Bernie Sanders’ war on women

Bernie Sanders’ war on women

Bernie Sanders wants Nike to stop doing business in Vietnam. He recently accused Nike of

“exploiting low-wage workers”

in Vietnam.

Unfortunately, Sanders did not actually talk to any of those Vietnamese workers to get their opinion on this issue.

Fortunately, a guy named Johan Norberg did talk to Vietnamese workers who work in a Nike factory. He then wrote the following:

But when I talk to a young Vietnamese woman, Tsi-Chi, at the factory, it is not the wages she is most happy about. Sure, she makes five times more than she did, she earns more than her husband, and she can now afford to build an extension to her house. But the most important thing, she says, is that she doesn’t have to work outdoors on a farm any more… 10 to 14 hours a day in the burning sun or the intensive rain, in rice fields with water up to your ankles and insects in your face.

Bernie Sanders wants to reduce the income of Vietnamese women by 80%.

Bernie Sanders want to force Vietnamese women to work outside in the burning sun and intense rain, with water up to their ankles, and insects in their face.

Bernie Sanders wants Vietnamese women to earn less than their husbands.

Bernie Sanders wants to prevent Vietnamese women from being able to afford adequate housing.

And above all else, Bernie Sanders believes that Vietnamese women are too stupid to make their own decisions regarding employment, and he wants to make those decisions for them.

... Bernie Sanders ... wants to make those decisions for them.

There, at its core, is the Liberal mindset - they want to tell other people how to live their lives, and kill them if they refuse to comply.

—have used exactly the same argument—most of these “sweatshops” have a waiting list of those wanting to escape the subsistence living to which they were born.

—same thing for the South African gold miner—for years , the natives would walk hundreds of miles for a job—the prudent ones could accumulate enough in wages to go home after a couple of years , but some cows and get a couple of wives and live in relative luxury —

—likewise turn of the century American miners making $3.00/day—it was better than grubbing out a living on a subsistence farm-—

Bernie can see to it that we do it the old Soviet way. Have political prisoners in far-flung gulags make the “shoes” for which we have to stand in line for hours, paying with state-issued vouchers granting us one pair every five years. And imagine the quality of the product, made under slave labor conditions.

Go, Bernie. It’s more than women he’s targeting in his war.

I’m sure it’s been around since the dawn of humanity.

Some people just like to tell other people what to do.

Which is typical of Muslims, communists, faggies, liberals, vegans, & other common scolds.

Comrade Bernie the fossilized socialist is a throwback to the Cold War - the other side that is.

Humorless, scolding, never communicates but simply lectures, Bernie is Mario Cuomo without the charm. /s
