And we do want to do that...don't we? After all the American CEO is just sooooo much smarter than the average American dumb worker - which is why they outsourced millions of good paying American jobs, to justify their multi-million dollar salaries - they just had to do it!
'McDonald's gave a $9 million dollar raise recently to their new CEO.
McDonald's can't afford paying their workers enough to climb out of poverty but just happened to find $9 million lying around to give to their CEO.
Worker's wages stagnate but for some reason CEO salaries go through the roof. No one who works full time should be poor.
yet these CEO's then proceed to lecture us about being lazy and how they can't afford raises this year, maybe next year, and the stock markets rise and the CEO salaries rise but the rest of us will just have to wait.
But the CEO never has to wait. He always gets his raise. Always.'
Chief executives of the nation's largest companies earned an average of $12.3 million in total pay last year -- 354 times more than a typical American worker, according to the AFL-CIO.
Let me know when the burger flipper, who can hardly get the order correct, can run a multi billion dollar business with over 34k stores in 120+ countries.
Thread failure.. McDonalds is a franchse.. To claim the franchisor is making good money, thus the franchees can pay x is one of the most ignorant threads I've seen in my life..
hey OP, Warren Buffet has made how many tens of billions since Obama was sworn into office, why arent you comparing the networth of a DQ employee to Warren Buffets and then suggesting we should redistribute his wealth accordingly?

And these large corporations could raise their workers wages with no negative side effects. Walmart for example could give its low level workers a $5.83 raise, and those workers would make $25,000 a year, and Walmart would not have to raise its prices. Walmart Can Afford To Pay All Workers $25,000 Without Raising Prices | ThinkProgress
Problem is many large corporations consider their workers to be a unit (not a person.) A worker to them is a figure on a piece of paper, something that can be moved to an Asian factory to increase profits, ex.ex.
Perhaps one of the reasons this happens is because CEO's have a 4x greater chance of being a psychopath than the average person. Some of the traits of a psychopath are "the lack of ability to love, callousness, and lack of emotion."
But not all CEO's are bad people, and many CEO's (truly) respect their workers.
