Bernie Sanders: “There are millions of people making 910, 1112 bucks an hour…”

“I was in Texas a couple of weeks ago, and I was talking to some people. I had always assumed that nobody in America is actually making $7.25. I said, no, Bernie. There are people making $7.25, and There are millions of people making 910, 1112 bucks an hour in America today. I don't care where you lived. You know, you can be in rural Wisconsin or New York City. Nobody makes it on $12 an hour.” (47:44–47:51)
