Man of the people Bernie Sanders buys third home!

"If he so leftist, then how come money?" — Smart Man on Internet

Socialists have to be poor? What did I miss?

I own two houses at 36 and never made six figs so what's the problem?

Sanders has been a senator since 2007 I believe.

Even your article says they bought the house with inheritance money. I'm lost as to how this troubles anyone.

My parents have 4 houses and they are not rich.

My sister-in-law has one house and it is paid four. It's worth at least 1.5 million. She is rich, her and her husband works for the federal government and they are related to aextremely conservative (R) state senator.

Damn millionaire and billionaires

$600,000 – more than three times the median American home price.

I knew this stat was off, but in checking it out I was surprised to learn FRED reports US median home pricing to be $308K. ( LINK)

...of a home his wife inherited.

Isn't inheritance one of the Seven Deadly Sins in Bernie World?

I still think that owning 3 homes and preaching about the rich is akin to Al Gore telling us about cutting carbon while jetting around the world and owning multiple energy guzzling homes. It's simply hypocritical.

Not bad for someone who has never worked a day in his life.
