The number of people doesn't matter. A far more important measure would be GDP. We are way ahead of any country, losing only to the EU. The EU has over 60% more people than we do, and we're barely behind. Health care for example, we spend more than anybody else. From people I know, I can tell you that it would absolutely save us money to move to that system. Bernie also wants to ensure that Companies can't get out of paying taxes. I was reading that big companies pay their employees in certain ways that are taxed way less. That's not even counting all the other ways. |
Well Australia has an almost identical GDP per capita and also has an minimum wage of around $15 an hour. In 2020 that will likely be well over $16 an hour. So $15 in 2020 really isn't that high.
