OF COURSE: Bernie Sanders Wants $15 Minimum Wage But Guess How Much He Pays His Interns

[Procrustes Stretched]

Like all liberals....he wants his ideals forced upon everyone else...but...not on himself.

Internships - DCCC

 

[BlueGin]

U.S. Congress

Internships are available in many Members’ Washington, DC, and district or state offices, as well
as in congressional committees’ offices. Internships are generally unpaid and offered year-round.

BERNIE'S interns for his VT & DC offices actually get paid $12 an hour MORE than they normally would.

Golly, yes, $12 an hour is $12 an hour more than nothing. Who knew? Why isn't he putting his money where his mouth is?

Your reading comp sucks. Bernie has NO CONTROL over what - if anything - his interns are paid.

Liar, he can write anyone a check he wants to. No law against it.

Cheap bastards themselves AND it's always someone else's fault too.

You are being ridiculous. If the money ain't there... <--- follow the dots...

Since when do libs care if the money is there or not?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Sanders is a complete fraud. The Clintons are one of the most corrupt political families in the world and he can't bring himself to criticize them directly.

Minimum wage earners aren't supposed to be trying to raise families either. But explain how it's not possible to pay them whatever Bernie wants? I don't get it.

Since when? Because you say so?

No because I live in reality. Only retards think a starting wage is good to go for a family.

So you made up a rule. Lots of people end up in low paying jobs who have families. But Iceweasel says they are not supposed to be there.

So why exactly are interned not expected to make money but burger flippers are supposed to expect as much or more compensation as our police , military and firemen?

They do it to have something to put on their resume, dingbat. No one is forcing anyone to take an internship. These are temp jobs used as extra credit for college.

How do I get college credit for my internship?

Internships are not full time jobs. This is much ado about nothing. These are temporary jobs for college students to gain experience and learn about the legislative and representative process.

So far, Bernie is paying $12 more an hour that those nasty Republican's. Go Bernie!

And this is the problem with uninformed responses.

It is difficult to get a straight answer because Bernie's website does not mention intern wages but a "Sander's 4 Prez" blog at Redit proudly states his Vermont interns (which number about 10) are paid $10.10/hr while his Senate staff interns are paid $12 ... the official gov't stipend for all interns.

The bottom line remains Bernie's hypocritical promotion of "a living wage" ($15/hr) while his campaign is paying $10.10/hr.

Evidently someone directing the campaign info is bright enough to keep the hard info on the down-low as it would obviously be an embarrassment if our #1 socialist got caught playing "do what I say, not what I do."

He's not taking any corporation blood money either.... the average Sanders donation is < $50 a person... & I'm willing to bet the people on his campaign are seeing the bigger picture...

I admire Bernie for his refusal to benefit financially from his life-long career in politics - he's never had a real job - and for his refusal to accept "corporation blood money" but that is merely deflection.

The point of this thread, in case you missed it, is his two-faced position on a $15/hr "living wage" ... a wage he demands others pay their people while he does not.

Then find out the break downs of his allowance & thus how much he CAN pay those interns. That ain't my burden.

His allowance?

We are discussing his campaign (not Senate) interns who, according to the FriendsofBernie VT - Official Campaign, start at $10.10/hr.

His campaign decides how much those interns are worth, just as any organization (including Walmart) does and I, for one, am OK with that:

FriendsofBernieVT - Official Campaign
"All of our interns are paid on the campaign at least $10.10 / hr. I'm not sure how many are working for us at this point -- 10 or so perhaps."

Cheap bastards themselves AND it's always someone else's fault too.

You are being ridiculous. If the money ain't there... <--- follow the dots...

Sander's campaign currently has $26 mil in the bank. He can afford to pay those on the bottom a few more bucks but chooses not to.

That's all the money he has & the election is a year away. His campaign isn't the private sector either btw.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT? Exactly who said THAT???? wow- that was 0 to 60 in a nano second... Public Servants deserve & do get more than $15 an hr but what say you when they wanna unionize 'eh????

unreal.

More reddit blog bullshit.

Friendsofbernie is NOT Bernie, dingbat. This is a BLOG. Get that through your thick skull! This is not a credible SOURCE!

I already posted the only source you need, and that was from Bernie's website. There is only ONE internship that Bernie offers.

 

[aaronleland]

So... he pays his interns $12 an hour more than most interns get paid? What an asshole..

 

[Likkmee]

Interns get paid?

The White House Interns earn $35,000 annually, or $17 per hour, which is 15% higher than the national average for allInternsat $30,000 annually and 54% lower than the national salary average for all working Americans. The highest paid Interns work forIntegrated Informaticsat $91,000 annually and the lowest paid Interns work forUniversity of Nevada-Las Vegasat $11,000 annually.

[SAYIT]

I guess I was wrong about you.

Evidently you are neither smart enough to know that Bernie has Senate interns AND prez campaign interns (and that they are paid different rates) nor honest enough to admit it.

I also note you failed to find any support for your $12/hr claim about his campaign interns.

Your GOOGLE not working?

Get this through your thick skull, there are not two separate paid internships, there's only ONE. He pays ALL of his interns $12 an hour. I do not give two shits what your reddit blog says.

The source of that $10.10/hr wage used the FriendsofBernie VT - Official Campaign Screen Name which is the grassroots organization connected to his campaign.
I see neither reason to doubt the veracity of the blogger or the info provided (quote below).

You have the right to kick and scream all you like but I do notice you have failed to provide any support for your claim that his campaign (not Senate) interns are paid more than stated:

[–]FriendsofBernieVT - Official Campaign
All of our interns are paid on the campaign at least $10.10 / hr. I'm not sure how many are working for us at this point -- 10 or so perhaps.

You idiot. Of course you don't see any reason to doubt a blogger from the internet. You are a low information voter.

Go get me a damn link to Bernie's site. I want that damn link, and I want it now!

Are you always this dense or do I bring out the worst in you?

I have repeatedly posted that Sander's campaign intern wage info is not available on his Senate website and the only source of that $10.10/hr starting wage info is his FriendsofBernie VT - Official Campaign.

If that's doesn't satisfy your need to know do the GOOGLE thing.

I applaud the fact that he pays his campaign interns but find his failure to pay them $15/hr to be hypocritical and that, much as you seem to want to avoid it, is the subject of this thread.

Summing up, the GOOPer outrage seems to be "Sanders pays his interns WAY MORE than any other candidate! WAAAAAAAH! That's worse than taking away the Snowflakes for Jesus!"

Oh please... bringing up Hillary was a deflection...

Do you honestly think his interns that could be donating their time for free because they obviously deem it a VERY worthy cause & could be paid ZERO as well, would rather Bernie be paying them a full $15 instead?

wow.
