Bernie, the socialist is making over a million for second year in a row and in 2016 he got another home added to the two mansions he already owned.

Socialism works well if your Name is Bernie Sanders. Cadillac health included.

Socialism usually works well for those pulling the levers and not so much for the unwashed masses who go without food and toilet paper

the most interesting thing about Bernie's newfound wealth is he isn't sharing it. he donated only 4% of his income to charity in 2014. did he donate to charity this year? His spokesman wouldn't say. bernie did buy a third house, however.

condemning capitalism has proved to be a profitable venture. Bernie has joined Michael moore, norm chomsky, and other socialist millionaires who have found preaching socialism in a capitalist system is a great way to get rich.

His speaking fees are usually sent to charities that deal with the nation's destitute.

The income from the book he wrote might go somewhere else, who knows. But to call the cabin that was bought a mansion is truly ridiculous.

You are aware that the cabin he bought was traded for the old cabin they inherited from his wife's parents right?

Yes, just look at Cuba for an example. The Castros lived pretty well while the average Cuban drove around in a '57 Chevy held together with wire and duct tape.

Do the workers own the means of production in Cuba? The workers have full freedom and control over their work place? Thats what socialism means.

Amazing !!! Who knew being poor would be so richly rewarded. No wonder Burnie is for the poor.

Only in America can we have welfare millionaires who will give away free stuff. Your stuff.
