Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., will introduce legislation Thursday with Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., intended to force Walmart to pay workers at least $15 an hour. The bill would institute fines for corporations that buy back their own stock unless they set their workers' base pay at that level.
"Last year, 4 members of the Walton family of Walmart made $12.7 billion in 1 day. It would take a full-time Walmart worker making $11/hr over 653,000 years to make that much. Thursday, @RepRoKhanna and I are introducing legislation to make Walmart pay its workers a living wage,"

That’s completely unconstitutional.
Unconstitutional
What a cheapskate!
Why not $150 an hour, Bern?
Keep it up moron, Walmart is now currently empty of employees, its basically a self service store.
Bernie and Ro. Two idiots that deserve each other.
There are so many stumbling blocks to this proposal I can’t count them all.
Does this cretin have any idea what a BILL OF ATTAINDER is?
Hey commiemoron, buy Walmart and then pay “employees” not show up, say $1500/hour.
You would be hero of socialist paradise.
Lock him up!!!!
Exactly. I was in a Neighborhood Market the other day. No registers open. Only scanners. About 3 stockers. One assistant mgr. running around. That’s it.
What’s this Constitutional thing you discuss??
The only good American communist is a dead American communist
Wonder if this person would approve?
This is all for show ... to get the communist/Democrat/Left’s wacko base fired up.
It’s just for show. They both know it
Dims are not about growth, or solutions. They’re about conning, whining, name calling, buzz words, corruption, voter fraud, and condescension
OK...see that small pebble near your foot? It has more economic sense than you do, Bernie. Look at the people who shop at Walmart...probably not the one-percenters you hate so much. If Walmart is forced to pay $15/hr, what will they be forced to do to prices? End result: you shuffle money from low-income consumers to low-income wage earners. Net gain: zero. Really, Bernie, are you that f’ing stupid? (Hint: Yes, he is.)
Bern, Bern, Bern. Ya got it all wrong, buddy...all wrong.
For the “social injustice” they’ve brought to America, maybe you should introduce a bill to make them pay EVERYONE on the country $15/hour for the next 50 years...except white, straight, Christian males. They get nothing. /S
“That’s completely unconstitutional.”
Constitution? We don’t need no f*cking Constitution! We are THE RATs, the law is what we say it is! Fortunately, we have DJT for President and not the Magic Negro!
Eh. Judge in Hawaii will make it constitutional
Equal application of the law?
Bernie, how many houses in extortion pay off do you need to shut up and go away, I’m sure someone would be happy to provide you with something suitable...
