Wagner said that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was creating real results. "Since passage, @Walmart increased their starting wage to $11/hr & has given about $400 million in bonuses." Wagner is correct that Walmart made the payments and that it credited the legislation for the company’s actions. For this we rate Wagner’s .
