9 Reasons Why Raising the Minimum Wage Is a Terrible Idea

[2300]

So raising the minimum wage will cause inflation...

The CEO of McDonalds tripled his own salary recently, to $14 million.  The price of a Big Mac did not go up a dime. 

Huh.

Always extra money for the CEOs but none for the workers.  Limit CEO pay to say 50 times what the average worker salary is in the company.

Bakes, do some math here.  When figuring this include the number of McD's in the USA  X  the number of McD's line employees  X  the average hours of each of these employees  X
 the hourly pay increase you want for them and please tell us how it compares with $14 million.  TIA.

A better system for determining pay is edict by  an anonymous poster on a racing site?     

NEWS FLASH!!!   What Mickey Don's pay's it's CEO is not the business of someone named bakes.....or Utica Mike ......or Jesus H Christ for that matter.  The people that own the company (shareholders) can determine that. It's called the free market.  Also..if it bothers you enough you can drive on by the arches and go see the King or his friend Wendy if it suits you. That's also a free market exercise.
