Bernie Sanders: government should confiscate all wealth over $999 million

No billionaires at all! Not American ones, at least. That’s the newly proclaimed policy of Bernie Sanders, who most definitely is not challenging the Democrats to nominate him for president in 2024, as he did in 2020. Nope, Bernie is perfectly comfortable with the policies being followed by President Biden’s handlers.

Presumably, in exchange for not rocking the boat as he did in 2020, forcing the party’s controllers to pick an already senescent Joe Biden just because he was easy to control with all these bribes that could be exposed when needed (cough! Stay tuned as Biden’s desire for re-election now appears to be a kamikaze mission), Bernie has assurances that the hard left vector will continue no matter who is leading the party as presidential nominee in 2024.

Watch as Bernie defines ”enough” to Chris Wallace of CNN:

WALLACE: “Sir, you’re saying that billionaires should not exist. So, are you basically saying that once you get to $999 million, that the government should confiscate all the rest?”

SANDERS: “I’m saying that we should go back to a very progressive tax policy like what we had under Dwight D. Eisenhower.”

WALLACE: “Which would mean that — that — over a billion, basically it all goes to the government?”

SANDERS: “You may disagree with me, but — fine, yeah, I think people can make it on $999 million.”

Moody’s ratings are a bit more cryptic than being spoon-fed from, say, some pundit video. But, worth it IMHO to those that want to dig deeper into what’s going on.

A Moody’s account is free, just requires an email, and then gives access to the whole site.
