Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who knows a thing or two about moral outrages because she has committed several herself, recently <a href="https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1189299188695273473">proclaimed</a> moral outrage about the fact that Walmart&#8217;s CEO earns a considerably larger income than those of Walmart cashiers. She was reacting to a CNBC report on so-called &#8220;income inequality&#8221; that alleges it would take the average employee at a corporation 100 years to make what his CEO makes annually. To drive this point home, Omar selected the example of Walmart, claiming that the median pay for a Walmart worker is about $22,000, while Walmart&#8217;s CEO Doug McMillon takes home almost $23,000,000. There are a lot of problems here, so let&#8217;s go through this piece by piece.
First of all, it would only take an employee 100 years to earn his CEO&#8217;s salary if the employee remained in the same position, earning the same pay, for a century. I will try to be delicate when I say this, but if you haven&#8217;t gotten a raise in 100 years, it&#8217;s probably because you really suck at your job. Though I am impressed that you&#8217;re still working at such an advanced age. My point here is not merely sarcastic. This is important to stipulate: A person making 20 grand a year doesn&#8217;t have to remain at that level forever. And if he has any skill and ambition to speak of, he probably won&#8217;t. Which brings us to Omar&#8217;s point about Doug McMillon.
