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

He throws out all these huge profit numbers on twitter for Walmart, McDonald’s, etc and neglects to mention these are huge companies that employ millions.

Surely his followers understand how misleading he is.

Also, why does somebody who invests in a business not deserve some of the proceeds?

In Bernie’s world, investors shouldn’t have returns

Weird. A whole post and you don’t actually show anything resembling your position.

Have you ever talked to anyone who is against big oil? No, they don't understand profit margins or how misleading he is.

Your whole post history doesn't show anything approaching an IQ above double-digits.

It’s just a ploy to atttact the lower middle class and poor vote. They already use their BS tactics to attract the immigrant vote, young vote (and trying to make it younger), minority vote, and LGBTQ vote. The Jew vote kinda slipping through the cracks though.

I don't think that anyone who honeymoons in Moscow, has a clear grasp of anything.

Right. He doesn’t grasp profit.

And I’m playing dumb. Do you even read what you write.

Answer the question first. If I post it, will you admit that Bernie is an idiot?

If Amazon can raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour, there is no reason that McDonald’s—a company that took in $1.4 billion in profit and paid its CEO $22 million—can’t also pay its workers a living wage.

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
In my view, if McDonald’s has enough money to buy back $22 billion of its own stock, it damn well has enough money to pay all of its workers at least $15 an hour.
quote:

“Today, we live in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. But tens of millions of workers don’t know that, because they’re working longer hours for low wages,” Sanders said during the town hall. “Does anybody think that that is moral, or that is right?”
