You poor saps. You went to bed with Bernie, and woke up with Hillary.
I know to you he was an anomaly, a phenomenon, a kooky Brooklyn socialist who told it like it was. But, let me tell you who this kooky Brooklyn socialist really is and was. Growing up in Brooklyn as I did, people like Bernie were a dime a dozen. Every street corner, temple, and laundromat has a Bernie.
The older and older I got, the less I found what Bernie said to be cute or funny. I started finding it rude to interrupt people while they were talking, rude to scream at the rabbi about free lunch while he was speaking. I realized that Bernie screamed so much that his screams became silent. I realized that all those meals after temple were paid for by hardworking people. I realized that the lights and air conditioning weren’t free. I realized that those that couldn’t afford the dues were given scholarships by the people Bernie was mocking. And most of all, I realized that the loudest mouth in the room was one of those that was given those scholarships. That’s when I realized who the cool people in the room really were.
I dare you, right now, to tell me one revolutionary thing Bernie has done other than revolt. You think Bernie is a tough guy sticking it to the man, but no, Bernie is the guy that gets from the man, then complains that it’s not enough. The only thing that separates your Bernie and my Bernie is that mine retired to Del Boca Vista, and yours found a tiny town in Vermont that found his shtick amusing.

According to the news last night, the money came from his wife's family and the proceeds from the prior sale of a property in Maine. I wonder if that home, plus the other two they own, were included in Bernie's reported net worth....

Sanders' wife defends non-disclosure, vacation home buy
August 18, 2016


https://www.yahoo.com/news/sanders-wife ... ction.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

From the article:
Jane Sanders said she and her husband paid cash — $575,000 — for the four-bedroom summer house they recently bought in North Hero, Vermont, on the Lake Champlain shore. She said she sold her share of her family's long-time vacation home in Bridgton, Maine, to her brother for $150,000, added some money from her retirement account and from an advance her husband got on a book he is writing to come up with the money to buy the couple's third home.

They also own property in Burlington, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.

I'm sure Bernie, and many in his net worth/income/congressional retirement bracket, doesn't consider himself "rich". He's just "comfortable common folk". Rich is Bill Gates, rich is Warren Buffet, rich is Jerry Seinfeld. Rich is just about everyone else in the Senate. Rich is someone, anyone else but Bernie. Which is why socialism is a bad idea. It is founded on everyone thinking they deserve no more than anyone else, but as we see time and time again, it turns out they only think other folks should be equal, certainly not themselves.

Capitalism embraces our need to dream, to build, to keep (mostly) the fruits of our labor. Socialism is a lie where you make believe you will give all the fruits of your labor away, in exchange for everyone else making believe they will give away theirs.
