Socialist Bernie admits he's super-rich. "I wrote a best-selling book"

[Text Drivers are Killers]

I suspect the money came from accepting bribes but whatever, there is no way a socialist can rationalize being a millionaire. He can live very well off his salary as senator and should have given the book proceeds to the poor.

April 10 2019 (CNN)Bernie Sanders is (finally) going to release his tax returns. But questions over how he handles his wealth in the context of his campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination remain. And the early returns should be concerning to Sanders' backers.

Reminded by the Times reporter that he is now someone of considerable means, Sanders retorted: "I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too."

Then there is the broader problem of Sanders' wealth as it relates to his core campaign message that "millionaires and billionaires" have cornered far too much wealth and power in this country -- and need to be reined in by a more activist federal government. Now that Sanders is one of those "millionaires and billionaires," it could complicate that message -- and his appeal as the underfunded outsider taking on the monied interested in Washington.

Post a verifiable statement from any reputable Democrat, liberal, or European democratic socialist that states there should be no rich people and everyone should make the same amount of money.

Bernie is not rich compared to Trump and his administration. He wrote a couple of successful books that made him a million bucks. When they go out of print, his money will slide back where it was before.

HAHAHA. That is really lame. Even you know it's indefensible for someone to call themselves a champion of the poor while they themselves are super-rich.

There's no such thing as a reputable Democrat, Liberal, or European democratic socialist.

Bernie's just another example of a do as I say not as I do socialist. If he truly cared about the things he says should be done, he'd personally do it before demanding others be forced to do it.

It's clear people that do believe in it don't practice what they preach.

You're being stupid again, weenie. Who do you think runs a lot of these charities we got here?

Sure we can. Having rich people is fine, but they should be taxed more so that we can pay for social programs.
We can still have wealth and incentive in a Socialist society.

Bill Gates is a billionaire who has given 90% of his earnings to charity. He also thinks the 1% (which he belongs to) should have to pay more taxes.
You wouldn't call him a champion of the poor?

How come Bernie didn't give his book away for free?
