Lifestyles of the rich and socialist: Bernie Sanders has 3 houses, makes millions

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., entered the 2020 presidential race this week promising to transform America with a left-wing vision of economic and environmental justice. But the self-described democratic socialist’s high-end income, multiple houses and fondness for air travel have already opened him up to criticism that his lifestyle doesn't always match the rhetoric.

"Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice," he said.

"Together you and I and our 2016 campaign began the political revoution," he said. "Now it is time to complete that revolution and implement the vision that we fought for."

But Sanders has raised eyebrows over his spending and personal wealth. Notably, he owns three houses. In 2016, he bought a $575,000 four-bedroom lake-front home in his home state. This is in addition to a row house in Washington D.C., as well as a house in Burlington, Vermont.

“The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally,” Vermont’s Seven Day’s reported in 2016.

Fake Socialist..........

[ETL]

Every prominent democrat, socialist and/or communist is a fake.

[Dr. Ursus]

They’ re called Dacha’s!

[dowcaet]

Comrade Sanders is doing well by capitalism, isn’t he?

[blueunicorn6]

Impossible.

Bernie yearns to pull turnips at Turnip Commune #34 with Alexandria Whatsherteeth.

Comrade Sanders was elected President in 2020, the last year elections were held. 7 years later he was asked about the starvation problem facing 4/5 of his country this winter. His answer: ‘What problem?’

"Together, together, my friends, we have begun a political revolution to transform America, and that revolution, our revolution, continues!"

--Bernie Sanders

At the SOTU speech that commie creep sat on his hands when the President said we were born free and will remain free. He clealy has a problem with American freedom. Everyone should see that if they missed it. He’s an evil commie SOB.

Fake Socialist.......... No, perfect communist! In the perfect communist situation there are the haves at the top and everyone else at the bottom working to insure the top is comfortable, and Bernie is very very comfortable doing absolutely no work.

I’ve heard that Chavez and Castro have done well in socialist countries.

[V_TWIN]

HEY YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

[Blood of Tyrants]

He wants to redistribute YOU money, not his. See why that is better?

[Blood of Tyrants]

If you mean insider trading, kickbacks, and bribes, yes.

[Huskrrrr]

Perhaps a good time to remind everyone that Congress exempts itself from most laws passed.

“Most of that income – $885,767 – came from cash advances and royalties for his 2016 book, “Our Revolution,” which recounted the Sanders’ failed bid for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.”

WTF? Did THAT many people buy that piece of fiction? Looking at Amazon, he’s only got 805 reviews with a listing at #21,647 for bestsellers. And nice title there Mr. Castro Jr. “Our revolution” Yeah, take your “revolution” and shove it up your a-s

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Sounds familiar....

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yep, and a dangerous one at that as he has a lot of media and university brainwashed zombie followers. It really is a kind of Jim Jones Kool aid cult, they are following an idiot who would utterly destroy their lives if he ever came to power.

Lifestyles of the rich and socialist: Bernie Sanders has 3 houses, makes millions

Socialism is a system of aristocratic privilege and a court society. Aristocratic privilege does not contradict the principles of socialism, but is a natural consequence of them. Every individual is the means to the ends of society. And since the ends of society are determined by the rulers, they are the same as the ends of the rulers, And so, the individual is the means to the ends of the rulers.

And the ends of the rulers are determined by the needs of the rulers. And what the rulers need is prestige, military strength, and amusement.

This creep is an absolute TURD
