  1. Sort of like you being born in America. If you make $32,000 a year or more you are in the top 1% of the world's economy. Bernie and his supporters are the biggest hypocrites of human history.

  2. Why do you think anyone should have to work at all to get paid? Guess what, economics is about what works and what doesn't work, not what should and shouldn't be.

  3.  @beefpho  Telling other people to give more to "the poor" while you don't give a cent to the poor by your own free will is called being a hypocrite.

  4. You invest, you get power. You work, you get a salary. Why should you get both if you just do one of those things?

  5.  @The_General_Zubas  Call it power, call it shares, whatever. Saying its unfair workers don't get shares makes as much sense as saying its unfair investors don't get salaries.

  6. You've clearly never read a study on how income and hours worked correlate.

  7. There is no such goddamn motherfucking thing as "making ends meet." In 1950 the life expectancy was 65, the median house size was less than half what it is today, and the average family spent 30% of their income on food. Yet we say those were the "good olds days" where EVERYONE could make ends meet, simply because there were no divisive, politically opportunistic assholes trying to make some Americans bitter about their situation for political gain.

  8. There is no such goddamn motherfucking thing as a living wage. A studio apartment is upwards of $3,000 a month in Manhattan but as little $250 a month in rural Georgia. And if you can't live on minimum wage, what the hell are people making minimum wage now? Dead?

  9. The idea you can consider $30,000 a year a human right while half the world is making $2.50 or less a day is craven and disgusting. Walmart couldn't even raise it's employee's wages more than $3,000 a year without raising its prices, as has 2 million employees and only 1.1% profit margin.

  10. Walmart where I live pays $12.50 an hour, that's more than I made at Dunkin Donuts, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Veggie-Noodle, and even Coding With Kids when I started out. Walmart runs one of the slimmest profit margins in the world so by any objective measure they are perhaps the least greedy company on Earth.

  11. I can guarantee those smaller stores are paying their employees less.

  12.  @celinehary3222  Bernie's is poison whether he's a politician or a pundit. His filthy, diseased heart is set on filling the richest nation on Earth with bitterness and self-pity. I just finished eating my dinner, which cost less than what America's most poorly paid laborer makes in 15 minutes. To hear him say Walmart is paying "starvation wages", especially while 3 billion people are living on $2.50 or less a day, should feel any decent person with rage.

  13. @Chris Engle Why would ANYONE be overpaid by a greedy corporation?

  14. If you make $32,000 a year or more you are in the top 1% of the global economy. You Bernie supporters are the most craven hypocrites of human history.

  15. @Chris Engle If he cared about the less fortunate he wouldn't be doing everything in his power to make them bitter and ingrateful. I used to be so passionate about giving money to the poor (the REAL poor, the Sri Lankans living barefoot in tin shacks) until I started butting heads with OWS types and later Bernie Sanders supporters and saw Americans with so much yet who were still so bitter. Now I struggle within myself to believe there is any point to charity.

  16. @Chris Engle No, he's definitely fanning the flames of bitterness and envy and ingratitude. Back in the days of OWS you would be laughed at for suggesting a $15 minimum wage. Now people are seriously suggesting a $20 minimum wage, look at Rashida Talib. And this isn't because people are getting more compassionate, it's because they think you "can't live" on less. That's not compassion: that's being spoiled and ignorant.

  17.  Robert Blackford  Western socialism is the most cowardly, hypocritical ideology in all of human history. They spent more on their Starbucks than half the world makes in a day and yet dare call the 1% greedy.

  18. You are objectively fucking wrong. Walmart makes 6 billion a year employee. They could not raise salaries by more than $3,000 a year without going into debt.
