No person goes and decides what wages should be. CEOs do not dictate anything about wages, in any company or any industry.
Where there is high demand for hard work, even where lots are willing to do it but not all can, wages go sky-high. Example: Roughnecks.
Where there is a high demand for work but anybody can do the job, the labour comes cheaper. Example: Wal-mart.

You disagree with my position, I can appreciate that. However to say what I'm saying is absurd is merely your opinion, so thanks for your input.
I'm assuming your claim that I think everyone should be paid a lot of money regardless of their skillset is based on my position that the minimum wage should be raised? You are simply basing your statement on your opinion. I do believe workers should be fairly compensated for their contributions and not be kept in poverty if they are working full time, but if you consider $15/hour a lot of money maybe you should try living off that wage and see what that kind of life looks like.
No one should dictate what wages should be? You clearly have an opinion on what they shouldn't be, do you feel as though no one has the right to disagree with you on this?
