I wonder how much more Bernie is making than his interns.

Bernie earned over $1,000,000 in a year. That same cashier would have to work 57 years to earn a million. That seems fair.

The oligarch class? Jesus. The oligarch who is the CEO of McDonalds started with the company as a manager.

He started close to the bottom of the company.

I find it hard to believe that this board that is filled with Donald Trump fans - a man who said he would champion the little guy, the forgotten man, the common man (not the elite) at the same time has no problem wiht these insane salaries granted to the oligarch class.


Two points:

The pay of the highest earners like CEO bares no correlation to economic success of the middle and lower classes in a capitalist system.

Second, the middle and lower classes are enjoying an incredible economic surge right now. They aren't complaining.

Education credintials?

Sure.

Right now, if I gave away everything I owned and checked myself into a shelter, I could be back to close to where I am now in 3-4 years.

I could be on the same level as a McDonald's cashier in days.

Do you think it was the Watford Grammar school or the public university, Durham, which afforded the connections for McDonald’s CEO?

When Bernie starts applying this to congressman, like himself, I'll taking these tweets seriously. Apply it towards their salary, paid speechs, etc. Until then, he can blow it out his arse.

Or. You know. Showed up on time and worked his arse off.

But leave it to a socialist pile of shite to undercut others achievements.

You know, your jealousy and hatred of those who have more than you is probably a lead cause of your heart attack.

Jealousy isn’t a good look. And it isn’t heathy.

No. You’re jealous.

No one is forcing people to work at McDonald’s. The workers CHOOSE to work there.

You’re jealous of what the CEO makes and feel that it’s unfair. You believe that he should make less, and pay others more. That, is jealousy.

You’re jealous of his money, and instead of saying maybe I should better myself, I should just be paid more bc it’s “unfair”

There are over 14,000 McDonalds in the U.S.. That means he makes as much as around 7% of U.S. Mcdonalds cashiers combined. When you consider without leadership and branding none of those cashiers have a job, I'd say the pressure the CEO faces is well worth that pay.

Bernie is as dumb as a rock, which is why he is a "public servant" and professional protester.

Reality is a bitch. And life ain’t fair.

There are winners and there are losers. The haves and the have nots.

No matter what you try. No matter how hard you wish it to go away. It will always be.

It is a basic law of the universe.

Obama’s networth increased over 600% during his presidency. Mine didn’t.

And what we should be doing as a society is eliminating the winners and losers realm. Through tax labor, labor law, etc.
