Bernie Sanders doesn't know the difference between 'revenue' and 'profit' !!! Anyone want him to make economic policy ?

It seems like Burnie (feel that burn) sees a big number and loses control of all his mental facilities !!!

Its not that difficult to see him as a miser with his gold coins but he isn't happy with just his gold coins, he wants yours too!!!

Sanders confuses 'revenue' and 'profit' as he rails for unionization of video game industry

This isn’t the first time Sanders appears to have confused revenue of a company with profit for making a political point.

Bernie also doesn't know much about what its like to work in the private sector and pay your bills on time. He is a career politician whose personal life before public office was a train wreck.

Bernie also doesn't know what money is the taxpayers and what is his personally.

Bernie only knows what profits are when he is getting them from his investments, real estate, stocks, speaking fees, book deals etc. All while IN OFFICE.

Not saying this is good, but why is it you look the other way when Trump and his cabinet members are making millions last year running their businesses - while also IN OFFICE?

I am glad FOX found some "news" to report. I assume this is a front page story.

I'm missing the controversy here. He is arguing that any business making $43 billion deserves to have the workers unionized. You can disagree if you want but there is nothing wrong with the argument itself.

I understand that my example is an extreme but it would make the point. They take in $43 billion, pay the CEO and upper managers $30 billion, they have $12 billion in costs and pay the workers $1 billion.

They would argue there is no profit. Maybe not but there is plenty to go around.
