Bernie Sanders single-handedly exposes the Democrats’ minimum wage fraud

25

Perhaps the economically illiterate Sanders will now understand that if the government imposes a $15 an hour wage on businesses, they will simply layoff their employees to recover their losses.

Gd help America if this idiot is elected POTUS. Almost every idea that comes from Bernie Sanders is dumb. Really dumb!

Bernie Sanders single-handedly exposes the Democrats’ minimum wage fraud

Story continues below advertisement

Nate Madden, Conservative Review, July 22, 2019:

Bernie Sanders has some well-earned egg on his face after he cut campaign employees’ hours in order to meet their demands for a $15 an hour wage.

The move isn’t surprising to anyone with a basic grasp of how economics works. Mandating a higher wage doesn’t mean that the resources to pay for it are magically going to appear. It’s the same reason why the Congressional Budget Office predicted that the recent $15 minimum wage bill passed by the House could kill almost 4 million jobs. (It also might just be why a 2017 report found that pro-wage-hike politicians still like using unpaid intern labor.)

But this debate isn’t just theoretical or contained to Washington, D.C.; jacked-up forced minimum wages have cost people their jobs all over the country in recent years. Here’s just a small sample of the mountain of evidence that could have saved Sanders from this latest embarrassment:

No problemo! The Sanders administration will provide vastly more in the way of a financial support network- aka “welfare”- to all residents, including the undocumented, so there won’t be any problem.

All hail the Sanders Plan! Ain’t socialism swell?

HIS PLAN WILL FAIL, AS WILL THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENCY. Their plans are built on SAND. And, if you know HISTORY, even if you institute any kind of Socialism, it will eventually turn into Communism or worse. Social programs (misplaced compassion) are one thing. FULL-BLOWN SOCIALISM is another.

A country who is primarily Christian, Biblical, and/or righteous as a whole, will never turn to communism. We know too much about what Communism has done to the world and its people to ever allow it again. However, something subservient to THAT, a ruse of sorts could be instituted AFTER Trump’s term in office. I hope not, but I believe the Bible when it tells what is going to happen with the world as a whole and I hope I am not here when that happens. But, if I am, I will still fight on!

Apparently those who have voted for Sanders time and time again do not see the evil of communism when it stares them in the face. They only see “what’s in it for me” and “who can give it”.

There are more of these people now than ever before. A nation whose God is the Lord will not choose evil over good.

And WHO are you again?

I do recognize sarcasm, which I think is what you were saying in the message above. I don’t like to hint at anything……..I like to go straight to the point. Bernie will drop out soon enough and the Dems will fail because every one of their Cant-i-dates have no promising and/or Constitutional platforms. GIVING AWAY THE ‘STORE’ (other people’s money), IS NOT A PLATFORM. IT IS INSANITY.

However, securing our borders, reducing our Federal deficit, continuing prosperity, and putting our own interests in America ahead of other countries, IS A SOLID PLATFORM because they are all based on our Constitution. TRUMP HAS MANAGED TO RUN ON THOSE AND WIN.

If the Dems are smart, which I doubt ANY of them are, they will learn that, but I doubt that will happen. They are all caught up in THEMSELVES, HOW THEY WILL WIN even if it means LYING TO AMERICANS, and they are so puffed up with their egos, none of them will win anything substantial. Biden may take the nomination, but that is all the further he will go.

TRUMP HAS PROVEN HIS WORTH FOR WE, THE PEOPLE. It will be very hard to beat that.

THERE ARE NO LINES HERE THAT YOU HAVE TO READ BETWEEN.

Did the “honest” gentleman hint as to who is going to pay for all of this? Usually in Marxist revolutions the rich move to their overseas assets and lose little. The middle class being patriots lose all land and businesses and die fighting, while the working class being patriots also die fighting while those left are stripped of and land and money they once had and are massacred as “enemies of the state” if they object. I would have hoped that those in the USA are not stupid enough to fall for this but now I am not so sure.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. When the MSM is on the side of unrighteousness, that is all you will hear and see. Believe me when I say this: GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL. TRUMP WILL BE RE-ELECTED AND THE LEFT WILL SCREAM EVEN LOUDER.

WE, THE PEOPLE need to pray and get involved in the next year in any way that you can to help good and Conservative/Constitutional people. If any liberal tries to bully ME, they won’t know what hit them (not WITH violence, but with TRUTH). I am not easily swayed, especially with liberals. They don’t have the truth behind them. They have half-truths that they try to pass as truth and THAT is always the downfall of unrighteous people eventually. Bernie is just one of them who will fall because of his false rhetoric. Most politicians don’t believe their lies will catch up to them. IT ALWAYS DOES.

The Bible says to have an answer for any man who asks. THAT IS IN EVERYTHING WORTH KNOWING, including about politicians, issues, and the Bible. If you don’t know who you are voting for, then you have no business voting. And THAT knowing means doing your own research, knowing their HISTORY, not just believing their rhetoric. Sometimes, it is tedious, but it is well worth it. THAT IS HOW OUR OHIO GOVERNOR GOT ELECTED. Ohioans rallied around him, learned about him, and got him elected over all the odds against us! Of course, it helped that Trump came into Cleveland to support him!

tsk, tsk…….WE ARE WINNING when the truth comes out about those who hate America!

When we pray for our nation, GOD WILL HEAR THOSE PRAYERS and will move accordingly. I pray for Trump and America(ns) every day and I have seen my prayers answered IN MANY WAYS (If you don’t EXPECT an answer from God, then don’t bother to pray!). Trump became President against all odds. THAT IS ANSWERED PRAYER no matter what anyone says otherwise.

PRAYER DOES CHANGE THINGS. Now, keep it up Christians. PRAY FOR TRUMP, HIS FAMILY, HIS ADMINISTRATION, OUR BORDER, AND FOR AMERICANS ESPECIALLY, to come around to the RIGHT side of things!

You must forgive me. I just find proselytising insulting from anyone, be it the religion of atheism or theism or deism as it always implies a total lack of thought about theology on behalf of the recipient/target. Having read most of the available Dead Sea scroll translations as well as those from Nag Hammadi and the deliberately ignored gospels that the “church” tried so hard to destroy(some 28 attempted but unsuccessful with at least half) I have a rather different view of the man JoN than many. Yes it is worth fighting for and it may well be to the death. I will leave it there as I have been “over the Ruhr”(metaphorically) several times today already.

Well, let’s see…..Jesus told those who love Him to go out into the world and preach the Gospel, which is their 1ST SERVICE to Him, so if you don’t like that, then maybe you should be telling HIM this, but I do understand where you are coming from. I SAID EXACTLY THE SAME THING 30 YEARS AGO. Proselytizing is a man-made word that has a negative connotation. I prefer SHARING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST. If that offends you, it just tells me what condition your soul is in and any more than that is NOT up to me. We all have a choice, except for those of us who are told they don’t have a choice by those who are hypocrites and would fight to be heard themselves, right?

Oh believe me, anytime someone shares the good news about Jesus, they already know that person’s ‘soul condition’ and it is out of love and compassion that they try to give them HOPE about how that condition can be changed, not by force, BUT BY CHOICE. I never force anything on anyone, but I will tell you this, my heart grieves for anyone and I mean ANYONE who is close-minded enough to reject the very God who made them, who died for them, who is preparing a place in Heaven for them JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES THEM. Trying to stop anyone from sharing THAT already reveals the condition of their lost soul.

IT IS NOT HOW MUCH YOU ARE KNOW or HOW MUCH EDUCATION YOU HAVE, BUT HOW YOU PUT THAT KNOWLEDGE TO GOOD USE THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

Good and righteousness started and will end with GOD. HE CREATED YOU, THE UNIVERSE, AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

Bad and evil started and will end with Satan, who tries to destroy YOU, and anything else God has created.

There are ONLY 2 choices from the above.

Being in the middle just means you are already in the 2nd category.

No one will ever be able to hide or escape death and you will never know exactly when your death will occur.

Me, I am smart enough to know where my future is and will be after death.

Maranatha!

Well I certainly deserved that. My faith is unshakable and I wont bother you with it and I never resent anyone’s faith provided they leave it at home. But the fact that we are all here together is living proof that some do not and the damage thus done has caused and will cause many wars and many deaths. If this is what any god wishes, you are welcome to him or her. I will not sit still as a pacifist while some pious muslim scumbag saws off my head in the name of his pathetic god. By all means believe but keep it to yourself and it becomes toxic very quickly. BTW knowledge has SFA to do with education and ignorance is not just the realm of the stupid.

One of the few surviving SonderKommando related post war that he was collecting clothes from the “changing rooms” and overheard a rabbi who had been saying that he could not believe what he had heard about the gas chambers and yet here he was undressed to enter a shower in a KL. The SK were given the job of looking under the clothing ofr hidden young children as the sight of SS doing it upset the victims and caused riots. One of them found a child and the door about to be closed was re-opened by an SS guard who just threw the child in as they were all there already. At this multiple cries broke out and the SK distinctly heard the rabbi say: “If god allows this then there is no god” I cannot remember the literary source as I was quite young when I read this. I really do not care if anyone believes me or not as it had done its edifying work on me long ago.

I’m sorry but you’re literally crazy.

$20/he should be the minimum wage universally. How DARE you disadvantage ANY honest worker! If that job exists, it does so because it is an ESSENTIAL service to their community and it needs to be done right! A McDonald’s worker, for instance, exists becy people patronize their establishment! How DARE you all use their products and INTENTIONALLY economically disadvantage the people who serve you?!!!

I have been self employed 32 years with multiple businesses! If I disadvantaged my employees economically, they’d LEAVE!

How can anyone look upon another human being providing an essential service faithfully to others and pull this kind of autocratic arrogance!

If you eat there, pay enough to give those employees a decent life!

If you buy anything from Walmart, ditto!

As for the owners of these companies, do you REALLY think with how overwhelmingly wealthy they that they actually DESERVE it while the rest of us taxpayers supplement their incomes to give them a minimum of human decency despite those incredibly rich owners having 20,000x the wealth they deserve?!!!

Economists don’t agree with raising the minimum wage because their SELFISH, GREEDY, INCOMPETENT managers will take advantage of us, not because they couldn’t afford to operate based on the cost of wages!

Mismanagement is responsible for all of this, not economic necessity!

So sick of A**H***S thinking they know economic development realities!

Who the hell do you think you are putting some people into a lifetime of dependency on taxpayer assistance!

You pay for their wages one way or another! Smarten up!!!

For the person who just removed his response…

Your taxes pay their living costs, bringing their lifestyle up to a minimum standard. So you pay that living wage one way or another.

And mismanagement is the only reason that wages would ever be lower.

Lastly, we are essentially giving out corporate welfare by allowing less than a full living wage as the only people benefitting from low paid employees are the excessively wealthy like the owners of big businesses who are multibillionaires thanks to taxpayers paying the rest of their employees’ living costs.

We are essentially donating all that money to billionaires. If they managed their companies appropriately, taxpayers would not need to pay for social assistance of any kind.

We taxpayers are only being financially disadvantaged by big businesses underpaying their employees.

Lastly, how dare you treat a human being as badly as this!? If you buy things from businesses that pay minimum wage instead of living wages, you are responsible for their level of poverty because you don’t give a dang about any of them nor the families they support.

If you don’t understand how business works, you should not say anything.

I got an honorary EMBA from University of California combined with the then University of Western Ontario for my business practices in 2000. Why? Because I made a six figure business with investing $700 of my own money into the business. I made $10,000/mo my first month in business and I paid all my employees a living wage despite it being a childcare business.

Everyone got an elementary school teacher’s wages. I still donated several thousand dollars to the school we rented for the summer at the end of our nonprofit program.

You have no concept of money if you believe that lowering wages helps anyone including well paid individuals.

Low paid employees spend less money, invest less into their communities, and lower property values in low income areas.

We lose GDP significantly by lowering wages.

We lose GDP by requiring tax programs, reducing the disposable incomes of well paid individuals, all in the name of supplementing underpaid employees of multibillion dollar companies.

Think about how badly our economic system is being managed! Corruption is a universal thing!

I also charged only $65/week to the parents for a performing arts day camp program. The going rate for babysitting at the time was $100/week. I wanted everyone to be able to afford to learn everything and have a fun summer experience instead of schlepping around all summer at a babysitting.

We put on a full play every two weeks, costumes and props included. Making them was part of our art program. We also put on a full vocal and full instrumental concert the same night, as well as an art show showcasing everyone’s art products.

I grew up performing professionally. I did not like how bad school performances in theatre, vocal and instrumental music programs in schools were! I also taught baking including food art. We went on outings every Friday, renting a commercial bus and bus driver. We saw all the coolest things that BC offers together!

I’m Montessori trained so no one was coerced, pushed, nor forced to do anything. It was all their willingness combined with my teaching methods which took kids with zero acting, singing, and musical ability and made them professional level performers within two weeks.
Many kids remained in our program the whole summer.

It was easy to manage all the financials. I come from a very large family. We know how to live very, very well on very little.

That’s who should be in business, not these selfish money mongers.
