re: I’m convinced Bernie Sanders does not grasp the idea of profit margins

I wonder if someone like Bernie ever pitched socialist/progressive policies and ideas that weren’t just dumb recycled talking points from failed leftist experiments in the past, if he’d actually get somewhere.

Hate executives getting huge salaries and golden parachutes? Don’t just talk about “paying their fair share” nonsense about higher taxes and siphoning more money to the bottomless pit that is the federal tax revenue... how about suggesting that all executive level bonus structures have to be offered proportionally to all employees. A $40 million salary with a $100 million golden parachute if they are fired, and $10 million in stock options at the end of every year? Well if someone is making $40k a year, then they get $100k if fired and $10k in stock options.

Now. This suggestion is stupid and could never happen, but it’s likely to garner support from normal people that aren’t bitter towards rich people and think the federal government holding back rich people doesn’t get them anywhere.
