Why is it misguided? Maybe some of these people will come off of food stamps and other govt handouts. Maybe there is an upside? Should I feel sorry for the stock holders who will only get $1.40 per share instead of 1.60? Where is the victim here? Walmart will make 18B instead of 20B should I loose sleep over that?

You keep using that number, $20B. Walmart has never recorded a $20B profit. It doesn't matter one way or the other if you hold the opinion that their diminished profit doesn't affect you in any way, but if you're going to spout numbers, at least use the correct ones.

If you were running the company and arbitrarily increased wages, would you have the sense to not bitch about it costing you profits?

I'm betting you would.

The young Waltons didn't.
