Burger King Exposed Video

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Supporters,

What would you do with an extra $18,000 in your pocket?

That's the amount of extra cash each and every Burger King employee in America would have received last year if Goldman Sachs (one of the fast-food chain's largest owners) had shared its bailout billions with rank-and-file workers. Instead, Goldman Sachs squandered 6.5 billion of our taxpayer dollars on bonuses for their financial staff. These were some of the highest bonuses on Wall Street! Meanwhile, Burger King workers earn wages averaging just $14,000 a year -- well below the federal poverty line for a family of three.

Goldman Sachs has been having it their way with Burger King workers for too long. It's high time you had it your way with Goldman Sachs. Tell the Wall Street giant how they could have used the $6.5 billion blown on bonuses. We're looking for the most creative, constructive, or comical ideas to curb corporate greed and help fix the financial crisis. We will send all ideas to Goldman Sachs as a reprimand for their wastefulness. The winner of the Have It Your Way with Goldman Sachs contest will have their idea featured in our next video. The contest ends March 3.

Pass this video and contest to your friends and family, and don't forget to digg it. Tell them working people all over the country are pushing back against Wall Street excess. Tell them we're joining with SEIU and others to stage demonstrations and hold Goldman Sachs accountable! And tell them it's time to end this era of corporate greed and impunity.

Yours,
Robert Greenwald
and the Brave New Films team

P.S. - Do you think Goldman Sachs should be forced to give back their bailout money to taxpayers, should they have to raise Burger King workers' wages, explain their spending to the government, or be left alone because they are living the American dream?

6. And thank YOU for not letting that rallying cry of the proudly misinformed to be forgotten.

The arrogant prick who uttered that phrase should never be allowed to forget how fucking wrong he was.

3. There should be a MAXIMUM wage and GS employees should

be limited to 10 times the lowest paid employee in any of their affiliated companies including BK. No extra benefits, no stock options, just an hourly wage limited to 40 hours at 10 times the lowest wage. What would BK employees make under those laws?

4. The sad thing is that $18,000 isn't really all that much but what a help

and a world a difference it could have made in the hands of the Burger King employees. As is, it probably bought a bathroom rug or some bauble. How many other stories do you think are out there like this one...just different companies?

5. over a years salary,

for most BK workers, I would think.
