Sanders Asks How Many Yachts Billionaires Need, Twitter Asks How Many Houses He Needs

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) asked Twitter on Friday how many yachts and cars billionaires need to be satisfied, writing that they "can't have it all."

The former presidential candidate is a self-declared socialist who frequently criticizes millionaires and billionaires. He even abhors the idea that Americans can choose 23 types of deodorant when there are hungry children in the country.

Sanders' leftist beliefs go back to when he was young. In 1971, Sanders was asked to leave a hippie commune because he talked about politics and the glories of socialism all day instead of working. When he married in 1988, Sanders took his wife to the Soviet Union for their honeymoon.

It should not be surprising, therefore, that Sanders tweeted out his disdain for successful Americans having the ability to spend their money how they want.

How many yachts do billionaires need? How many cars do they need? Give us a break. You can't have it all.

Bernie doesn’t believe in money.

Which is why he asked for Real Estate.

The general public is just too dumb to understand Bernie’s logic and politics, and form of governance.

Under communism, which is just another form of socialism, those at the top are allowed to be “more equal” than the population at large.

Does he not make the obvious connection that without those with money buying cars and yachts (and lake homes, for that matter, Bernie), that there would be far fewer jobs for the middle classes? Demand creates jobs, and with jobs, those lower classes might be able to save and provide a better life for themselves, their families, and their communities.

It's not all about you, Bernie.

In both cases, apparently, the answer is "At least three."

The better question is how many jobs are created building a yacht.

You can either spend a $million and hire people to build one, or give a $million to the government so they can pay those same people to sit on their ass and collect welfare.

In the first case you at least get something for your money.

In the second, there is nothing produced for that money.

But they libtards will say “well those people will buy stuff with that million”- OK but they could buy that same stuff if they got pad for the JOB of building the boat, and at least would have WORKED and PRODUCED something.

“But some of them can’t work...” (this is how libtards continue to argue even after you’ve made your point)

OK WELL THOSE PEOPLE WHO CANT WILL SIT ON THEIR ASS ANYWAY... Those are the ones who NEED welfare- but the ones who CAN work SHOULD work, don’t you agree??????

Sanders is NO DIFFERENT from some re-hashed Nazi pushing the virtues of the 3rd Reich.

Both are failed, 19th century, collectivist ideologies with a long legacy of death destruction and humiliation to humanity.

Why Sanders gets respect from some for his ideals is beyond my understanding.

I wonder how many times Sanders has been on John Kerry’s luxury flotation device.

Socialist leadership is special.

“Comrades!' he cried. 'You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.”

― George Orwell, Animal Farm

Of course he doesn’t, he’s a communist. They believe in “command and supply” not “supply and demand”.

Bernie is a Marxist, and he is just channeling his inner statist D-bag: "From everyone according to their abilities. To everyone according to their needs"

I think it was in the 1980s the liberal congresscritters went after the "boating public" with all sorts of taxes and fees.

A number of small boat manufacturers went out of business.

IMHO, it was the Kennedys et al that wanted fewer obstructions around for them to hit, not to mention getting in their way.

As noted above, Bernie <==> Animal Farm
