Trump says is great. Walker says is great. Corporations say is great....

When "averaging" the pay at $53,000, I am sure they are averaging the CEO $25 million with the workers $11.00/hr. (or whatever it is). Because, heck, not many people WI would turn down $53,000.
Sounds great.

Then, of course, there is the likelihood that it would happen at all. I bet when it collapsed in PA, the CEO still got their shit... ooops , pay...
