said by kontos:I can agree with that statement. So, what is the perfect minimum wage in your opinion.
Here's one calculation I'd put in.
Unless a CEO actually created an idea or a device or a company, no CEO should be getting more than the total salaries of 500 workers (five hundred workers!) at the bottom.
I have no problem with Bill Gates or the Google guys or even the Facebook creator(s) making shitloads of money.
But the guy who is the current CEO of McDonalds just fell into a lucky break, like finding a magic lamp. He did NOT create the hamburger or even the sesame seed bun.
So:
According to Forbes, that CEO made 20,710,000 last year.
Divide that by 500 workers (we're STILL paying the CEO the total of 500 other guys!!) and that's 41,420 per worker.
Divide that by 2,000 hours worked per year, that's 20.71 per hour....
....and YES, I agree, that's TOO high.
BUT:
That means that McDonald's CEO is getting 10,355.00 PER HOUR (over ten thousand dollars an hour!) and THAT is obscene.
