> Why should the American people subsidize the profits of a corporation for years?

Walmart already has extremely low profit margins, any increase in wages would be passed directly to their poor customers.

In fact, the status quo is the best way of solving the wealth inequality problem. That is, let Walmart make as much profit as they can and then tax the hell out of them, their well-paid executives, and their shareholders and redistribute that tax money to the poor.
