(HAT TIP BEN SHAPIRO) .....the problem for Democrats is that the Democratic Party now treats wealth itself as an indicator of immorality.
This week, Sanders tweeted, “Together, we are going to end the greed of the billionaire class.” Never mind that creating tens of billions of dollars in value via voluntary exchange, employing tens of thousands of people, and providing goods and services to millions is far less indicative of greed than living as a taxpayer-funded, parasitical, self-styled revolutionary for six decades. The size of Bloomberg’s bank account makes him morally suspect in the world of the modern Democratic Party.
There’s a reason former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg keeps telling debate crowds that he’s the poorest candidate running, as though lack of financial success is a tremendous indicator of governing ability. As Trevor Noah recently joked, being called a wealthy person is, for “progressive white people ... like being called the N-word.”
This represents the reversal of the American dream: We should all aspire to government dependency, patting our own backs for our altruism while drawing on the public dime. After all, if wealth is sin, then chiding the wealthy while living off of them is sainthood. That’s the Democratic line going into 2020. We’ll see soon enough whether Americans are willing to give up the true American dream in favor of yelling at billionaires.
#NotMeUs ?
Hardly.
Bernie is set with his Dachas and millions gotten already and will be shielded from massive income tax hikes in his wealth redistribution scheme.
It will be #NotMeYou
Besides, he thinks everyone has a second home.
Did a recent test with 2 young hospital technicians when they let me know a tetanus shot may not be covered by Medicare.

Realization. You can be taxed on a tax, and Free isn’t free even when you have paid all your life.
An eye opener and a test that should be required before you can pass High School.
What “camp”?
You know what I would LOVE to see? Hillary enter the race and once again steal the nomination from this idiot LOL!
Bernie is a criminal leftist who uses government to enrich himself. I trust his run for President destroys the democrat party to a point that it takes years to recover.
JoMa
Shouldn’t he be giving two of his houses to the gummit?
B.S. has done alright for a loser.

Once Reparations begin Bernie will have to give up his mansions and millions!!!!!!!!!!
