Living Wage Bernie Pays His Employees $12/hr

[Muhammed]

Who should we vote for? Should we vote for a man who pays his interns $0, or Bernie Sanders who pays above min wage? lol

The former.

That's $12 more an hour than what Ted Cruz pays his interns, and your title is misleading. You need to change the word "employees" to "interns."

If they draw a salary they are employees.

Some interns get paid, doofus.

Here's the real title to the article in the idiots OP.

Bernie “living wage” Sanders pays his interns only $12 an hour

If they get a salary, they are paying federal withholding and the whole nine yards. That's an employee. I don't know why he has to pay them when others apparently don't, you'd have to ask around.

He doesn't "have" to pay them. He's choosing to.

Sounds like an assumption. But why not $15/hr since that's the mantra? Is he not down with the struggle?

Does that mean the Republican manta is to pay zero?

 

[Weatherman2020]

Hilarious watching the Bernieites doing wild gymnastics making excuses why people shouldn't be paid a living wage.

 

[Arianrhod]

It's really amazing how desperate you guys are to find a "scandal" to pin on Sanders.

It's really amazing how desperate you are to avoid the subject matter.

So what do you think about the fact that Sanders pays his interns $12 an hour more than Cruz does?

And the top of the pyramid gets to keep it all...

Not in this thread. Only an idiot who doesn't know that "intern" is generally an unpaid temporary position would believe so.

It's not my problem that you don't understand what the word "intern" means.

Nice side step but salaried people are employees in this country and $15/hr is the big push from the left wing.

Gawd, you don't even know the difference between a salary and an hourly wage -!

 

[NYcarbineer]

12 bucks an hour is is 4.75 above the national minimum wage.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

He obviously didnt mind paying his family members....he paid his wife 45k a year and his step daughter 32k a year.
All paid for out of his congressional campaign money of course.

15 is the bargaining chip to get 11, or 12, or 13...

And that is somehow unique?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Bernie is starting to scare them...

 

[CrusaderFrank]

So typical of every leftist who rants about wages and taxing the rich. They pay their employees low wages and take every tax cut they can get.

Five Feet of Fury – Kathy Shaidle – Bernie “living wage” Sanders pays his interns only $12 an hour

Pretty sure Bernie meant everyone ELSE should pay a living wage.

Some animals are more equal, remember?

I thought Colonel Sanders was supposed to be above that sort of thing?

So what?

Why can't he hire whomever he wants for his campaign?

He's the only cheapskate to have one more pair of undies than I would spend money on...

Hilarious watching them do gymnastics spinning for Bernie "do as I say not as I do" Sanders.
