Bernie Sanders is the only presidential candidate who pays interns. He pays a princely $10.10 per hour.

The current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is a starvation wage and must be raised to a living wage of $15 an hour.

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) January 28, 2016

Bernie Sanders pays well below the $15 living wage he expects all other employers to be by law required to pay out of their equally limited budgets. His revolution will be built on near starvation wages for the work of the worker bees.

Why most internships are actually illegal, with a cameo from @RBReich. https://t.co/lRIEMiycPB

OK, Nordic billionaire population sizes might be small, but plenty more billionaires make their own money in neoliberal USA than in Bernie Sanders’ Utopia

The economist costing the economic plan of a 74-year-old candidate forgot there is an ageing society in his labour force participation rate projections.
