Thought that the conclusion of the 2016 election would bring back a semblance of sanity from the left? Think again. Vermont's very own Senator and outspoken socialist just Tweeted, then deleted, this:
That's right. Bernie Sanders actually believes that U.S. treats poor and working-class citizens worse than any other country on earth. Does he really think that's because the American voters just won't buy into socialism?
Last I checked, in socialist Nicolas Maduro's Venezuela, it costs $150 to buy a carton of eggs. Is this really what Bernie wants?
Note to Bernie Sanders: Claiming that America treats the poor worse than any other country is an insult to the plight of the suffering. Especially in countries like North Korea, Venezuela, or heck... maybe the 23 other countries, where a majority of the population lives beneath the poverty line.
That’s why we have all those illegals and illegal “dreamers, Bernie?
I guess Bernie hasn’t been to Mumbai-———he might want to rent “Slumdog Millionaire”.
What a damned jerk-——all safe and comfy in very white Vermont.
.
No African nation struggles with fat poor people.
Either Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams told a great story.
He said If God told you you were destined to be poor all your life, but you could choose which country to be poor in, which would you choose.
Americans have luxuries that poor African tribesnen could only dream that Kings have.
This old ignoramus has been insulting America for days now.
Damn Bernie, after 8 years of Obama we are still the w0rst?
He can always give the poor some of his money.
And a pretty good safety net depending on the state. America is a generous country to its poor and the int’l poor. Sanders is a phony bastard with - how many houses now?
I guess he realized our “poor” have more material goods than any other poor nation. And don’t forget our food stamps will buy sodas and lots of chips.
Wonder how that $600K house that Hillary bought for him is working out.
Someone strip this old hipster of his credit cards and ID and drop him in Venezuela
Please
We have the fattest poor people on earth
In some countries that are really poor, they’d be on the menu
And bling. Lots of bling. And newer cars than working stiffs.
Most Americans can’t afford to visit those places because of Sanders-like taxes! I’d love to visit India and China! Brazil, not so much.
Gee, no wonder the Dims connived to deny this yakov the nomination
It is the worst for the poor. It’s harder to stay poor in the USA than most places.
Here, it’s too easy to not be poor. In the USA you have a better chance of leaving poverty than just about anywhere in the world.
At least it will soon become that way again now that the socialist has left office and his “work” will be purged.
I agree, but you don't have to go there physically. You can go on YouTube; there are countless videos about India and Brazil, that show ordinary life there. China not so much, because you can get in trouble if you just go around shooting video.
I've watched many videos about Brazil. There are some that are made by young people who are just visiting there, or spending a school year there, that are very interesting.
The India videos are a real eye-opener.
I saw one where they show a skyscraper — maybe 25 stories high &mdash that's owned by a software billionaire in Mumbai. It's his private residence. It's just for his family. It has several swimming pools on different floors, but is surrounded by slums.
It includes a garage for dozens of luxury cars.

I should have proofread better.
Ya right Bernie;
that’s why they are coming here illegally by the millions.
I adore Indian cuisine and certain aspects of their culture - it must be my long-ago English imperialist genes! I watch Indian films (non-Bollywood) movies all the time. And now that I live in the largest Indian immigrant population in America, I can go to Hindu stores and buy gorgeous knick-knacks and cheap spices until I’m exhausted. I also live near two amazing Chinese grocery stores and buy exotic produce and poultry and meat. I’ve never been drawn to South America for some reason. Don’t know why.
That said, Bernie is a miserable creep of a man who hates Lady America but treats her like a cheap whore.
A friend and I were talking about this the other day. People here have all of those things, a roof over their heads, food to eat, clothes to wear, and family/friends to love. Even in the back woods of nowhere, people have satellite dishes, etc. This country does not know what poor is.
This senile, old fart needs to retire gracefully. He is clearly deranged and going over the edge.
