Well, nothing happens to them if they don’t pay their income taxes, and we pay for their travel and health insurance for starters. If we on FR didn’t have to pay for any of these things for ourselves we wouldn’t be mega millionaires but we certainly might have some extra money left at the end of the month.
Bernie’s wife was a president of some university....probably pulling in a minimum of $300k a year during that seven-year period. If she banked it and invested the right way (they probably gave her a place on campus to live)....she would have had a million just sitting around. And Bernie’s pension is a five-star deal for a sixty-five year old guy.
