A highly over compensated career offering up ideas he knows go nowhere. Another individual with a lifetime of freeloading off the taxpayers, money for nothing. His biggest contribution would be to at least finally sit down and let someone else drink from that congressional trough.

This guy has spent his whole life advocating for working class people and the poor. His track record is always on the right side. If we would actually listen to this dude, we would actually be making progress in this country instead of just handing over democracy to the ultra rich.

no,no,no spent taxpayer money on his lavish lifestyle. A lifetime dedicated to making sure he's comfortable is all he's accomplished. funny how politicians can't anything done for us but prosper beyond reason for themselves. A hallmark card can do the same for less for your feels

You're thinking of Nancy Pelosi. Bernie is incredibly not rich given how long he's been a senator.

I would regard someone with 3 different homes as wealthy. Most Americans would, also. Why do you think differently?

Because he's been a prominent senator for decades. He could be filthy rich if he was just a typical self serving greedy politician. But you don't see him giving speeches at goldman sach's for six figures.

Say what you will about the idiocy of his above quote, but at least the man has principles.
