Bernie Sanders has decided to attack a corporation that provides millions of jobs to Americans: Walmart. But he probably didn’t count on this reaction from his supporters.

Earlier today, Bernie was a little upset with Wal-Mart but the way he expressed that frustration might actually bring him even more frustration.

I say to Walmart: Get off of welfare. Start paying your employees a living wage!

Alright Twitter, let’s see what you got on this one.

@SenSanders I say to government "Shut up and let the market decide wages!"

@SenSanders So basically you want Walmart to raise its prices so the poor people can't afford necessary goods.

… What he fails to understand of course is that not only are companies not required to pay whatever arbitrary amount liberals think is fair that day, the term living wage is disingenuous to begin with.

The minimum wage was never meant to support a family and it was never meant to be anything more than a baseline.

It’s odd: we never see liberals attacking grocery stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. Sure, the people working there get paid more, but the prices of their goods are completely out of reach for low-income Americans… and is that the only option liberals want for those struggling to get by? Overpriced groceries sold by a smug college student getting paid $15 an hour to move boxes around?
