Bernie Sanders suggests Disney should use 'Avengers: Endgame' profits to pay workers 'middle class wage'
Bernie Sanders has an idea on how Disney could ensure all its employees earn a "middle class wage" with the snap of its fingers.
Sen. Sanders, I-Vt., suggested Monday it would be “truly heroic” if Disney used the profits made from the blockbuster “Avengers: Endgame” to pay its workers more, in response to a report the Marvel hit set multiple records at the box office a day after it opened Friday.
"Endgame" shattered the record for biggest opening weekend with an estimated $350 million in ticket sales domestically and $1.2 billion globally, reaching a new pinnacle in the blockbuster era that the comic-book studio has come to dominate.

So the stockholders who risked money on the venture should have their money stolen?
Basically, he’s saying he wants to rob people’s 401Ks to pay people who don’t save.
It’s not like the middle class isn’t deeply involved in the stock market. Probably most of their retirement is in the stock market.
His wife had a chance to be heroic by NOT running her college straight into bankruptcy.
YET....
...??
Disney minimum is $13 an hour. Not bad for a young person starting out.
Disney supports Democrats.
Feel the Bern, guys!
How socialism ruins creativity. Thank you Bernie for teaching the yutes about the evils of socialism.
I love the smell of Leftists turning on each other in the morning.
What a parasite. Leech off the most successful.
Oh yes! Force the socialist supporting bastards to live up to their own book of rules!
So far as I'm concerned, anyone supporting socialism should have a special socialism tax rate.
Bernie’s telling ‘virtue singling’ liberals at Disney that they should put their money where their mouth is...
Face it, Disney CEO’s are typical elite hypocrites... Bernie’s calling them out.
What would be the point then of making the movie?
I would like to know what Bernie thinks is a middle class wage and also what a rich wage is.
He is always spouting this crap but never tells you exactly what the dollar amount is.
By the way...
Bernie, how much do YOU make a year?
And - Do you REALLY NEED all of that?
I think you should GIVE half of it away..
You good with that, Bern?
What about all the money he made off his book?
Shouldn’t he go first, and give his book money to the needy, before demanding Disney do so?
Yep. How much of his salary does he “redistribute” to his staff?
He says housing is a right, does he open his home(s) up to the homeless? He's a fraud.
Of course he is. He is your typical Left-wing pol: breadlines for the peasants, while the Rulers enjoy plenty.
I’ll take your Profits ,thanks

Now you know why the Democratic establishment hates Bernie so much.
He attacks their rich donors.
