Before we begin: Is it just me, or does Bernie’s hair look like he combs it with a balloon?
Anyway, aside from being an eccentric self-declared socialist, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders remains among the most hypocritical lawmakers on Capitol Hill — and we’re talking a Very deep bench His net worth is estimated at $3 million. It includes three properties, investments and a significant government pension. He also has earnings from three books including his 2016 bestseller. The Future of Our Revolution: We Believe in It.
“I wrote a best-selling book,” Sanders told the New York Times. “If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too.”
Bernie, how can you not condescend?
Look, I don’t give a damn if Bernie Sanders is worth $3 million, $30 million, or $300 million. And I don’t care how many homes he owns or where they’re located, the asset allocation of his investment portfolio; or anything else about his wealth. This is America. Sanders has the right —as does Each American — to make as much money (legally) as he sees fit, and accumulate as much wealth as he can. Moreover? All of it isn’t my business.
What I do give a damn about is the utter hypocrisy of Sanders and other wealthy leftists, and their propensity to ignoreOder justify their own extravagances every time they vilify “the rich” and spew their silly “fair share” nonsense — as if the left and the left alone is the arbiter of what is fair or Enough. Of course there won’t be. NeverBe sure to have enough cash We earnThat TheyWant to TakeGet more information from us.
Left-wingers are wired to think that all life is zero-sum. This means that the more one person gets or keeps the better, it leaves less for the rest of us to get. The following Bernie tweet from Saturday, in which he whines himself silly about “the billionaire class” and their superyachts, is a perfect example.
The status symbol for the billionaire class is the super-large yacht. They aren’t just the property of Russian oligarchs.
The American Oligarchy, however, spends millions of dollars to buy their yachts. Half our population works from one paycheck.
Nonsense. Sanders attempted to combine two scenarios in an attempt at mutual-inclusivity. He assumed that they must be similar, however, this is not true.
The status symbol for the billionaire class is the super-large yacht. These yachts don’t belong to Russian oligarchs. The American oligarchy, however, spends hundreds of millions of dollars to buy their own yachts.

Naturally, Sanders was immediately skewered. Here are two examples — one, blistering Bernie’s hypocrisy:
Three houses are yours. https://t.co/j9qPeXsdd7

The second example, Bernie’s ignorance; feigned or real:
It’s a high-paying job for those working-class workers who make these yachts. But because you’ve never actually earned a paycheck outside government, or met a payroll, you have a microscopically limited understanding of how the economy actually works.
On the contrary, Sanders and other reasonably intelligent liberals know full well that “working-class people” build and create the expensive things they buy — and everything else. The term is “manufacturing jobs,” Bernie.

Additionally, you can own up to 3 houses.

This is the problem Recognizing the above Out loud is a violation of the left-wing narrative. This destroys the argument of zero-sum. It stops the “100 pennies in a dollar” analogy dead in its tracks.
Again, Bernie Sanders and his fellow leftists know their socialist narrative is a crock of crap — spewed solely with one eye on Democrat poll results and the other eye on the voting booth.
