers informed that by the end of March they will either have to find some open position or take a severance. These are not low paying jobs, these are corporate professionals and store associates making 60k+ a year. (Btw the comanager information will be hard to come by online. The company is trying to remain closed lol at least until Monday)
These are the kinds of things that really make you wonder how much greed and corruption we will tolerate before it becomes unbearable. The whole purpose of the tax break was supposed to be to increase development and spur job creation. Well everyone, you can’t hide what it clearly was like we’ve been saying from the beginning...a giant hand out to the rich. If Republicans gave a damn about the poor or middle class, they would’ve required a minimum of job creation and capital investment in order for your business to be applicable for the tax cut.
But nope...looks like the evil empire will continue to have and eat it’s cake...
You forgot to mention that the laid off employees worked for Sam's Club and they were all given 60 days of severance pay. Hardly kicked to the curb.
^^This is exactly why 40% of millenials prefer Socialism to Capitalism. Corporations have abdicated their responsibility to their employees and their communities. We are all in this together - it's time they began acting like it.

If you want equal wealth then get off your duff and go make you some! If you're not that motivated to put in the effort and energy to creating wealth then don't whine.

That's just talk radio mumbo jumbo. No one is asking for equal wealth.
To all those with no problem with this: would you STILL feel that way of Hillary or Obama was President and this happened?
