Socialist Hypocrisy Alert!

Doing his Seinfeld-George Steinbrenner
imitation

In an article on MRC TV, Bernie Sanders discusses minimum wage. It turns out Bernie is a bigger hypocrite than Al Gore on his world jet tour. Well, maybe not bigger, but certainly just as obnoxious. 

Presidential candidate and socialist by admission, Bernie Sanders (Idiot-VT) has introduced a bill today that is designed to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. 

The socialist Senator, said in a press release  that: "It is a national disgrace that millions of full-time workers are living in poverty and millions more are forced to work two or three jobs just to pay their bills. In the year 2015, a job must lift workers out of poverty, not keep them in it. Current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is starvation wage and must be raised to a living wage."

Bernie the socialist pays his staff $12 an hour. You cannot make this stuff up. 

Sanders, whose knowledge of economics is on par with barbers at a time in the past when they were performing surgery, cited several factors that he believes show the need to raise the wage to the level he prescribes for other people but not himself,

"The federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009. Increasing the minimum wage would directly benefit 62 million workers who currently make less than $15 an hour, including over half of African-American workers and close to 60 percent of Latino workers. If the minimum wage had kept up with productivity and inflation since 1968, it would be more like $26 an hour today."

Bernie, as I mentioned in passing, pays his intern staff less than half of that number he touted.

"No one working full-time should be in poverty," Sanders said, but he should have added: "Except those of whom I've decided can live on the amount of money I pay them."

As MRC TV points out, nobody is prohibited from paying their staff $15 an hour, or even $26 an hour, for that matter, to keep up with inflation. Certainly Sanders should know that as a United States Senator, but hypocrisy knows no bounds for socialists.

Perhaps socialists would rather not have to spend their own money to pay their staff. Maybe he should try passing a law demanding public funds be used to fund presidential campaigns.
