        Is it to much? As the only reason they have gone up is because of Trump!

        You and I both know that's poverty. The tax cuts were meant for the rich.

        That's why the everyday working person is getting more money with bonuses,less tax pulled if you are paying tax, and pay raises. Yes I agree the rich get some breaks as well.

        Don't forget you need to pay for healthcare/insurance out of that also. Min wage is a poverty borderline slavery wage.

        More optice nonsense. Their profits doubled with the new tax law. The raise is for new hires. What about the other 160,000 employees?

        Damn that tax reform bill! It keeps raising wages, giving bonuses, and undermining the MSM and Dems talking points! The audacity of the evil GOP! #midterms2018

        Misleading. “In the wake of” suggests a causal relationship , which is unsupported. The cause more likely is the tightening labor market over the last 6 yrs and the minimum wage increases given by other employers competing for the same labor pool.

        I guess that’s nice. Washington state minimum is 11.50$. Difficult to pay a beginner a lot of compensation. Good for CVS. Great job America. Tax Breaks good news.

        When companies raise pay, that increases the taxes that go back to the government. Even with the tax decrease, part of the decrease is going back in taxes. I feel that with the increase in investment, consumer confidence, increase pay, bonuses, the deficit will go down.

        That is still not a living wage, therefore hardly a perk.
