Obama earned 20 million in 12 years. It would take the McDonald's cashier 1136 years to earn that much.

Under a socialist government, Bernie Sanders would be one of the powerful few who get to decide what is “fair” for the American people. Scary thought.

Bernie’s lack of understanding the economy is what cost him the Democratic nomination IMO.

We should ask Bernie what the definition of a public servant is and why they make multiples more than the average American.

The typical McDs cashier couldn’t spell CEO if you spotted them two letters. Their $15/hr request is absurd as they’re easily replaceable. Plus, the new kiosks have never once given me an attitude.

I have no objection to a company paying a C suite member or anyone else in management whatever they want to pay them. That is a matter for the board. I do have a serious issue with a publicly traded corporation reimbursing anyone with stock options taxed at a capital gains rate.

This creates a lot of distortions in capitalism as profits are diverted from research and development, marketing, and dividends into share buybacks, decision making becomes a short term quarter by quarter affair, and an inner circle is exempted from paying income tax on the majority of their earnings.

Ban this practice and not only will capitalism be healthier but leftists won’t have as much to whine about.

I go to McDonalds a lot.

CEOs doing blue collar work at the level of fortune 500 companies like McDonald's is so comedic that they made television shows about it.


Some companies - McDonald's included - ensure that their senior leadership has a very solid understanding of what they're asking of their lowest level workers. The last CEO was well-known for taking time every month or year to actually go in and work at a store, and he, in fact, started as a lowly engineer designing fryers for McDonald's right out of college.

So, you know, you may want to get a little more info before you start spouting crap like that.

The answer is plainly obvious...you will be forced to comply at the point of a gun.

This is not a bug of Marxism, it's a feature. By Marx's own admission, his ideas will not work without being enforced by an all powerful state.

Oh I know. I just want Eurocuck to come out and say that he wants the govt to harshly punish and kill those who don’t comply.

I want him to come out and admit that he wants a complete totalitarian style govt that controls every aspect of your life.

He wants to be given everything. Told what to do. Told what to think. Told where to live, where to work, where to die.

He wants to be a complete servant to the state. All while ignoring that the people he is worshiping and following are simply the people that he wanted eradicated.

He is the have not. And the government is the haves.

He realizes this. Which is why he won’t come out and admit what he truly wants

Finland allows free trade. Everyone isn’t equal in Finland.

We’re talking about your fantasy land where EVERYONE IS EQUAL and the government provides ALL.

How would you, the state, prevent people from utilizing free trade amongst each other?

It happened in the Soviet Union. It happens in North Korea. It happens in the most restrictive jails on earth.

People will always utilize free trade no matter what situation they find themselves in.


Free trade makes people not equal. So how would your make believe govt end free trade?


Oh and LOL at one of the highest suicide rate in the WORLD

Maybe BS can explain to the McDonald's cashiers WHY he made over $1.1M last year and why that's not outrageous.

Homes owned

Bernie at least 2
Cashier usually 0

Married in an exotic location

Bernie 1
Cashier usually 0

Bernie wins again.

I love to hear a career politician that has done nothing in life but claim to care and take money from the people he "cares" about talk about the plight of a poor cashier.

Yearly earnings

Bernie $1M/year
Cashier LOL/hour

Bernie wins again.

Hypocritical, crazy old scumbag loon

CEO pay is stupid high BUT that is the going pay for a CEO. a person is worth what they can get I suppose.

My question is how much more he makes as compared to his maid or yard boy?
