brian has it exactly at why walmart would support a minimum wage increase.
Now, i personally have to agree with smeth and politicophile, smeth for the fact that educational opportunities are not just a product of how much money is spent on schools, but on how many other factors and stresses play into this. Politicophile for the simple assesment that a min wage increase would actually increase the number of 'living wages' jobs, which i think is much more important than bottom line profit margins, but that's just me.
I still find it sickening at how much CEO's/senators/upper/middle/lower management people will get a yearly increase while the poorer get ..well, nothing
