Bernie Sanders was getting blasted by people on Twitter and other social media because he was paying many on his staff less than the $15 minimum wage Sanders says is required for survival these days. It was quite a conundrum for poor Bernie. What to do? Raise costs for his campaign or actually practice what he preaches? Bernie chose to do neither. He raised the wages of the relevant staff to $15 per hour, but then he cut the hours each was working so that the take home pay actually went down. Bernie now gets to talk about what a great man he is for paying $15 per hour, but his staff gets less money than previously, so it is harder to make ends meet.
This is Socialism at work!
