We arent talking about a $.25 cent raise, are we?

Hint $10 - current minimum wage = ?

btw, the fact that their CEO is well paid, isnt because profit margins are so low, its because sales are high.. Learn the difference

Your link demonstrates a healthy profit margin which, I am sure, would be even higher if they did not pay extremely huge salaries to executive management.

The salary of the CEO cuts into profit margins just as the wage of employees.

A $7.50 minimum wage is probably not unreasonable. It may still be above true fair market value, but the effects would not be horrific on jobs.

The exorbitant salary of a CEO comes out of the profit margin, does it not? The same profit margin that the wage of employees comes out of?

Anything below $12 an hour in the United States is unreasonable.

it sure does.. The difference of couse is the CEO's salary isnt subsidized by the taxpayers by way of government funded health insurance and welfare, and so many other programs left wing kooks celebrate.
