Bernie Sanders has never held a real job......he has lived off of the government his entire life....and now, through government service, he is a millionaire....but he knows how you should live your life, and how much money you should keep...for your family and needs....
"Millionaire" Bernie Sanders.....a typical government socialist.....
Bernie Sanders: Yeah, I'm a millionaire. What about it?
And needless to say, the fact that Sanders and Moore were able to monetize their politics didn’t require them to keep the money. The point of democratic socialism, I thought, was to confiscate wealth being hoarded by the upper classes and put it to higher use by improving the lives of the poor. Sanders and Moore could better some lives right now with their nest eggs, whether through charity or donation to some government’s treasury. There’s no reason why they should wait until Congress passes an across-the-board tax hike on the rich forcing them to disgorge, which for all we know might still be decades or centuries away. It reeks of excuse-making. If you want to show the upper class that they can live just fine on modest wealth, actually show them.
