How bernie got rich

[TNHarley]

bernie before he became a multi millionaire " there should be no millionaires"
Bernie after becoming a multi millionaire "there should be no billionaires"
What a fucking fake

No, that's inflation talking. When I was a kid, a million dollars was like a billion now. If you won a million, you were set for life.
Now there are lots of houses that cost more than that. Not palaces, either.

In 1970s, that is equal to 6.5m in todays money.

 

[TNHarley]

Obama in 2010 "at some point, you have made enough" "the oceans will rise"
Then he goes and buys a beachside 15m dollar home.
What a fucking fake

 

[TNHarley]

Practice what you preach, maybe? Holy shit

Peter Schweizer: Bernie Sanders rails about common good but public service has made him (and his family) rich
hen Bernie was first elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont, he appointed his then-girlfriend, Jane Driscoll, to head his administration’s Youth Office. Though the position was originally unpaid, Bernie eventually put Jane on the payroll over objections of the city council. The job was never advertised so that others could apply. A local paper noted that Sanders never bothered to provide evidence as to Jane’s “qualifications” for the position.
The appointment would remain a source of controversy for Sanders. After Bernie and Jane got married in 1988, his new wife received a big pay increase. As one local newspaper reported, “Political sparks flew at Burlington’s annual city meeting Monday night as Democratic aldermen raised a series of questions concerning a hefty pay raise for Mayor Bernie Sanders’ new wife and whether she should continue to hold her job as director of the Mayor’s Youth Office.”

In Washington, Jane became one of her husband’s top aides, serving at various times as his chief of staff, press secretary and political analyst. After a decade in Congress, Jane and family went about setting up a company that operated under three different names to provide income tied to Bernie’s political career.

On Sept. 27, 2000, the family formed Sanders & Driscoll LLC, a for-profit consulting company run by Jane, her daughter Carina, and son David. The business also operated under two trade names: Leadership Strategies and Progressive Media Strategies

The fact that this entity and its aliases were formed just weeks before the 2000 election is significant. The Sanderses ran these out of their home on Killarney Drive in Burlington. These entities served as financial conduits to run cash to the Sanders family.

It is impossible to know precisely how much because Sanders' financial disclosure forms, which he is required to release as a member of Congress, only listed “more than $1,000” as the amount of income they earned from these consulting firms. We do know that some of Bernie’s campaign dollars flowed through the LLCs. While running for House reelection in the early 2000s, critics claimed, “Sanders doled out more than $150,000 to his wife and stepdaughter for campaign-related work between 2000 and 2004.”
Some of the campaign money flowing to the family from Bernie’s campaign came as Jane served as a “media buyer” for his reelection. Media buying is a murky but potentially highly lucrative stream of income for those involved in political campaigns. Modern American political campaigns spend large sums of money on television and other forms of media. A media buyer handles the purchase of airtime and secures the contracts with media outlets.

Typically, a media buyer receives a commission of about 15 percent of the cost for a media campaign. So if a campaign were to spend, say, $1,000,000 on television ads, the media buyer would pocket a $150,000 commission. But here’s the kicker: the media buyer commission is not actually disclosed anywhere. Filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) only require disclosure of the bulk amount of the media buy. In this example, the FEC report will only disclose the $1,000,000 media buy. And as for the fact that Jane Sanders is the spouse of a politician, she is only required to disclose that she earns “more than $1,000” from her businesses.

What is interesting about the Sanders family foray into media buying, in particular, is that Jane Sanders had no apparent background in media buying. But in her husband’s 2006 campaign, she worked with two media buyers named Barbara Abar Bougie and Shelli Hutton-Hartig – two names that would become significant when Bernie’s political ambitions went national.

Bernie Sanders’s insurgent 2016 presidential campaign brought in a huge sum of money. A large chunk of it — nearly $83 million — flowed to a mysterious limited liability company with no website, no phone number, and no office space. Indeed, the LLC was registered to a private home on a cul-de-sac in suburban Virginia.

The mysterious company is called Old Towne Media LLC. Two names connected to the company are Barbara Abar Bougie and Shelli Hutton-Hartig, Jane’s associates from the 2006 campaign.

The Sanders campaign purchased a whopping $82.77 million in political ads through Old Towne Media, which could have earned the company a media fee of more than $12 million, based on the industry standard for ad-buy commissions. Was Jane Sanders somehow involved in this financial arrangement? FEC disclosures make it easy to hide where media buying fees actually go. Jane listed her income from her professional work at the time as simply “more than $1,000.”

When a highly respected Vermont reporter named Jasper Craven, working for the nonprofit VTDigger.com, asked Jane about Old Towne Media during a phone interview, she replied, “I have no idea what Old Towne Media is.” Then she hung up the phone.



Not surprised. This is what socialists are known for. That and mass murder.
What a lying POS

This is why crooked politicians LOVE Socialism!! It always works, just not as advertised!

It's sold to dummies as, "give me your weapons, property and freedoms and you'll be so much better off and the rubes go 'Hell, Yeah!'" Then, the leaders become overnight billionaires and the rubes who thought surrendering their weapons, freedoms and property to the Progressive leaders end up selling their kids and eating their pets.

I used to think Pinochet was a bad guy but when you see what these scumbags just did to Venezuela, a Chavez helicopter ride would have spared the Venezuelan people untold suffering

 

[Brain357]

So how much is he worth?

 

[OldLady]

Bernie rails about taxes and giving to the poor but he doesnt do much charity work and he gets out of paying taxes as much as he can.
He is such a fucking fake

He never became a millionaire until 2016, due to the income from his book. That's only a couple years ago.
Bernie makes no secret of not believing in giving through charities. He wants the government to take responsibility for helping people that need it, not private organizations.

Interesting article here, TN. I'd read it:
Socialism, like Bernie Sanders, is anti-charity

I suspect that bernie was a fire breathing true red commie when he took office

BUt even as a lowly mayor the opportunities for personal enrichment are numerous

the longer politicians remain in office the greedier they tend to become

In washington they grow big ears and a tail and just blend in with the other swamp rats

i know because unfortunately it happens to rock solid conservative republicans too

the Founders were expert judges of human nature and they knew that the least government is the best government

 

[Brain357]

This thread seems scared of facts. I’m finding he is worth 2.5 million. Not a fortune for a guy working deep into his 70s. He’s been a senator for 12 years at $174k a year. He also has years in the house and as a mayor. Plus he’s authored 3 books. By comparison Paul Ryan is 49 and worth $6 million.

 

[two_iron]

Vermont seems to be a land of snowbound sister-fuckers. I can't imagine a wonderful republic like Texas having to be associated with a shithole like that.

Excuse me while I projectile vomit.

 

[gipper]

Well...compared to Hillary, Bernie’s altar boy. Stop with the purity test. All pols are liars and corrupt. It’s a matter of degrees.

Defend your droning authoritarian gipper!
You need my tax dollars right?

That’s funny.

We have an out control government spending trillions on wars and assorted other shit, that harms Americans but enriches the oligarchy. Wars abroad always causes tyranny at home.

You want this to continue. I don’t, but I’m the authoritarian. LMFAO.

Bernie's actually a lot cleaner then McConnell or Ernst to name a few. It's just that he's also got the hypocrite feature. And Biden is run of the mill too. And Trump is in a whole other category of cheating on contracts, but he was never a Senator.

Are you saying (s)he did something illegal with campaign funds?

If you are going to bash the rich for living off the poor, you had better not be engaged in getting rich off the backs of the poor.

That's what aggravates me. I don't see Trump running around saying all rich people are evil, and they shouldn't exist, and they are living off the poor people, and they do not earn their wealth.

I don't see him saying that.

I see Bernie and other left-wingers saying this all the time. "They don't earn their wealth!" And then you see AOC, funneling money to her live-in boy-toy, getting what was it... $200,000 in consulting fees through a front company, and Bernie's wife collecting massive money for what was an unpaid position.

All living off the backs of the poor tax payers.

Hypocrisy never ends with the left-wing.

Bernie isn’t an authoritarian. He knows the programs he is arguing for must pass Congress. How is that authoritarian?

Stop accepting right wing propaganda promoted by the billionaires and globalists.

If you are anti-war, how do you NOT support Bernie? He’s the only anti-war candidate, other than Tulsi.
