FOX Business: Walmart (WMT), the nation’s largest employer, with 1.5 million U.S. workers will allow the majority of those employees, 1 million, to share in the benefits of the largest sweeping tax reform in three decades.
The retailer is boosting starting hourly wages to $11 an hour. Additionally, the retailer will give one-time $1,000 bonus payments to workers, depending on length of service at the company. It is also extending maternity and parental benefits. The changes take place in February.

Yeah, first they scream: “the evil corporations (as if a paper entity could in fact be EVIL) won’t share a dime of this tax cut!!

WTF is wrong with these morons? Do they actually think that nobody is paying attention?
