Bernie Sanders said "a recent study showed that the CEO's of 23 of the Nation's 27 top job destroyers, these are the large corporations who are downsizing, who are throwing workers out onto the street, those particular CEO's received raises last year averaging 30 percent. So in other words, it is good for business. We are going to really reward you, give you a major increase for throwing workers out on the street. The more you throw out, the bigger the increase would be." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
