Rule #1 Get people emotionally worked up over something, and all logic goes out the window.
The CEO of McDonald's makes $13.8 million per year up from $4.1 million. That's a difference of $9.1 million.
McDonald's employs 400,000 workers at a median wage of $7.73 an hour. Although it's not accurate let us assume they work 40 hours per week. If McDonald's were to raise their employees pay to $15 an hour, the yearly cost of that raise would be over $6 billion. Although the real number they say closer to $4.5 billion.
$9.1 million doesn't make a big difference. $4.5 billion sure as fuck does.
