2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Time for Bernie to drop out. [View all]Baobab
(4,667 posts)57. Its great if you, like the Clintons, want everybody to be paid the same
for the same work. It will be a huge boon to business as they will be able to get three or four workers for what they pay one today.
