Mad Man Bernie Sanders Freaks Out on Reporter

Bernie Sanders is back in the spotlight. And this time, he’s not just mumbling about the one percent – he’s shouting about it. Sanders, the “democratic socialist” senator from Vermont, is raising his voice, and it’s all caught on camera.

So, what got Bernie’s feathers all ruffled? A proposal for a 32-hour workweek. Now, I’m all for a shorter workweek – who isn’t? But when you start talking about enforcing overtime pay at 1.5 times the regular rate for workdays longer than eight hours and double for those exceeding 12 hours, my eyebrows start to raise. And when you insist that this reduction in work hours should not negatively impact workers’ salaries and benefits, well, that’s when I start to wonder if Bernie’s been hanging out with the unicorns again.

The confrontation started when Fox Business correspondent Hillary Vaughn innocently asked Sanders about his proposed workweek reduction. “Can I talk to you about the 32-hour work week? It seems like… Democrats want businesses to be taxed more, pay their workers…” Vaughn began. But oh boy, did Bernie have a bone to pick with that. “Really? Is that what you think?” Sanders retorted. And then, he really let loose.

Sanders launched into a tirade about worker productivity, wealth distribution, and tax rates. Apparently, Sanders believes that because American workers are over 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s, they should be working fewer hours for the same pay. I mean, who needs economic reality when you’ve got socialist ideals, right?

Sanders also had a few choice words for billionaire Jeff Bezos. “When Mr. Bezos pays an effective tax rate lower than the average worker, I think we have a real problem in our tax system… I think that billionaires have got to start paying their fair share of taxes,” Sanders argued. Ah, the old ‘fair share’ argument. Never gets old, does it?

So once again, we have Bernie Sanders, shouting about the one percent and proposing unicorns for everyone. Or, well, a 32-hour workweek at least.

Bernie belongs in the trash heap of old Russia CCCP that went under! Those millionaires/billionaires are reinvesting their money into the market not only to grow them more money but to grow the economy! They invest in new endeavors for new business or the expansion of current businesses. Why they pay less taxes is the amount of deductions from their expenses incurred during the year! Just like the rest of when you go long form!!

How does this jack@$$ keep getting sent to DC??? It is scary that people can be this stupid!!!

Truth_Seeker!

What’s really pathetic is that Sander, from what I remember in all the information I gathered, didn’t work a dang day in his life the years all the way up to becoming a nominated senator!He was basically a pure, lazy bum on the system! And now like so many, especially on the left, once he became a senator, becomes vastly rich, through the system and declares the rich that did work to become rich give up their “Fair share’ and all the other various BS leftist communist crap!

Old wolf

Betting the old fool doesn’t even know what he’s yelling about.

Bernie has never had a private sector job, let alone one that he had to be concerned about payroll and worker productivity. The way the government functions is all he know about.

Bernie is just one example, why the whole world is laughing at our country right now.

What do you mean when you say “Bernie goes mad”? Bernie has been a crazy nutjob for decades already! When are people going to get a belly full of bums like him, and vote his kind out?

But Bernie’s party accepts money from George Soros?

He also slobbers over Medicaid and Medicare – but his staff says he never worked for either agency.
He’s just a LOUD-MOUTHED know-it-all, always trying to point his bony fingers at someone.
He never took any healthcare complaints. And there are plenty!
