It’s right to be angry when the CEO gets 350 times the pay of the exhausted shift worker whose paycheck has stagnated for 10 years and is literally being priced out of housing.
Nobody un America should be working a 5 day week for Jeff Bezos and sleeping in a car.
Understand also— retirement benefits are deducted from wages. Pay that barely covers housing today guarantees homelessness for elderly who have worked all their lives.
But stealing isn’t the solution, nor is higher taxation and more government programs to pay for basic necessities—programs which mainly only benefit fatcat bureaucrats.
The solution is to organize a walkout within that workplace and demand a living wage.
It really comes down to simple arithmetic—
many of these corporations could pay ALL their workers twice or more their current wages & benefits, simply by reducing the CEO’s OBSCENE salaries, stock options, expense acts,, pensions, golden parachutes etc., yet those guys would STILL have more money than the GDP of several third world countries.
You sure you wouldn’t be happier over at DU??
Nobody is forcing anybody to work for these companies...they can always seek employment elsewhere. Thanks to Trump, things are better for the lowest-level employees than ever, and thanks to the freedom to innovate in the US, there are more successful SMALL companies than ever.
