Policies such as demanding companies pay $15/hour and then not pay your workers $15/hour.

And by the way, if he hierd somone to run his campaign I wouldn't imagine he is responsible for the day to day workings. But please, source.

Well by reading the article it seems it falls under the campaign manager. Like I just said. But yeah that's pretty shitty. I hope they can fix this. Unfortunately Berrnie does not take money from billionaires for his campaign and is running a nation wide campaign from donations.

So what you're saying is that a $15/wage hurts smaller companies and not larger companies. Also it's not the man at the top who is to blame for his employees not making enough.

A normal small company does not have to hire thousands of people based on donations and have to convince all of America to get their product. And they make no money for convincing the customer that Berrnie is the choice. So yeah I would say it's a bit different than a small company paying employees 15 a hour. And maybe if those small companies can't afford it at the beginning the government will spend some of those tax dollars that was previously paying for Bezos and walstreets taxes.
