WATCH: Bernie Proves He Doesn't Have A Clue, Compares Teacher Salaries to Baseball Contracts
Okay, even for radically far-left Democrat Socialist Bernie Sanders this one is a doozy.
According to the 2020 presidential candidate, teachers can be paid as much as Major League Baseball players.
Or something like that.
Check this out…
Self-confessed socialist candidate for president, Bernie Sanders, recently ripped pro-baseball because its players make more than teachers. But to many Americans, it looks like Bernie lacks any understanding about the economics of the matter.
He tweeted:
If we are a nation that can pay baseball players hundreds of millions of dollars, don’t tell me we can’t afford to pay teachers the salaries they deserve.

Just in case you don’t see the problem here, check out these reactions:
Did I miss something or has the government started paying the baseball players, or is it still private entities? He is as dumb as his minions who are not bright enough to think for themselves.

As someone that covers sports business, let me say that Bernie is woefully off here on why the difference. As sad a commentary as this is, baseball is entertainment. It’s why there are multi-billion TV deals and 70M+ attend games in person. I thought Bernie understood economics.

There are 750 Major League Baseball players. In the world. 70 million fans voluntarily paid to watch MLB players perform in 2018. This is an apples and asteroids argument.

I think teachers should be paid more, but you do understand players are only paid well because people are paying to go see them… right? I’m not gonna drop $80 to go see a 3rd grade teacher for 3hrs.

Baseball players are paid in the private sector, teachers are predominantly government employees. Perhaps we should privatize education and make it competitive so there is demand for exceptional teachers and they could demand premium pay!

For as ridiculous as Bernie Sanders’ policies are, at least the guy is consistent.
He makes it clear that he’s a full-on socialist and he’s not ashamed of it – for whatever reason.
If president, the 2020 hopeful says private insurance companies will go bye-bye and you will certainly pay more in taxes.
Bernie noted, “What Medicare For All does is it eliminates your private health insurance…premiums. You’re not going to be paying that. You’re not going to be paying co-payments. You’re not going to be paying deductibles. …Will you be paying more in taxes? Yes you will!“
WATCH:
Sanders loves America like Barack Obama respected the Constitution – not at all.
The current 2020 presidential candidate said the United States government was behind a series of domestic bombings back in 1976.
Read that last sentence again and make sure to remember it when your friends say they’ll vote for anyone but President Trump next November.
