If there’s one thing Bernie Sanders has spent decades proving, it’s that he’s never too busy to tell others how to spend their money, and no corporation is too big or small to be offered these consulting services. Today, Sanders served as a voluntary CFO for McDonalds and let them know how he thinks they can comply to his wage demands:
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.

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.

Well, in our view, Bernie Sanders has enough houses to give us one, though we don’t think he’d agree for some reason.
Lol, it doesn’t work like that?

“It doesn’t work like that” is Bernie’s middle name!
Bernie does it again… Dont you just LOVE someone who makes statements about business yet doesn't even understand how a corporate franchise works??? https://t.co/8pkim2fMPn

We’re just guessing that those kinds of “details” don’t concern Bernie.
Your view is dumb.
But this view is to be expected by someone who has never run any kind of business in his long lifetime, let alone work a real job that was not on the taxpayer dole. https://t.co/Uf1nRj12cd

"In my view…"
That's why you've been a useless politician your whole life and not the CEO of McDonald's https://t.co/13LIXtN4XE

Why do these #BrokeAssScammers think they have the right to tell anyone who has made money HOW THEY SHOULD BE SPENDING IT? https://t.co/dEcoftu8Ej

That’s just what they do.
It's not Bernie's money. There's nothing stopping Bernie from buying his own franchise & run it how he sees fit. All he has to do is use his money instead of ours. https://t.co/4lOOcOgpfM

That would actually be fun to watch, though it wouldn’t last for long.
