Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

Why is that picture comparing an intern to a regular worker? Of course an intern doesn't make as much.

Socialism is okay in small doses providing it's controlled and paid for but these fa left wing socialists would see the world croumble around them if they ever got power.

United States Congress Legislative Assistant Salaries
$49,253 vs Bernie interns $17,500.
Actually Bernie interns with few exceptions do not make even 1 cent per hour. Several major law suites in progress.
Of the 205 House and Senate sponsors of the Raise the Wage Act, which would increase the federal minimum wage to $12 per hour by 2020, only a dozen pay their interns while the rest — 94% — do not, says the Employment Policies Institute. The employer-backed nonprofit, which considers minimum wage hikes a threat to entry-level jobs, released its study in May and updated it in June.

Reminds me of that kerfuffle a few years ago where The Nation magazine was criticizing Walmart for not paying $12 ab hour when The Nation wasn't even paying their interns minimum wage.

Damn - I used to hire terrific high school students - I let the school admin do the HR work. I let them set their own hours - Pay started at minimum wage and quickly rose - When employees got a bonus which was usually a Christmas bonus the high school students got a chunk of the bonus money. To be fair looking back I should have paid much much more to the students.
