Asserting something doesn't make it true, FYI. One of sanders' main tenets is a higher national minimum wage. Letting companies not pay the wage by designating workers as 'contractors' is a sure fire way to defeat a minimum wage in one second, the same way 'right-to-work' legislation kills unions' power. Why can't McDonald's call the fry kid a contractor, and better yet make him buy his own fryer and potatoes? Uber only works in a situation where the government can't or won't exert regulatory control. That may be ok by you, but it sure as shit is the exact opposite of socialism.
