Where’s the public outcry like AIG

Wal-mart is handing out $2-billion to provide incentive for its employees to sell more. This is outrageous! I shop there. Why don’t they just lower prices instead of motivating their employees to bring more revenue into the company through cash incentives?

This is absurd. Is Congress passing a bill to tax these bonuses at a 90 percent or higher rate? Has Obama made a statement, “The buck stops here”?
