| How do politicians get wealthy? |
A lot of those book sales were from campaign money. $445,000 worth. So one of those homes was bought with the hard-earned $27 from tens of thousands of his supporters. https://www.greenmountaindaily.com/2019/04/25/bernies-own-book-of-the-month-lub/ |
Truly inspiring. |

According to FEC filings, the Sanders campaign bought thousands of dollars of his books. Sanders spent almost $445,000 of his donors’ campaign funds with Verso Books, the publisher of Outsider in the White House, which was a quick re-working of his earlier Bernie book: Outsider in the House. I mentioned the purchase in a diary: Campaign dollars to donuts back then without really taking aim at it; I don’t recall it making any waves in that long campaign.

It's not too much, but it's too much for a socialist. Bernie is a hypocrite. |
| So what you’re saying is, he’s poor by DCUM standards. |
He could donate some of it. He is in the top 5 percent of close to it yet donates very little. |
The point you are missing is how hypocritical he is |
+1 The guy started out on welfare. He then was kicked out of a hippie camp due to laziness. He is a career politician who has nothing to show for. His entire life was supported by public dough. He only produces hot air. |
What exactly is hypocritical about it? |
Capitalism rocks, if you are in a position of power - you can inflict socialism on the people while rocking capitalism yourself. |
You can say the same thing about Trump. How many times has Bernie declared bankruptcy? |
