Bernie Sanders and his wife have on numerous occasions steered money from organizations under their control to friends and family members, public records show.
The payments benefitted the wife of the Democratic presidential candidate, his stepdaughter, and the son of a former colleague in city government whom Sanders has described as a close friend.
Sanders, a self-described socialist, is now running for the presidency on an anti-corruption platform, decrying public officials’ attempts to use their positions for personal financial gain.
Following 16 years as a member of the House, Sanders was elected to the Senate in 2006. His political campaigns were an early vehicle for payments to his family members.

Hey, he’s just spreading the wealth.
shocking ...
Bernie is just doing what socialists do.
Latest stats are his net worth is under $200K, so he’s not even a GOOD greedy hypocrite.
But, but, how can this be.....Bill O’Reilly said last night on his program that Bernie lives as a socialist. He implied that he lives modestly.
Maybe someone could send this to the pinhead, but then again he tells us he know “all”
Huckster and Mittens did the same thing.
“Greedy hypocrite. “
I have only known one leftist in my 61 years that wasn’t greedy.
“Latest stats are his net worth is under $200K, so he’s not even a GOOD greedy hypocrite.”
Correct, but he is a crook, like all good leftists : )
That’s what communists do.
That’s his official worth. The rest could be buried.
If he wins the nomination, he’ll write a book and the campaign and the party will buy every copy. He’ll be instantly rich.
I smell Clinton fingerprints on this one. Whatever Sanders has done is Church Hall Bingo compared to the Clinton Crime Family’s industrial strength Pratt & Whitney jet powered assembly line operation.
It reminds me of the small time handy man in Vermont who got named in a Super Fund site suit in Vermont. He sold his pick up to someone connected to a Super Fund site, and when he foolishly responded to the government’s paperwork, the big boys tried t blame him for everything.
They are inner party members and the normal rules the outer party members and proles have to live under do not apply.
“From each according to his ability to each according to his need.” Bernie’s ability is apparently graft. What a guy!
Socialism, like other forms of Kleptocracy, is a pyramid scheme, a Ponzi-con, where those who are at the top of the pyramid make out very well. IIRC, Stalin’s official salary as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was 5000 Rubles per year. But there was no doubt that he “owned” the Soviet Union. That’s how they think and operate. They don’t give one shit about “little people” any further than using them as lab rats in their social experiment.
Bernie Sanders is no exception.
First rule of commie redistribution of wealth:
1. Start with your own buds :)
