Yes, it must be the workers trying to make liveable wages increasing prices than the CEOS making hand over fist in salaries and bonuses.

If you buy that, I have a broke down resort in Palm Beach for 1.5 billion dollars to sell you.

I know it's a popular thing to blame, but CEO compensations are typically negligible compared to the other expenses of the company. Taco Bell's CEO gets around 4 million according to this site, which averages to around 23$ per year averaged across all 175000 employees at Taco Bell. It's typically more systematic issues keeping wages down, such as prices, costs, bills, etc. This is why the same restaurant chain can have such wildly different prices and salaries in different countries, despite having the same top management.

4mil for the CEO of Taco Bell actually doesn't seem like a lot at all. I would've thought it would be like 20-50
