What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works, huh?

@rbreich So, it is really about values, right? What do we really value in this country? Do we value a man that works hard doing his 9 - 5? Or do we really value the CEO with his country clubs, yachts, and private planes?

I would argue that skilled workers are like diamonds. Rare. On the other hand, CEOs are simply guys (they are mostly guys) who got into the right rooms.
