Like all communists, Bernie's brain is severely damaged, but his vocal cords remain intact. He won't shut up.
He is, though, very much like a watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside. This man needs to be admitted to an institution for the insane.
Dachas for all!
Well, seeing as our conservative hopefuls are beginning to be a disappointment and I haven’t had a vacation in years, I’m voting Bernie! /sarc
Hell, why stop there? I want six weeks of vacation at full pay, plus I want my company to pay for my hotel and travel. Those greedy rich bastards can afford it!!! When Bernie becomes president, we’ll all be able to relax, kick back, live the good life and have “the rich” pay for it all!!!
The only thing I would want to do on a vacation is play with my new pony.
Therefore Sander’s proposal must also include a free pony for all American citizens and any undocumented-dreamer-Americans-in-waiting.
A pony is a constitutional right!
Where does he get the idea that a decision like this should belong to the gov’t. & not a person’s employer?
He’s going to pay for it out of his own pocket?
We should all be rooting for Bernie. He is pulling Hillary further to the left. Look at the recent Dem Iowa straw poll..he got 41%...she’s petrified of losing Iowa, again, and will go hard left...which will hurt her in the campaign..
I guess the stupid bastard wants to give EVERYONE a “paid” vacation whether they have a job or not, huh?
Had the government mandated more vacation for my employees than I wanted to give, I would have complied - and cut their pay proportionately. An employer who raises labor costs by 5% to give employees one day off for every 20 days worked may lose the entire profit generated by that business. The only option is cuts to offset that added cost. Sanders is an economic moron who does not understand where wealth comes from.
I’m wondering if this vacation thing is some new liberal hot topic.
My son works at a recently IPO’d tech company. Soon after going public, they announced unlimited vacation for all employees. Seems that’s a popular “perk” at some of these tech places.
Then last week, they announced after an employee is at the company for 5 years, he gets a 30 day sabbatical, not only paid, but with an additional $5,000 bonus.
When I asked my son (who will be coming up to his 5 year mark in another year) why a place with unlimited vacation days would think this was a good idea, he said because the 30 day one will be mandatory.
So people, in their 5th year at the place, will be forced to take those 30 days in one big chunk whether they want to or not.
Seems a tad excessive, no? Not just vacations, but FORCED vacations of an extended period.
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.
...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?
Once again, it's time to visit 'The Money Tree'. In tonight's episode, The Money Tree will now pay for vacations for all Americans..even 'undocumented' Americans. Stay tuned for scenes for next week episode, 'Prius's For All'.
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 “
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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?
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.
