Yawn. Imagine that they can give that POS TWENTY FIVE MILLION and didn't have to raise a price on a single item yet they supposedly CAN'T do the same thing for the workers that sell,make,transport,stock their crap products.....Its another reason I DESPISE rich pieces of **** and I relish in the fact when one gets taken out....or their house burns to the ground or something happens to their family...they deserve it.
I turned down a CEO job because it interfered with my bowling league.
Yeah...me too.

Business is major cut throat. That is why there is the phrase, "nothing personal, it is just business".
dont forget that the CEO does not set their compensation, the board of directors does that. teh CEO can either sign or not sign the contract. so instead of jumping all over the CEO, go after the board of directors instead.
as for the burger flippers, if they can get their pay raised, go for it. but burger flipping does pay much because it is an entry level job that requires few skills, so why should they get paid a large salary?
Hillary Clinton on that exact same Board Of Directors of Walmart for years. This is back when she was also legal counsel as they made sure their employees couldn't unionize. Don't worry though, she's gonna fight for the Middle Class & hold the corporations accountable.
There are 2.1 million Walmart employees. If they work on average 1219 hours a year the CEO could forego his compensation so all other Walmart employees could make an extra penny an hour.
Maybe you should take YOUR massive paycheck and donate all to something and tell us next year how that went.
Which is the same thing most wealthy people should say to those suggesting they should donate their after tax money after all the time, money, and risks in life they spent making it.

I own several small businesses. And I believe business is about providing outstanding service and products, respecting your workers as the backbone of the business, paying workers as much as you can, and also acquiring the things you need to survive. Business does not need to be about cutting throats and hurting people and then saying "its nothing personal."
And the thing I don't understand is why you republicans dedicate your lives to fighting for large corporations and CEO's (instead of workers/yourselves.)
You supported GW Bush's tax cuts giving the lowest earning 20% of American workers 1% of the tax cuts, and giving the richest 1% of Americans 52% of the tax cuts. Bush Tax Cuts After 2002: June 2002 CTJ Analysis
If you are a CEO or in the top 5% of income earners I can respect you for supporting republicans (because you get something out of it.)
But if your not why would you support republicans and supply side/trickle down economics (that does not give you crap and instead gives the money to the rich.)

LMAO. "making" it off the backs and labor of people they pay min wage while they sit in their ivory towers or on vacation in some foreign country or in one of their 3 or 4 vacation homes. No sympathy just absolute contempt.
