>> Sanders accused companies such as Walmart and McDonald’s of relying on “corporate welfare from the federal government by paying their workers starvation wages.” >This relies on a mistaken theory on how wages get set. No one gets paid based on what they need. Is that what Sanders' statement implies - that wages are set based on worker needs? I don't think he needs to be interpreted that way.
