MONTPELIER, Vt. — Sen. Bernie Sanders has pushed hard for transparency on U.S. trade and campaign finance, but has been far less aggressive in disclosing his own personal finances.

Now his wife and campaign confidante, Jane O'Meara Sanders, is defending the senator's decision not to file a candidate personal finance disclosure and talking about the purchase of a new vacation home.

Btw those “progressive” New Yorkers bought all the houses around Lake Champlain and then generated thousand of pages of environmental rules and regulations to make sure none of the “riff raff” could live anywhere near the lake (which of course created a huge increase in value for their houses).

Dirtbags and hypocrites.

We can still wonder where the “capital” came from for Bernie’s home

Wonder no Longer:

Mrs Bern has a (small) company that handled all of Bernie's publicity and advertising....

Complete with a big "facilitating fee"

It’s always the same for hardcore Marxists: they get the best dachas and are immune to any and all calls for public disclosure.

Clearly, many Americans didn’t know this.

The Soviets always had nicely stocked stores and no lines for the party leaders.
The masses had long lines and empty shelves.
Bernie knows his place and is just emulating his heroes.

I knew more than a few of these usurpers back in the mid seventies through the mid eighties as I met them in various work situations. They had two addresses, here in NY and up in Vermont. Probably voted in both places via absentee ballot in one state. They spoke of their “ progressive “ vacation communities up in Vermont and back then I thought nothing of it. Only in the past decade or so that it hit home.
I refuse to have Ben and Jerry’s ice cream in my home.

Hopefully the little people on the left will learn from this.

Yes, it brings back memories of the old Soviet and Eastern Europe Communist days. Too bad America (most of it) does not even know that history nor the fact that communists are us now.

Yes they did and yes he is. Too bad the same thing is happening here now and very few give a peep.

OH OF COURSE! Sorry not a Sean Penn fan ever.

By the way, is Hugo Chavez still in power? I did read that the masses in Venezuela are starving (eating horses)...so I would imagine he still is there. So sad for these people. Surely they have the strength to overthrow that Marxist regime. But, then, we have to see if America has the strength to throw out our own Islamo-Terrorist-Marxist elite.

Yes, after all the national treasure and the lives of fine men we lost battling that noxious philosophy, it’s more than a little ironic we’ve become the foremost exemplars in the world of communist worldview.

The kids now (everyone under forty) have no clue.

Rod Serling, call your office....
