Rep. Ilhan Omar (D.-Minn.) said in a Thursday morning hearing of the House Education and Labor Committee that the Chief Executive Officer of McDonalds gets paid $21.8 million a year while the median earnings for workers at the restaurant chain who put in 40 hours a day is $7,000 per year.
The hearing was examining the possibility of lifting the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour.
On Thursday evening, Omar tweeted out a video clip of her talking at the hearing about McDonalds workers who put in 40 hours a day.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D.-Mich.) then retweeted Omars tweet.

Do they have a minimum wage in her home town Mogadishu ?
When I worked at a fast food place as a college student, the manager made $7,000 a year. The owner would hire only males over 18 because they did not have to be paid the minimum wage. When I started, my hourly pay was less than half the minimum wage (but we were expected to get enough tips to bring us up to about the minimum wage).
40 hours a day?
Their rich!
I wish had 40 hours a day...
Good job Minneapolis. You voted in another imbecile.
Somebody working full time in Minnesota is going to earn $20K per year. Her math is a bit off.

It is not median pay when you calculate part time from full time.
A full time worker at a mere 40 hours a week would earn $15k’ish
She failed to mention the worst part - they are working those 40 hours 8 days a week!
Dont blame me. I am in the American part of Minnesota.
Every Somali in America had the red carpet rolled out by the Clinton, GWB, and Obama Administrations. We were throwing visas at them. They're all legal.
Is this the idiot elected in MN or MI?

When the Navy first put me in the Washington DC area in 1962 it was considered a ‘bad place’ to be, being ‘ground zero’ - the center of government and all.
After getting out and staying in the region, now at the furthest from DC - about 50 miles, with the crop of idiots as representatives etc, I feel the ‘center of government’ is the safest place to be as no enemy who wanted to win, would wipe these clowns out.
McDonalds is an entry level job, for kids in high school. It is not a career job. This is hard for Democrats to understand reality
these leftards are morons
Their plan for $15 an hour doesnt seem to have any relationship with the CEOs salary. Theyre not suggesting his salary be reduced in exchange for $15 an hour.
They tell us the Arabs invented mathematics and astronomy. Yeah...like the Russians invented baseball.
The math is absurdly simple. The average worker puts in about 2,000 hours year. So when someone tells you $11/hour, you only need about five neurons to estimate $22,000 per year.
Someone should loan these two misanthropes a few neurons.
Congressmen who marry their brother believe in 40 hour days.
I think the socialist left has gone FULL RETARD.
What bunch of Id10T’s Elected these Rag Heads?
While it is easy to blame the public schools - think about this - the average IQ of many of the kids from urban areas is around 80. That's more than 1 standard deviation below the mean. These kids are not going to learn algebra or English.
