Raising the Minimum Wage Kills Jobs and Leftists Know It

Bernie Sanders demanding [$15 minimum wage], as are all the Democrats. Now, the funny thing about this — and this is even in the Washington Post. “Unionized campaign organizers working for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential effort are battling with [the Bernie Sanders campaign], arguing that the compensation and treatment they are receiving does not meet the standards Sanders espouses in his rhetoric, according to internal communications.

“Campaign field hires have demanded an annual salary they say would be equivalent to a $15-an-hour wage, which Sanders for years has said should be the federal minimum. The organizers and other employees supporting them have invoked the senator’s words and principles in making their case to campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, the documents reviewed by the Washington Post show.” The bottom line is, Bernie Sanders’ campaign staff is unionized. Now, right there, what could go wrong? They’ve unionized, and they’re demanding $15 an hour!

They’re demanding the “living wage” that Bernie Sanders is promising everybody! They’re demanding 100% health care for those earning under $60,000. These are the things that Bernie is screaming about every day, and Bernie’s campaign is saying, “No!” Ha-ha. Bernie’s campaign is saying, “We can’t afford it!” Bernie’s campaign is saying, “Come on, you people! This is a temporary business. The campaign’s got an open and close date. We can’t do this!” And these people say, “Well, you’re… You’re gonna make every other business do this.”

This is classic!

These people come in and propose this gigantic club to be used to hit everybody else out there, and they exempt themselves from it. Bernie’s campaign says, “We can’t afford it.” Bernie, do you know how many other businesses are not gonna be able to afford it because of the circumstances I just described? For the Washington Post… I’m telling you, folks, not only are the Drive-Bys out for Biden, they are out for Crazy Bernie now. This is what this is. The Washington Post doing this, trying to expose the hypocrisy and the tightwad, cheapskate characteristics of the proud socialist in the presidential campaign on the Democrat side?

You gotta love it.
