This article is cute!
For someone who brings such balancing ideas to “still” be worth 25 times the average net worth of an American citizen!!! If Bernie was so anti-capitalism (as he claims to be), then maybe he wouldn’t have told people that WRITING a book was the right idea to create “wealth”. To a schmuck, like myself, that sounds extremely CAPITALISTIC!
Mr. Sanders, like so many politicians, wants everyone to practice what HE preaches, and then gets agitated when people take a look and say, “What?”
