- Never take economic advice from someone who has never had a job (Karl Marx, Bernie Sanders, HRC, etc.).
- A "populist" is a politician who tries to make political hay by promoting envy of one "class" by another. It goes without saying that Sanders is a populist.
- In these days, there need be no correlation between productivity and income. The greatest productivity gains have nothing to do with the skill or effort of the workers, but rather technological advancements in their tools.
- There is nothing wrong with advocating a 32-hour work week, as long as compensation follows the economic value of the workers. But if the 3-day weekend is the goal, four tens is the more logical path to follow.
- Congress has no Constitutional power or authority to dictate the work week. It's only relevant power is the power to "regulate commerce...among the several States," which has nothing to do with compensation or the work-week.
