1.Always a treat when the Leftists stick their hooves into their mouths…and Bernie Sanders, savant of socialism, did just that when questioned about being a millionaire.
“Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders – known for railing against the super-rich – is now a millionaire himself, and shared his moneymaking secrets with America. Sanders was flooded with accusations of hypocrisy in return.
Bernie Sanders, currently a top contender for the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency next year, is not a man usually associated with wealth. Indeed, the Vermont Senator has lobbied for higher taxes on “millionaires and billionaires”for his near four-decade political career,…”
‘Write a book, you can be a millionaire too’ – Bernie Sanders shares get-rich advice
2. “Dan Bongino Retweeted Twitter Moments Is there a bigger fraud in politics than Bernie Sanders? This fraud spends the entirety of his waking hours lashing out at successful millionaires he’s never met while reluctantly having to acknowledge he’s a millionaire too. This guy is a Lt. General in the fraud brigade."

3. David Mamet: “In the free market, every man, woman and child is scheming to find a better way to make a product or service that will make a fortune!”
Looks like Bernie got the message, too.
4. But, to begin at the beginning, the basic difference between free markets, capitalism, and enterprise and the socialism, communism, and utopian views of hypocrites like Bernie, is a view of property. For Leftists, property is theft….unless it’s their property in question.
5. A half-century before Karl Marx published the Communist Manifesto, there was Gracchus Babeuf’s Plebeian Manifesto, which was later renamed the Manifesto of the Equals. Babeuf’s early (1796) work has been described as socialist, anarchist, and communist, and has had an enormous impact. He wrote: “The French Revolution was nothing but a precursor of another revolution, on which will be bigger, more solemn, and which will be the last…We reach for something more sublime and more just: the common good or the community of goods! Nor more individual property in land: the land belongs to no one. We demand, we want, the common enjoyment of the fruits of the land: the fruits belong to all.” Here, then, are the major themes of socialist theory. From a speech by Rev. Robert A. Sirico, President, Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty.
6. “The “Babouvistes,” as they were known, were the first modern revolutionary communist movement, …. they argued, “miseries and slavery are consequences of inequality, which is itself the result of property. Property is, therefore, the greatest scourge on society; it is a veritable public crime.” All differences in wealth are unearned — they accrue by the exploitation of others, or by the accident of naturally endowed strengths and talents — and therefore are undeserved.” Reading Paine From the Left
If ownership of anything, ‘property,’ is actually the fruits of one’s own labor….how does the state come to own them???
And….if Bernie the Hypocrite and Ocasio the Moron see the state as entitled to take your property and assign it to those “unwilling to work,” as she wrote in the Green New Deal…..
….what is the explanation other than the socialist leaders simply out to steal what others have?
