The greatest irony is that we could afford to do this! The richest country in the world has no need to choose between wealth and economic justice. The only reason we have chosen wealth at the expense of economic justice is pure unadulterated greed. We can choose another way.

McDonald’s worker in the US: $9/hr McDonald’s worker in Denmark: $22/hr, 6 weeks of annual vacation, a union, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and pension. America must join the rest of the industrialized world and ensure that our working class can live with dignity.

There are only 89 MCD restaurants in Denmark. There are over 14 thousand in the US. Thanks Bernie for explaining the law of supply and demand. Higher wages = less jobs. There's nearly 4 million fast food workers in the US, millions could lose their job if minimum wage was $20.

Plus, you're spending so much on your military and on propping up your corporations (in tax cuts and other hidden benefits) that there's no money left for the actual people of the country...

Yes, greed and the compliance of the masses who watch the inequality happen.

Rich white men truly are the most entitled people on the planet. They literally think nothing can touch them & they are right. They control the money to buy their freedom and do what they want. Their is no accountability or consequence. The U.S. is a Gotham. Corruption is law.
