Bernie Sanders challenges Walmart CEO on worker wage disparity

· media → x.com #politics #finance #america

Chris Pacia 13 hrs I know math is hard for socialists but let's just walk through this. $11,000/hr is $22,880,000 assuming 40 hrs a week. Redistribute that to the 2,300,000 Walmart employees and you get a whopping $9.94 per employee PER YEAR. With the CEO working for free. Ok so maybe we're not going to get to $15/hr by stealing from the CEO, but maybe we can get there by expropriating the shareholders. Walmart had a net income of $9,862,000,000 last year. Redistribute that to the 2,300,000 employees and you get about $2/hr. Still not enough to have cashiers making $15/hr. And of course if investors knew you would expropriate them in this way they wouldn't have put up the money to build Walmart and it literally would not exist. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders Follow Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon made about $11,000/hour in compensation last year. I'd like to hear from him why he thinks his workers don't deserve to be paid a living wage of $15/hour. 1:20 PM - 14 Jul 2018 8,769 Retweets 32,257 Likes
