Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wants to give Americans a paid vacation, as part a "family values" agenda he outlined Thursday.
Sanders, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, said he is introducing a bill, the Guaranteed Paid Vacation Act, that would give 10 days of paid vacation to every employee that had worked for an employer for at least one year. The legislation would apply to employers with at least 15 employees.
"What family values are about is that at least for two weeks a year, people can come together under a relaxed environment and enjoy the family," Sanders said from the Senate floor. "That is a family value that I want to see happen in this country."
The legislation is part of the senator's "family values agenda." As part of the agenda, he also backed legislation that would give an employee 12 weeks of paid leave if they have a child or serious medical condition, as well as a separate bill that would give workers up to seven paid sick days.
On his support for paid sick leave, Sanders added, "I am not crazy about the idea of somebody who is sick coming to to work, preparing the food that I eat in a restaurant."
While Republicans had talked previously discussed "family values," Sanders said that "generally speaking, what they mean by family values is opposition to a woman's right to choose, opposition to contraception, opposition to gay rights."
The senator's remarks came as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is making a presidential bid, unveiled a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

I like this idea.
But instead of meddling with the relationship between me and my employer, how about a six or eight week federal tax vacation? I’ve been paying the feds for the better part of 30 years - think 6-8 weeks is about right, although the more the better.
The Kraft durch Freude organization provided vacation trips (skiing, swimming, concerts and ocean cruises). With some 25 million members, KdF was the largest of the many organizations established by the Nazis.
“Sanders is an economic moron who does not understand where wealth comes from.”
That’s because the creation of wealth is a complex topic. Basically wealth comes into existence when it is stolen from unemployed people by the 1%, which is why it all has to be redistributed by the government. The process of wealth redistribution by the government actually creates more wealth. Unfortunately some of this excess wealth is stolen by the 1% so the cycle has to repeat.
...and his plan is that every company will raise a herd of Unicorns that squirt cash out their backsides to fund this. Seriously, where do idiots like Sanders come from, and can he tie his shoes without assistance?
“A pony is a constitutional right!”
Wait a minute! You can’t “own” a pony! Ponies got rights too!
“You can’t “own” a pony!”
You raise an important point. I say we all have to marry our ponies, just to make sure there’s no disparate-impact-environmental-injustice-gun-violence-income-inequatlity.
Same-sex pony-human marriage is a constitutional right after all.
But, but, Bernie is a Jew. How curious this poor demented soul would emanate the Nazis.

Bernie has been playing with something else entirely too long. He just thought he’d do it until he needed glasses and now he’s practically blind.
Jewish immigrants brought with them a lot of the European socialist agenda and passed it on to their kids, which is why so many Jews (so-called) are liberals today. It’s an ethnic tradition. To abandon liberalism would be to reject their roots, their ancestors. Some Jewish immigrants realized that coming to America meant breaking with the past, many saw it merely as an escape from the most virulent forms of antisemitism.
Bernie and the rest of the Dems are just following their favorite German economist’s words:
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need “

How about getting them a frickin’ job first. If they are going to sit around on their asses for 365 days per year, why do they need a vacation?
And, ten cent ceegars for A-dults.
True, as long as that's a plastic flashlight (batteries and bulb not included)...
Ah, a free Radio Shack™ flashlight! Oh, wait...
Go ahead and laugh, but populism like this is going to win the next election.
I only hope it does not elect the second-coming of Stalin or Hitler.
To the marxists, family values are simply stealing from the productive to give “free sh!t” to the moochers.....
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need!
Isn’t that nice. He isn’t giving anyone anything. He would force employers to do it.
BTW, sanders, I would like a paid vacation too. I can’t take one. Nothing left at the end of the month.

Its not a family value if the Government is paying for it or forcing someone else to pay for it.
Family value is when you work for it and earn it....
