How many people are getting bonuses or pay raises? Multiple that by $1000 plus hourly increases.
That's not crumbs.
Actually $400,000,000 to the heirs of a megacorporation collectively worth 89.5 billion is crumbs and it's especially crumbs on the individual level. Please tell me what a significant difference of quality in your life you will see with an extra $2.77 per day, I'll wait.

Here is the definition of ignorance folks.
Ask the employees receiving raises and big bonuses if this is crumbs to them.
Also, your $2.77 per day is also complete bull#, walmart minimum wage went from $9 to $11, on an 8 hour shift that is an additional $16 per day per employee....but wait there's more! The employee will be taxed on that additional $16 a day, and so will walmart. You probably have never been management or handled payroll so I'll let you in on a secret. Every dollar you pay in income tax your employer matches. Walmart employs an estimated 2.1 MILLION people. Lets play conservative here and say 30% of their employees make walmart minimum wage, and lets also consider them part time at 25 hours per week, that adds up to 10.5 MILLION dollars a WEEK in additional payroll expenses, or an additional 5.4 BILLION dollars in salary annually. Now we get to the fun part, payroll taxes that walmart will pay. Lets assume the 15% rate, that is an additional $819 MILLION annually walmart will pay in payroll taxes from a conservative estimate of their raises.
Crumbs my ass. Pelosi is delusional.
So.. the Walmart 1,000 bonus
Here's how the bonus payout breaks down:
-- $200: Less than 2 years of Walmart employment
-- $250: 2-4 years of Walmart employment
-- $300: 5-9 years of Walmart employment
-- $400: 10-14 years of Walmart employment
-- $750: 15-19 years of Walmart employment
-- $1,000: 20 years or more of Walmart employment

With a globe trotting military and slick corporate subsidizes (welfare) at every turn our govt is not cheap to run, and some one is going to pay for it. Want to guess who that is (hint it isn't the poor and it isn't the rich).
We all know that government (republican or democrat) spends our money like a sailor on shore leave after 2 years at sea.
We need to focus on waste and corruption because government won't police themselves.

Do we have any idea on what the tax savings for Walmart is going to be?
