Female Announcer:  Wall Street banks shower Washington politicians with campaign contributions and speaking fees.

And what do they get for it?

A rigged economy, tax breaks and bailouts, all held in place by a corrupt campaign finance system.

And while Washington politicians are paid over $200,000 an hour for speeches, they oppose raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

$200,000 an hour for them, but not even $15 bucks an hour for all Americans.

Enough is enough.

Sanders (voiceover):  I'm Bernie Sanders, and I approve this message.

New Sanders Ad on Big Speaking Fees for Politicians Who Won't Support a $15 Minimum Wage

NEW YORK – Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign on Friday released a new television ad focusing on how some politicians believe it's acceptable to take over $200,000 from Wall Street for an hour-long speech but don't support a $15 an hour minimum wage.

“Wall Street banks shower Washington politicians with campaign contributions and speaking fees,” the narrator says as the ad opens. “And what do they get for it? A rigged economy, tax breaks and bailouts.”

“$200,000 an hour for them, but not even 15 bucks an hour for all Americans. Enough is enough,” the ad concludes.
