MCD is up around 172% since the end of the Great Recession. Investors risked nothing during the past 10 years. MCD also bought back over $20 billion in just two years, thus depriving their workers of wage increases and passing the wealth created by them to non-workers (investors). While it's possible a company may go bankrupt it's not likely or in most cases, investors have a lot of time to get out if they choose. The risk investors take is not the same as work. Work is hard. The risk is not. As an investor, I know how the system works so don't pretend to inform me. We get the money others make, then we whine if they get social programs so they can buy groceries. Then on top of that, we want corporations to get tax cuts, create massive new debt and force future generations to pay for what we spent and got from the government. There's nothing capitalistic about begging the government to borrow money and giving it to us. There's nothing capitalistic about the government subsidizing low wages.
