Is Bernie Sanders telling more tall tales? Recently this column noted the deception in which Mr. Sanders falsely claimed that a free-market think tank had concluded his proposed takeover of U.S. health care would save money. Now Amazon.com says that Mr. Sanders is telling whoppers about the company’s workforce.

As a socialist Mr. Sanders doesn’t like capitalism in general and has specifically argued that shareholder-owned Amazon has too much power. Lately he has also been claiming that many Amazon workers receive such meager wages and benefits that they require government help.

A page on the senator’s website makes his case and invites Amazon employees to report on their workplace:

Amazon is one of the wealthiest corporations in the world, and its owner, Jeff Bezos, is the richest man on the planet, worth over $155 billion. Despite this, Bezos continues to pay many thousands of his Amazon employees wages that are so low that they are forced to depend on taxpayer-funded programs such as food stamps, Medicaid and subsidized housing to survive.

Are you a current or former Amazon employee? Please share your experiences working at Amazon with Sen. Bernie Sanders. Have you used public assistance, such as food stamps, Medicaid or subsidized housing, in order to make ends meet?

In a Wednesday blog post the company says that the Vermont senator is wrong on the facts and suggests that he has not made much effort to learn them:

Senator Sanders continues to make inaccurate and misleading accusations against Amazon.

We have been in regular contact with his office and have offered several opportunities for Senator Sanders and his team to tour one of our fulfillment centers (FCs). To date he has still not seen an FC for himself.

Instead, Senator Sanders continues to spread misleading statements about pay and benefits.

The company reports that “the average hourly wage for a full-time associate in our fulfillment centers, including cash, stock, and incentive bonuses, is over $15/hour before overtime.” The Seattle retailing giant adds: “Sanders claims that Amazon’s median U.S. salary is $28,446, despite the fact that we’ve made clear that this number is global and includes part-time employees. In fact, the median U.S. salary for full-time Amazon employees is $34,123. We encourage anyone to compare our pay and benefits to other retailers.”
