Bernie Sanders has a plan to solve America’s wage stagnation and its
long-neglected infrastructure: tax the super-rich and massively
profitable corporations, then use the money to fix the
multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure overhand left behind by decades of
neglect, and hire Americans at $15/hour, plus full healthcare, to do the
work.
Business leaders have protested that this will make it hard for them to
retain employees who are paid below-living wages and who don’t get
health care. They’ve threatened to fire all their low-waged employees
and replace them with robots.
Sanders hasn’t responded, but the solution is obvious: tax the
robot-owners and use the money to hire their former workers to fix our
nation’s crumbling roads, dams, waterworks, power-lines, schools, and
other public infrastructure.
