Bernie Sanders finally admits artificial wage hikes kill jobs

It sure as shit isn’t when it’s a salaried position, moron.
Do you stupid fucks know the difference between salaried positions and hourly positions?

Apparently you don't. Why would a peon working on a campaign be exempt?
When economically illiterate Democrat bullshit gets confronted with reality.
"Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders announced this weekend he will cut staffers' hours so that they can effectively be paid a $15-an-hour minimum wage, prompting mockery from critics who say the move is more evidence that Sanders' plan to raise the national minimum wage is hypocritical and would only lead to less work and more unemployment."
Bernie Sanders campaign announces it will cut hours to pay staffers $15 minimum wage, prompting mockery
Socialism doesn't work even in his own campaign. What a joke!
He uses capitalism to make millions. Then claims only socialism can save us. Guy is a total joke. No wonder he is tanking in the polls. Even dims realize he's full of shit.
To be fair. Its IQ is only 76
You stupid fucks don’t even know the difference between a salary and a wage.
If you’re salaried at $36,000 a year, it doesn’t matter whether you work 20, 40, 60 or 80 hours a week. You still make $36,000 a year.
Hourly is entirely different.
But you see, ignorant cunts, the article said they are SALARIED positions. 42-43 hours a week is about equivalent to $15 an hour. That’s all Sanders was doing, but you dumbfucks are too fucking stupid to grasp that concept.
You’ll have to ask someone else, asswipe. I’m merely giving you the correct numbers based on the story.
Think you can grasp that simple concept? Your fellow RW retards can’t.
Well I’ll be, you ignorant fucks. Look who’s responsible for setting the exempt level at $35,000!
“But capitalism abhors a vacuum, so over time, more and more low-paid workers found themselves in the category of being salaried and ineligible for overtime. The Obama administration tried to tackle this with a Labor Department regulation mandating overtime for anyone earning less than $47,000, but it was challenged in court and the Trump administration elected not to defend the rule, instead writing a new rule that set the threshold at $35,000. At an annual salary just below that threshold, Sanders’s field staff would be collecting lots of overtime and thus earning more than $36,000, but instead, their salary was pegged (perhaps not coincidentally) to be just above the exempt threshold.”

Well, lookie here you ignorant cunt. Just what I’ve been telling you willfully ignorant morons.

Here it is again, ignorant fucktard, in case the first time went over your head.
