Just saw an ad for Walmart touting the wage raise for staff. Say your prayers for Walmart...they

must be suffering terribly by having to pay their staff a dollar or 3 more an hour. Send your vibes to the Walton family who will not notice a single thing. And hope that those businesses that followed Walmart's low wage policy across the world will follow suit.

But, hey at least the OWS movement had no bearing on the national conversation or what is going on in California or Seattle. So, the Walton's can relax it will all blow over and the oligarchy will remain intact.

I don't believe this national discussion would have taken place without them though. And Bernie wouldn't be worrying them at this point either without them.
