OF COURSE: Bernie Sanders Wants $15 Minimum Wage But Guess How Much He Pays His Interns

[Thunderbird]

Liberals are cheap bastards and will try to get over on you at every opportunity. All the sharing the wealth crap is for others, because they are special.

Exactly: Hillary Clinton Foundation Reportedly Pays Women Less Than Men

So you can't dispute the facts about Bernie, so you bring up a straw man.

So you can't dispute the facts about Hillary?

U.S. Congress

Internships are available in many Members’ Washington, DC, and district or state offices, as well
as in congressional committees’ offices. Internships are generally unpaid and offered year-round.

BERNIE'S interns for his VT & DC offices actually get paid $12 an hour MORE than they normally would.

Golly, yes, $12 an hour is $12 an hour more than nothing. Who knew? Why isn't he putting his money where his mouth is?

Your reading comp sucks. Bernie has NO CONTROL over what - if anything - his interns are paid.

Is he handcuffed or something? What prevents Sanders from paying these interns a living wage? Would it be illegal?

He has to follow the standards the OPM sets forth.

And it would be illegal for him to pay them more?

Quiet, nutbar. Most interns don't get paid at all. these are students, not people raising a family.

now crawl back to your mommy and daddy's basement.

Minimum wage earners aren't supposed to be trying to raise families either. But explain how it's not possible to pay them whatever Bernie wants? I don't get it.

Liar, he can write anyone a check he wants to. No law against it.

Actually he cannot. Working for him in a Governmental capacity is not the same as the private sector.

LOL... next.

Well, what's next is you backing up your claims. I'll wait.

Is Bernie Sanders a business? Are people that are working for him expecting to make a career of it and raise a family? What a stupid ass topic.

I don't think you understand the conversation. Burger flippers aren't supposed to be raising families but the socialist cry is that all workers need to make $15 minimum. Bernie doesn't practice what he preaches and lefty lies can't hide it.

 

[Fang]

LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You silly fool- Bernie has NO control whether an intern gets paid, or how much. If you follow that bouncing ball-
that $12 an hr internship position is to work for his Senatorial position NOT his campaign.

Any pay scale for such an Governmental internship is set thru the OPM (office of personal management) & not thru any SENATOR or REP.

Soooooo..... let's sum up your very biased, & misleading thread.....
Not only does an intern generally get paid nothing, zilch, zero,...NADA.....

BERNIE'S interns for his VT & DC offices actually get paid $12 an hour MORE than they normally would.

whew! I know I feel better about what the truth really is... FACTS are great, aren't they?

We all like to think of interns as college students gaining valuable experience just happy to have a job in their field. But that's not always the case. The last few interns I met in my field took the job praying it would lead to a decent wage. They didn't want to work at McDonald's, and they didn't want to stock shelves somewhere in a dead end job. So sorry, nice try and nice post, but if Bernie is going to run on paying a decent wage he needs to lead by example. Otherwise, it's just another bullet point in hypocrisy for liberals. And please, don't play the famous and overused line of "he has no control over his office".

how does anyone vote for these people/hypocrites in that party of liars and of nothing but class warfare.

Bernie Sanders is running around the country demanding a $15 minimum wage. Surely he pays his employees as much as he’s demanding other employers should, right?

Wrong. See the tweets below, via Twitchy:

Really? There is a budget set forth for expenditures. No government agency or department can spend more than what they allotted. In case you didn't realize it... but Bernie, or any other Senator or Rep aren't 'bosses' that can pay based on what they bring in from day to day or month to month. Everything is set forth from base pay to 'locality' pay... & that comes from the OPM.

I am not a Hillary fan, & start a thread if you want about her. But you can at least use reputable & unbiased links, so there wouldn't be any doubt.

Now you are trying to justify the mistreatment of Sanders' workers. You seem to think they should be grateful for getting paid at all! Why are you so contemptible?

Go crawl back under the rock you live under you elitist scum!

Interns get paid?

$12 for an internship is pretty good considering Chris Christie isn't paying his interns anything. I checked the Ted Cruz and Rand Paul web sites and they are not listing pay for internship either.

The Chris Christie for President Campaign is seeking motivated, dedicated, organized, and responsible individuals who are interested in working with political operatives to learn the “ins and outs” of a Presidential level Campaign.

As part of the internship program, you will gain valuable insight into the every day functions of a Presidential Campaign. Working alongside our core staff members, you’ll develop extremely valuable Presidential level political skills, and learn how to apply them to any level of the political sphere.

Please send a resume and cover letter, along with availability and which area of campaigning interests you, to: Michael Celler at mceller@chrischristie.com Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so please apply today! We look forward to hearing from you. Note: this is an unpaid internship.

No because I live in reality. Only retards think a starting wage is good to go for a family.

So he can't pay the help because the government won't let him? I'm still waiting for you to support that.

They aren't running on the socialist ticket, where did you get lost? Bernie is the one that's the socialist, running on $15/hr for workers. What somebody else does or doesn't do won't make his hypocrisy disappear.

Ted cruz's site says nothing about pay for internships.

Interns are responsible for their own housing, food and transportation.

Ice, I agree with you to a point. The reality is that just because you and I would not do it does not mean that isn't what has been happening or will happen. We can't just make this claim because we don't like it.
