Hey Bernie, why not a bill to pay any worker anywhere $60,000 a year?

Because you non-government, private sector deplorable tax paying peons don't have corrupt union$ backing you up.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Money grows on trees and harvested by communists.

But wait! Many have masters degrees, which makes them smarter than everyone else (but not me, I have a doctorate)*

*And not a joke doctorate like Dr Jill Biden

[FreeReign]

I know that, but the Fedgov contributes to their paychecks.

Only about 8% on average comes from the Feds.

[FreeReign]

It is a labor issue. Labor votes are all required, every single one. Therefore, it is a federal issue to be brought forward at the demand of Labor

Not sure what this means.

I’d be in favor of raising the minimum wage for teachers to $60,000/year if it is accompanied by a ban on teachers unions.

I’d be in favor of raising the minimum wage for teachers to $60,000/year if it is accompanied by a ban on teachers unions.

I'd be in favor of merit pay if there were no unions, good teachers make 6 figures, some less and the bad ones are fired.

[9YearLurker]

Yet we have a general minimum wage.

[Verginius Rufus]

What’s a minimum teacher? One who can recite the alphabet without help and can count to 20 without taking off his or her shoes?

[From The Deer Stand]

Good point!

[Parmy]

There you are! Problems in education solved by raising teacher pay. That is always the educators mantra. Just pay us more and we will do a better job.

[vpintheak]

Buy off the communist teachers. Communist teachers indoctrinate the youth (even more than they do right now). The cycle continues. The drain continues to swirl.

[Ge0ffrey]

This is NOT a Federal issue.

[antidemoncrat]

Oh goody. We need to pay newbie teachers right out of perverted universities $60 grand a year to teach kiddos the proper pronoun to use and what are all of the 1000 genders available to them.

[Vaduz]

Indeed Sanders BS bait he knows teachers unions at 100 % pro democrat they are in the democrat money loop.

Democrats give them more money they give the votes a endless cycle.

JFK gave civil servants the right to unionize for a reason.

[ridesthemiles]

SANDERS sure thinks money grows on trees.

HE NEVER HAD A SINGLE JOB IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR

Reminds me of Pirhana fish-—always taking/killing things

[ridesthemiles]

In some schools-—Teachers are SHOT by 6 year olds-—and NO CHARGES are brought

[Leep]

Bernie lives in imaginary socialist America.
Where socialist like himself are quite wealthy.

[Antoninus]

Recall that the Left views public school teachers as their drill sergeants in charge of brainwashing the next generation of leftist foot-soldiers. It's the Left's very own version of Ottoman devshirme.

[Vermont Lt]

The states should be in charge of education. In fact, I think the local government should ultimately be in charge of the schools.

Pay of $60k per year would be a pay cut for half the teachers in our schools. And our graduation rates reflect it. So don’t my tax bills.
