Response to your speech the other day about McDonald's workers.

Without the workers, the CEO of McDonald's would have nothing. The CEO of McDonald's currently makes about 9,200 dollars an hour. The CEO made 8.75 million dollars last year and you're telling me that it would be a crime for the workers to get paid more? As if the company can't afford to provide them with good pay. You say it's not fair to take money from people who have earned it. Sure I agree. However there are some people in this world who really didn't earn their money. Mitt Romney for instance. Did he really earn all the money he has? No, I don't think so. Mitt Romney is a terrible person who does nothing worthy of acquiring all the money that he has. Mitt Romney installed a $43,000 dollar car elevator in his home. The money that paid for that probably isn't even legal. What does Mitt Romney really do? Does he do some heavy labor? I don't think so. He lies, and he cheats, and he deceives people and he can do that because politicians are corrupt they can get away with it. Then you have people like my mother. My mother went to college to become a chef. She achieved that goal and was a chef for a while. Then she had children and had to give that up. She went to college a second time because she needed a good job to take care of the 4 kids she was raising as a single mother. No one in my family will argue that mother doesn't work harder than anyone. She's gone through bankruptcy and a lot of scares because she didn't have enough money. Going to college twice just barely got her a job that could get us by. With how hard she works, she should be making what Mitt Romney makes. But the world doesn't work that way. I grew up in a house where foodstamps are what kept us fed. There's nothing wrong with that. However I've seen the proof that it's really difficult to "just get a better paying job" as you said. I'm not trying to start any political arguments or anything. I can't even confirm my suspicions that your speech was politically based. I feel as though it is though because I know enough about politics to realize that you're a Republican. Which is totally fine. I'm just saying that I don't think it's really all that easy to just get a better paying job. CEOs and politicians are almost the same. They are dishonest and they 9/10 times do not deserve the position they're at. My dad works with a security company, and he works really hard too. He's probably the most honest and selfless person I know. He's a strong leader, and because of that he's actually climbing the ranks of the company pretty quickly. He's soon to be captain actually. However he's really not making that much money. With all the expenses he has to pay, which he doesn't mind paying, he's lucky if he gets to keep 40 dollars to himself with every paycheck. I believe that the McDonald's workers should get paid more. A lot of them deserve it. It's not even just the basic restaurant workers either. Even sales associates aren't making much more than what the regular crew members are making. Sure it's wrong to just take money from people who have really earned it. However most of the people making 9 million dollars a year are not earning it. I don't know I just got kind of bothered by that whole talk. Nothing against you as a teacher but I would kinda just appreciate it if we could maybe not discuss things involving politics during class.
