Walmart for example spent $0.3B out of $2.2B annual tax cut savings on that wage hike. Sure, a dollar is always a dollar, but when you weigh that against loss of mortgage benefits, grad school stipends, fewer people with health insurance and most likely higher costs in coming years... then that one time bonus or slight wage increase disappears quite quickly. Championing a few dollars (while being significant to a lot of people) is really just misdirection not to look behind the curtain, and frankly quite patronizing.
