"....nothing about Bernies net worth devalues his progressive beliefs,...." Of course not. Say uncle bernie, how many refugees are you putting up at your places? Come on now, you know sharing is caring.

Every retirement advisor in America says you need to retire with a nest egg of at least $1 mil. or you’re SCROOOOOD.
Compared with Hillary’s $300 billion nest egg I am sure this does not concern Dems.

Shhhhhh. Don’t let the moronialls find out that their zero is lyin’ to them.

Pretty good for someone who didn’t enter the workplace until he was forty. Maybe the loot came from his wife- she was involved in some financial scandal at a college but I don’t remember the details.

One of the most amazing features of American political life is the fact a politician is elected to an office paying a salary of about $150,000 per year and leaves office a multimillionaire. Then they wonder why we are learning to hate them.
To: Mr. K
LOL! Used to be “work hard, make something of your life and you can succeed”. Now, just get (s)elected to a high office and coast your entire life.

Back around 1997, Bernie told his fellow travelers he didn’t think people needed to make more than 50,000 per year. That was plenty.

Not so sure the use of the word “workplace” is applicable in this case. :>)

Everything I have seen to date put his net worth at $500K to $700K. If it is, indeed, $2 million, it is not really that big considering he has drawn a congressional salary for more than a quarter century.
Even assuming he spends all his congressional salary and saves his outside income with zero investment return, that is only $80K per year in outside income.
Hillary won't even do a single speech for that type of chicken feed.
So, yes, Bernie is a POS, but a net worth like this is very common for anyone who has been in congress less than 1/3rd the time of Bernie.

$2 Million net worth for a couple close to retirement age is hardly “elite”
Say what you will but there is a network of elites who buy the government, media and law in this country.
Not saying Bernie isn’t owned by them too

$2 mil is not a huge amount to retire on. I’m imagining that a good chunk is equity on his homes. Given average returns on investments these days, that will barely maintain a middle-class standard of living.

Seriously. I almost have to laugh when they start telling us that. But they all do.
To: Vigilanteman
Everything I have seen to date put his net worth at $500K to $700K. If true then my net worth is considerably higher than Bernie's. It's not difficult to build a net worth north of $1m if you work hard and put money aside for investing. Then again, I'm a proud capitalist, not a guilt-ridden socialist.
To: rktman
How does a man who was either a bum or a government employee most of his adult life manage to acquire that much money?

That’s modest for a U.S. Senator after decades in office.
