Watched "Walmart, The Cost of Low Prices"

The administration would have everyone in America working for a $1 an hour if they could tax that money and make claims on Fox News of having 0% unemployment.

If you raise minimum wage then people will loose jobs. Of course they're not feeding themselves at minimum wage so it's not a big lose but it looks bad on paper. The administration can not do something if the numbers look bad.

The real thing to do would be to cut taxes on minimum wage workers which would put more money in their pockets but then we'd need to raise taxes on the richest Americans, which is something else that the administration can't do.

Walmart has done some brilliant things in cutting costs but recently they've ran out of new ideas and paying off politicians to increase thier profits. We all know that.
