This is true. Also keep in mind that I can't stand Bernie Sanders. But that's not how he became rich. Making bank off writing a book is admirable and has nothing to do with him using politics to gain an advantage. Corrupt senators like Nancy Pelosi, and Biden who make direct money from their political influence are the ones who should be strung up.
Strangely, after over 40 years in public service, Sanders only got wealthy after his book. About as wealthy as an early pro-sports career - a very low end in regards to US congressmen.
Bernie is literally fighting for workers to unionise, if he gets some money off of a single book deal because people like what he says, who the fuck cares? It doesn’t change his interests from being pro-worker like the rest of the senate and their pac money.
@Bernhard Schwarz Yes because of their positions. If they weren't in positions of power & authority their actions wouldn't matter to the companies & special interest groups who pay them to do their bidding. It's like the popular influences on social media who are paid by companies to promote & sell their products. Only the product being sold is power of the rest of us.

That's not fair. They also lobbied against the politics of their members, using their money, to get laws passed they don't want. I remember I was an apprentice when the shady politics representative of the union came around to our class, to tell us what a bright idea it was to vote blue for the union, and on issues blue disagrees with us, like gun control or other issues, just donate our money to those causes. So take our money to do stuff we don't like, but it's ok because we can take more of our money to try and off-set what they spent. He said all this with a straight face, and nobody laughed. Every single union worker in America that doesn't have a Democrat bumper sticker, is a republican and just isn't allowed to have a red one.

When Bernie was Campaigning he got caught underpaying most of his staff, then to correct it he fired half of them to pay the other half a "living wage".
Get the story correct. They were all paid the living wage for a regular days work. However, some did extra hours that pushed their per hour wage less than 15$ hence, once he found out, he put an end to people working extra hours so that everyone gets 15$ per hour.

If you are Bernie's age, and you've managed to work hard and be relatively good at what you do, then it's pretty darned normal to be a "millionaire" - if you're in the suburbs, you're firmly middle class. It's for this reason that Bernie's been talking about billionaires and not millionaires for quite some time now. I still say he's got more integrity in his little finger than every republican and 95% of democrats (also in the pocket of corporations and billionaires) all put together.

I was in a union ILWU for about 6yrs before getting into the Department and my former union president was indicted and found guilty of stealing money from the union. He did go to federal prison. Later another union president for another local UPW was also convicted and sent to prison. This was the norm in my state for many years. Seems like these union presidents were doing a lot of things with members monies.
That’s how it works. I’ve yet to see a union operate on the up and up. Just like Socialism, they’ll make sure the upper echelon are well taken care up while the workers pay them to not work and make millions. It’s always been a scam.

Yes and no. It depends. I've worked at my company for 17 years. I'm ready to retire soon at age 62...the earliest I can...I will accept the lower social security because I'm no longer able to do the work of three or four young men like I used to. I am no f***ing slacker. But after 17 years... I only get paid a couple dollars more per hour than new workers. I could complain. They haven't busted their asses for years as I did to earn what they make. If we had had a union... I would be making far more... Not because I can outwork them now...but because I did my f***ing time. It's not unfair to reward a long term dedicated employee that has earned their better income from years of hard work. Union or no union. But firing some old worker that has dedicated many years to make a company successful and to make his bosses wealthy...because some cowboy is younger...(and most likely will leave within two years for greener pastures)..and more able to do physical work????? That is shameful. And I'd never work for such an asshole or recommend anyone else to work for them either. Those are kind of people that give companies bad reputations.

They all wanted to avoid an economic catastrophe right before Christmas which is what would’ve happened had they gone on strike. Knowing that they are so important to the economy you’d think their employers would just give them the sick time without any hassle
He did try to get 7 days paid since k leave included but was shot down. But you do need to look a little deeper as the why he voted that way. The strike would have caused an already massive supply chain issue to worsen. And that would have adversely impacted on inflation causing costs to rise further. So when you balance it out, what do you think he should have done?

@@callMeMK No lack of enforcement and government provided liability protection heads to hoarding and monopolies. You do realize monopolies are literally against the law? But yet they happen, why? Lax enforcement of existing law, and even government allowance of a monopoly because said company purports to be providing a "public service". You blame capitalism for the corrupt acts of specific people. When our system of economics hasn't been purely capitalistic in a long long time. Some have called it a "hybrid" economy, which honestly is just code for, an economy of the worst aspects of corporatism and socialism, that does neither well. in a free market capitalistic society, boycotts wouldn't be able to be neutralized by government backed bail outs. corporations wouldn't be allowed various liability protections provided by the government. What we have in this country is a form of socialism, but socialism for corporations. IE "Privatize the gains, but socialize the losses." And before you come back with "That isn't real socialism", I know and that's the point, it's not meant to be "real socialism" just like it's not meant to be real free market capitalism. The entire system is designed to disenfranchise the average American and empower the collective corporate and government structure. You're debating socialism vs capitalism and I'm telling you, the whole thing is a Cartel to begin with. Meaning we can't even BEGIN to have the debate over which economic system truly is better, without first getting rid of the criminal elements that run the country, hell the planet first. Because so long as that criminal element remains and is allowed to run things. No system or solution proposed will work out the way you want it to. So take a deep breath and step back from the Marx for one second and realize you live in a world run by a criminal Cartel, and THAT you need to deal with first.

Absolutely, unions are not better for America. They need to eliminate the Communist based idea of Unions and replace the Politicized Unions with Representative Coops, which would only help good employees, not just protect the worst among the Union workers, like occurs now and I speak from experience.

Bernie says his not worth 8 million dollars but then he doesn't say what he is worth. “Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook.” President Harry S. Truman.
Lol. He got rich entirely by writing a couple books. Unlike your corrupt republicans. Or Mullin who inherited tens of millions from daddy.
Markwayne is rich because he taken government welfare and cheated others and under paid workers. Mullins never said what he was worth I guest this was not a dk measuring contest so money and wealth was not measured. Republicans are just grimy.
He “got rich” by successfully selling a couple books he’s written. Explain to me how that makes him a crook?
It's probably 7.99 million
$18M
the truth only bothers the guilty
Yeah Bernie sure got fired up huh
Freaking old cronie
is that why you’re always whining about the January 6 insurrection?
But yeah, Bernie fights for the poor and wants to raise his own taxes. Opposite of republicans. I’d let the Republican senator who inherited tens of millions of dollars lecture me too.
@ScootMagoot46 no that's why you guys are crying about tucker showing the video of what actually happened that completely destroys the Dems narrative.. nothing from the Jan 6 committee was the actual truth..all edited film and bullshit testimony from bullshit"witnesses"..even the secret service guys that were there with trump during the whole thing said the committee was lying and the woman's lies about trump trying to grab the wheel was just that, LIES!!

I was in the UAW for 25 years and I can say, the union never did jack for me, but take 2 hours pay per month for dues!
they just are a colletion racket
Now it's 2.5hr, don't forget they also get their chunk of profit sharing. I see our local leadership before shutdown, thanksgiving, and Christmas. At least they give out a t shirt every election year, when they come around asking for votes.
UAW is weak, we should shut it down. It's barely alive anymore, they failed to force the co.panies to stay in the States multiple times. That Union, is a fake and is not trying g at all, to force D.C. to keep Automotive jobs in USA.
That's not fair. They also lobbied against the politics of their members, using their money, to get laws passed they don't want. I remember I was an apprentice when the shady politics representative of the union came around to our class, to tell us what a bright idea it was to vote blue for the union, and on issues blue disagrees with us, like gun control or other issues, just donate our money to those causes. So take our money to do stuff we don't like, but it's ok because we can take more of our money to try and off-set what they spent. He said all this with a straight face, and nobody laughed. Every single union worker in America that doesn't have a Democrat bumper sticker, is a republican and just isn't allowed to have a red one.

When Bernie was Campaigning he got caught underpaying most of his staff, then to correct it he fired half of them to pay the other half a "living wage".

Get the story correct. They were all paid the living wage for a regular days work. However, some did extra hours that pushed their per hour wage less than 15$ hence, once he found out, he put an end to people working extra hours so that everyone gets 15$ per hour.

He did try to get 7 days paid since k leave included but was shot down. But you do need to look a little deeper as the why he voted that way. The strike would have caused an already massive supply chain issue to worsen. And that would have adversely impacted on inflation causing costs to rise further.

Basically the people brought it on themselves because they are too stupid to know how pie charts work, and could care less if wage increases were even possible in the company they worked...
@@callMeMK No lack of enforcement and government provided liability protection heads to hoarding and monopolies. You do realize monopolies are literally against the law? But yet they happen, why? Lax enforcement of existing law, and even government allowance of a monopoly because said company purports to be providing a "public service". You blame capitalism for the corrupt acts of specific people. When our system of economics hasn't been purely capitalistic in a long long time. Some have called it a "hybrid" economy, which honestly is just code for, an economy of the worst aspects of corporatism and socialism, that does neither well. in a free market capitalistic society, boycotts wouldn't be able to be neutralized by government backed bail outs. corporations wouldn't be allowed various liability protections provided by the government. What we have in this country is a form of socialism, but socialism for corporations. IE "Privatize the gains, but socialize the losses."
And before you come back with "That isn't real socialism", I know and that's the point, it's not meant to be "real socialism" just like it's not meant to be real free market capitalism. The entire system is designed to disenfranchise the average American and empower the collective corporate and government structure. You're debating socialism vs capitalism and I'm telling you, the whole thing is a Cartel to begin with. Meaning we can't even BEGIN to have the debate over which economic system truly is better, without first getting rid of the criminal elements that run the country, hell the planet first. Because so long as that criminal element remains and is allowed to run things. No system or solution proposed will work out the way you want it to.
So take a deep breath and step back from the Marx for one second and realize you live in a world run by a criminal Cartel, and THAT you need to deal with first.

Listening to Sanders is like nails on a chalkboard.
When I lived in Florida, I made more money in a non union crane company than I did with a union crane company for the same job.
I had a summer job at a truck axle plant. Before joining the union I made 100 to 106 parts per day. After joining the UAW I made 60 per day. Those were the orders from my union guy.
Absolutely, unions are not better for America.
They need to eliminate the Communist based idea of Unions and replace the Politicized Unions with Representative Coops, which would only help good employees, not just protect the worst among the Union workers, like occurs now and I speak from experience.
Unions I’ve been in only support the Worst of the Workers, never the Good or above average employees!
I also had a job at a union plant. Never took any orders from a union guy. All they ever did was fight for decent wages, got me back pay for doing work at the foreman’s orders that was in a higher paying job, made sure I had good healthcare insurance, and decent vacation time. But then, you must have worked somewhere else.
Well i worked at a Ford plant UAW . Limiting your work load is to protect you from serious injury so you can continue to work for 30 plus years. You are either very young and still think you're indestructible or very naive.
@@mikebardel9420 maybe you're right however this was 40 years ago and I'm 100% sure I could still do 100 parts per day. It wasn't fast paced at all. It was dirty though. I used to go to wash up about 2 minutes before lunch bell. Union guy met me in the bathroom and said it looked bad like I was adding 2 minutes to my lunch time. He suggested I go 30 minutes before lunch and then don't do any work to stay clean for lunch.
did that end up being good or bad for you....just curious.
It's ridiculous the spectacles that happen everyday on the floors and in the buildings of gov. Back and forth of accusation after accusation of corruption.
Keeps your mind off the fact that both of them are screwing you daily.
What's ridiculous is they're pointing out each other's corruption but nothing ever happens to any of them. The judicial system looks the other way and they get elected year after year despite blatant, overt corruption.
Yeah and Howard Schultz is enjoying it. One is fighting for ppl to have more pay and another is fighting to help the billionaire
because they are all corrupt. You could take quotes from dems criticizing trump appointments mix them together with criticisms from republicans on Biden appointments and think they all actually agree.
Its crazy how broken it has become, they are so busy trying to get good sound bites or serving the White House that actually governing is lost.
@@onatone 🤣Bernie wants communism not to help working people. FYI you don't get to be a billionaire or stay a billionaire without working, investing and employing others.
Finally!! Someone with Common sense
Well spoken.
It is true he has three mansions worth millions and he made a couple million off his and wife’s books he’s a millionare probably 10 to 15 million
I'M A VERMONTER THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE YOU SHOULD SEE HIS HOUSE AND PROPERTY ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN
It's always adorable when Bernie tries to act tough 😂
He easily makes republicans look like the biggest wimps. It’s always hilarious. I still remember when Trump backed out of that debate against him scared that Bernie would damage Trump.
@@blackout07blue He didnt back out, bernie already lost by the time that trump was ahead.
@@blackout07blue Did you watch the video? Comrade Sander came across as a disjointed idiot.
Bernie was steamed rolled by the democrats because both mainstream parties fear him. He stands on his own with his platform and almost broke their whole scam.
Got heem
Proud to be an Oklahoman and see our representatives standing up to these hypocrites, career politicians and/or millionaire politicians are the most corrupt individuals you can find, I’d trust a cartel member more than a career politician, at least one is honest where their loyalty lies
Some are chameleons and will turn what ever color gets them more power and money.
Bernie is one of the poorest members of the Senate
Bernie destroyed him. Get wrecked
Lol. Mullin inherited tens of millions of dollars from his daddy.
@@blackout07blue , your daddy was a bum ??
Well said
Unions, like political parties, primarily strive to ensure their own existence, prosperity, and power at the expense of others.
Every institution inevitably becomes corrupt. That is the conclusion I have come as I get older.
Way more than 8 million, why have 3 houses if they aren't going to be expensive?
Spot on🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That’s my Senator!!!
Markwayne Mullin that is… I would NEVER claim Col. Sanders for shit…
Anti-union zealots haven't matured beyond selfish interest to self interest. Time to grow up.
What a great way to show respect just because you don't agree with someone do you have to treat them with such disrespect
@@barbarameaney8494 People who think there should be no lower limit to what others are paid for labor are disrespectful, not those who object to that selfishness. Ethics 101.
@@kparkslpnful he's my senator and shke my head every day to know how many idiots that live in vermont.
Senator Mullions, for pointing out the continued hypocrisy of Saunders.
Mullin plumbing combined with the company I work for. Nice guys over there. Mark is correct here
Lmao. Yeah lol, he seems like a great guy. GTFO!
Yes he does, holding sanders feet to the fire for trying to lie and obfuscate.
Bernie might not be a millionaire, but he's really good at helping his wife coverup multiple controversies when she was a college president, including a massive real estate scam.
He's a millionaire based on the value of his assets, income, and earnings from books. If there was a real estate scam, show evidence.
Spencer you should research that a little more, and I will tell you this, the person who asked for Bernie and his wife to be investigated, had something to do with Trump.
He is one
@@Hatemakesyoustupid what?
@@heatherwilliams6558 did you read Spencer's comment first?
I love the guy from my home state of Oklahoma! Amen! ❤
He's telling it like it is!!! And Bernie Sanders don't like it
He unwittingly laid out how politics works in his example of the Unions and CEOs.
This man is spot on!
I got into a union for a number of years. It was very easy to join but i could only quit on the anniversary date. I never saw a benefit. I did see a lot of us vs. them mentality. The local union president had an office where she sat and knitted.
same question i have every time i hear bernie
I spent many years in the "Screen Actors Guild"..... Not sure what they ever did for us......
I like Team Americas version better. The Film Actors Guild. Or the F.A.G. for short. 😂
Great debate, Mr. Mullen
Union company summed up: Try to make a delivery of a key raw material at 11:59AM when lunch break starts at 12:00PM. Once you do that, you’ll see how they really think. Then do the same with a non union shop.
Can't believe Barny didn't lose his stool after that embarrasing clubbing.
I used to listen to Bernie Sanders I wasn’t a Berner but he said a lot of good things which I was in agreement of.
He railed against millionaires and billionaires until he gave up his soul to HLC then he stopped railing against millionaires and I would hear him speak against billionaires. Funny how that happened and happens 🤔🤔🤔
He literally went from endlessly using the phrase "millionaires and billionaires " before 2016 to "billionaires" after becoming a millionaire himself by 2017
@@shooter7734 precisely 💯
Get it straight Bernie votes for Bernie.
“I started my company from nothing even tho I inherited it from my daddy”😂😂😂😂
Very good points Mr Mullin. Thank you!
Mullin was upset because Bernie stopped him from trying to fight a witness last week when he got his feeling hurt.
A constitutional right to form a union? What about the right not to be forced into a union?
Just wait for the pitchforks, then you'll understand🙂
The helicopters are waiting, go ahead and start the revolution already.
Donations from companies to senators means they will provide a different marketing and advocating for companies with the public. Slick. What speeches by politicians. Ugh
We need more Senators like Sen. Markwayne Mullin.
Oh ya. Lies and mischaracterizations. We need more of that.
He lied to the union leader last month with false statements. Youre right we need him!🫡
All Communists are the same - "I'm pure, and everyone else isn't. Give me ALL the power."
Finally someone stands up for corporations and CEO's!!!
