NYMag: Bernie Sanders's BEZOS Bill Would Hurt the Working Class, Not the Rich

[JHan]

153. "2 million dollars ain't nothing"

"I'm sure the organization is doing legitimate work, but regardless" ....

Which is it? They're compromised or not?

Deal with the points they raised instead of lending credence to the smear. This is as bad as the attacks on the Urban Institute and Planned Parenthood when the former analyzed a Sanders plan and the latter didn't endorse Sanders. Every time a body or organization dares point out flaws in something Sanders does this is the result- attacks on their credibility and tired tropes of being "Corporatist " and "centrist"

No , Corporations do not lobby to gut the social safety net. I don't know where you got this idea from. Not all corporations are the Koch Brothers.

Typically they don't. They are quite happy to let government pick up the slack.

Stick to dealing with what the study says.

"The better option is to get the 15 dollar minimum wage, or better still, a basic income guarantee, both of which would rely less on regulatory bodies to ensure that companies follow regulations." -

Well right, On that, we can sort of agree although I'm revisiting my original enthusiasm for basic income. It's best to get these things done slowly. The first step is addressing wage stagnation, and protecting what we have under the affordable care act imho. Yes , the much dreaded "Incrementalism".
