To be honest Bernie is not paying his Senate interns what he called "a livable wage". He does not pay his campaign staffers a "livable wage" as most are volunteers and the rest work so much that by hourly amounts they makes less than $7.25 and hour. Other presidential candidates are paying some interns while others are unpaid it depends what the intern asks for when they get the job and what their job entails; social media interns are likely being paid as are any interns who are doing work in the HQ, but "interns" in the field tend to be volunteers more or less because they do not consistently show up on time or at all, speaking from experience.

FUCK BERNIE!

You can say Fuck Bernie all your what, but who is your candidate? what are their opinions? where do they stand? you are providing NO CONTEXT, you are only trying to put him down but he still stands HEADS above every other candidate.

But what are they paying them? Why is your candidate or another candidate Better than Bernie? It is easy to try to talk bullshit when you give no context of comparison. If you are going to talk shit and complain about something, you should at least offer a BETTER alternative. Maybe you would just rather live in Anarchy and don't want any president and it should be everyone for themselves?

He is actually 20 points below every other candidate and I do not want the minimum wage raised at all but I feel if you're going to say $15 is the minimum livable wage then you should start by paying your staff that.
