Socialist Sanders buys $600,000 home lakefront property on island)

The post-election season has been very, very good for wealth redistribution, raging against income inequality, free stuff for all, conveniently Democrat, and hypocritical – or typical – Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (Evil 1%-Vt.).

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the proud new owner of a summer home in the Champlain Islands, Seven Days has confirmed.

The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero. 

Sanders’ new crib has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the east side of the island — facing Vermont, not New York. The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally.

Sanders also owns a home in high-priced Washington, D.C.  Let's see...that means he owns three homes – at least.  

Yeah, I was surprised, too.

To paraphrase F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Socialists live very differently from the rest of us, whom they plunder to enrich themselves.

Penniless layabout ne’er do well communist goes to Congress and socks away enough of the people’s money to buy three houses...and buys the third house right after he shakes hands with Clinton and leaves the Democrat party. Right. Nothing to see here.

That’s OK, Bernie. You can just rent it out to the Muslim
“migrants” when they come and get your Commie self a
bigger house more befitting your social position as a
Clinton groupie.

Uh, $600,000 is not very much. This seems like a story in search of a controversy.

I don't begrudge Bernie having a lakefront home (in addition to his two other homes.) I think the story here is his hypocrisy. He portrayed himself as a man of modest means, someone who opposes the capitalist system, but then is more than willing to avail himself of the fruits of that same system he claims to despise.

‘cuz, you see, the article says 500 feet of beachfront. Actually, another article mentions “The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero.” Aha, a camp! with 500 feet of lakefront!

I think that narrows things down to one.
