Wal-Mart Says ‘Looking’ at Support of Minimum Wage Raise - Bloomberg

An increase in the Minimum wage helps their bottom line.

Also, we wouldn't have to subsidize their low wage employees.

Wal-Mart Says ‘Looking’ at Support of Minimum Wage Raise - Bloomberg: "Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), the largest private employer in the U.S., said it’s looking at supporting an increase in the federal minimum wage, breaking with business and industry groups that oppose such a measure.

Wal-Mart is weighing the impact of additional payroll costs against possibly attracting more consumer dollars to its stores, David Tovar, a company spokesman, said today in a telephone interview. Increasing the minimum wage means that some of the 140 million people who shop at the chain weekly would “now have additional income,” Tovar said."
