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.

Nope, it’s called they will have computers operating fast food restaurants and customers will program the order on a touchscreen, then the computer will control all the equipment to fix the burgers, fries, and milkshakes. With increasing minimum wages, it will be cheaper to just have machines to do the work.
Get that frickin’ rag off your head, Bitch! You’re a freak. I never thought our legislators’ chambers would look like a Star Wars bar scene.
You mean they can BILL 40 hours a day...
I “lament” how many Jews and Christians killed by Islam.
Before I pay a jizzya, I will reek havoc on the closest Imams and followers.

$15/hour for an entry level job will not be a living wage, Dems..once you boost minium wage, the cost of living will increase. AO-C, since you are suppose to be an economic major, if Mr. Smith is making $16/an hour and John Doe, who is making $8/hour, if you raise John Doe's wage, then Mr. Smith will ask for an increase in his wages.
It’s an entry level job. No one in their right mind makes a career of “You want fries with that?”
My entry level was a chicken hatchery, then steel fabrication shops, then power plants.
She probably meant 40 hours a week but if they just make 7 thousand a year they should quit and go to mowing lawns or washing cars, or is that too much work.
$7K per year is $3.37 per hour. I wonder what year Omar thinks this is.
About $2.00 an hour in 1975, shortly after they introduced the Quarter Pounder for me. The paper hat and barber shirt days.
Taught me to work hard, deal with jerk managers, and realize I didn’t want to do this forever.
“Sharp as a bowling ball, she is.”
Inbreeding over centuries has that effect. Typical Somali IQ is around 65.
Is having a really low IQ now a requirement for holding a Congressional seat?
Is the 40hrs/day based on 7 or 9 days per week?
I wasn’t serious.
Sure wouldn’t be any of Omar’s Somali compatriots who demand and get paid time off for their five times daily prayers and every Muslim holiday.
Yep. I still remember, "You got time to lean, you got time to clean!"
To this day, I know enough that if I'm not busy, at least look like I'm busy.
McD's taught a lot of kids the fundamentals; show up on time, work as a team, be dependable, and every Thursday you'll get a paycheck.
We lost something when we took these jobs away from American teens and gave them to foreign adults.
It's what the globalist Free Traitors wanted, so they got it.
If she means 40 hours a week, $7k a year would be about $3.50 an hour before taxes. No one in this country makes $3.50 an hour.
And the top executive made $10.3 million with the rest in equity or other forms of payment.
Actually, your numbers are off. At $10 they would have a base salary of $20K and at time and a half over time, federally mandated, they would have for 10,400 hours less 2000 hours regular time they would have earned $126,000 plus regular time for $128,000 before taxes. The fed minimum is $7.25
Of course raising the minimum wage would hasten the automation of McDonald’s to replace the labor. More dangerous than the raising of the minimum wage was the law Obama signed that attacked franchising making all employees part of the corporation which would have really screwed them with taxes, healthcare and a bunch of other things but Trump stopped it from taking affect.
