ceo of mcdonald's, the pay gap between him and what his workers make has more than doubled. this is why these workers have rates, this is why they're out there and you also have mcdonald being one of the leading people lobbying against raising the minimum wage when if we did more people would have more money in their pocket to go and get the big mac and fridays. >> brenda: john. >> i'd like to get 100 million like tony romo makes and one less playoff. and gary b is right, they have a right to ask for more money. if they're making $9, making what puts them in poverty and we have 60 million in poverty and that has to be addressed. because of the problems in washington d.c., not mcdonald's, this is not being addressed. >> brenda: is this about the unions trying to raise their membership? it's been declining for decades. >> of course it's a great stunt and they do it in new york city where expenses are very high, but look it, two things, number one, these are actually unskilled workers. there's not a lot of skill to turn the burger or push the cash register, i'm sorry i hate to
