    Default Bernie Sanders finally admits artificial wage hikes kill jobs

    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."

    What a shit pot full of distortion.

    These people are on salary, not hourly. $36,000 a year at 40 hours a week is $17 an hour. If one works that same employee at 60 hours per week, now they make around $12 per hour.

    He’s merely keeping their hours near 40 so that they make near that $15 an hour.

    Lying sons-a-bitches.

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


    “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.”

    Poor DUMBER, desperate for attention and then he wonders why he is such a pathetic failure and loser.

    Isn't it amusing how the whiny leftists never complain about his vulgarity?

    You math is way wrong. anything over 40 hrs is time and a half. Try your math again, libtard. You guys are the reason this country sucks. You don't even know how to formulate the equation properly

    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 retard. We were calculating the hourly equivalent for the salaried pay. LOL my god you people are beyond stupid. Bernies pays his salaried workers about $10/hour when you consider the hours and the employment laws.
