First off, I hate that McDonalds is the focus of the issue today and wish it was a place like Wal-Mart.
People keep stating that McDonalds would have to raise prices to give it's employee's a raise. So I did a little math. McDonalds has around 1 million workers worldwide. McDonalds made $55billion in profit last year. So if McDonalds gave all of its workers a $5 raise, all 1 million of them, then McDonalds would have made $45billion in profit. Rough'in it.
What is it going to take for corporations that the workers are part of the team making those profits..
The CEO made 8.75 million in one year. Are you seriously suggesting he could have lived on, let's say, 7 million?

how do you minus 5 million from 55 billion and get 45 billion?
that's not up to you. maybe the ceo wants to buy a new yacht. He shouldn't need to sacrifice his enjoyment for some 15 year old burger flipper. Mcdonalds isn't meant to be a career.
The CEO made 8.75 million in one year. Are you seriously suggesting he could have lived on, let's say, 7 million? and the other execs could have given up a bit of their pay? Why, how could they afford the 5 homes, the 10 cars, the caviar, or whatever it is they spent their money on? They would have had to live on the streets! Starved to death! Forced to live on a McD's hamburger (if they could afford it when taking home 7 million, of course)
Oh, so much better to have their employees taking on a second job, using food stamps, using the ER, so the CEO and other top execs aren't forced - FORCED - to curtail their lifestyle!
{sigh}

ummmmmmmmmm.....it's not $5 pear year.....it's per hour.....See.....fast food workers get paid hourly.
"it's not up to you" (the people)..............up until the people unionize lol. And guess what we are talking about! Ding ding!
oh yeah. damn that's even worse.
do you not realize how easily replaceable these employees are?
I love the fact liberals have no clue on what a company makes. McDonalds worldwide profit was $5.5 billion, of which, based on store counts, at least half probably comes from outside the U.S.

I'm not a liberal but yea, I was preoccupied and I'm wrong. It was 5.5 and not 55.
I'll have to do new math. But the point will be the same.
I can't wait till robot burger flippers are invented. Pretty soon they'll be able to automate the whole thing. Then we can fire them all.
