Summary: The elites , and those pretending to be elite , love to sneer at the "big box" retail stores as much as the public loves to shop at them. The D.C. Council, not made up of elites, to be sure, is nevertheless expected to give final approval Wednesday to imposing a discriminatory $12.50 an hour "living wage" on large businesses, such as Wal-Mart. Other employers would still pay the $8.25 minimum.
