No, he is spot on with his comments about the rich and how they have laws in their favor to horde money.
Now in the past few days with the "
Panama Papers' leak" it is very evident the man knows what he is talking about and you calling him an idiot makes you the real idiot.
"Sunday’s jaw-dropping “
Panama Papers” leak, which shows a global network of offshore companies helping the wealthy hide their assets, is already being called “
the Wikileaks of the mega-rich."
The hashtag
#panamapapers topped Twitter on Sunday afternoon. Among those reacting through tweets:
Edward Snowden, the 2013 CIA leaker, who said the “Biggest leak in the history of data journalism just went live, and it's about corruption.”
And if you think that the mega rich in this country do not know about or use this to hide their money than the tag of idiot is exponentially increased on your behalf.
Perhaps you folks should learn a bit about nuances and how some statements sound awful when taken out of context (like the thread's title.)
Sanders was making the point that in our country, we give out food stamps to avoid the "food/bread lines" but the inequality of a few rich versus the many, many poor is the same here as it may be in socialist countries. In other words, we manage the visual much better, but the inequality is virtually the same.
Except that is not what he said.... he rambled on about the rich getting all the food.
Sanders is an idiot.
