Bernie is a Math Prodigy

Bernie Sanders said at the debate that he wants minimum wage to be $15 per hour.

15$ X 40 hr week = $600
600$ X 52 weeks per yr = $31,200

Bernie Sanders wants free health care for all and was asked how he would pay for it. His answer was raise taxes to 52% on anybody making over $29,000 per year.

52% of $31,200 = $16,224 in tax
$31,200 - $16,224 = $14,976 is your pay
$14,976 ÷ 52 weeks = $288 per week
$288 ÷ 40 hr week = $7.20 per hour

Math. It’s fascinating.

Bernie is a nutjob who has lived his entire life off the backs of taxpayers. It would take an equally nutjob to vote for him.
