loquitur, I'd like to add to that. I don't think a great number of minimum-wage jobs (or otherwise low-paying jobs) make up a sizeable proportion of the workforce of many large corporations where we'd find these wealthy CEOs. I'm under the impression that many minimum-wage jobs are found in small companies, many of them private. Think small retail, restaurants, etc. If I were working at a large company with a CEO worth millions, I'd expect a bit more than the minimum wage, especially if I were working at corporate head office.
