Doesn't bother me but he should redistribute some of that wealth. Why wait for the government?

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.

Why are we concerned with how people spend their inheritances?

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

No one is concerned with his spending. It's his views that he preaches but doesn't follow. Then again that is a tenant of the leftist ideals

Why is Bernie concerned how much a CEO makes?! Or for that matter, how rich is too rich?

So you have a problem with him worrying about what other people have, so to combat that you are worried about what other people have?

Idk. I see a problem with health insurance execs making millions of dollars and getting bonuses for denying coverage. I don't have a problem with health insurance execs inheriting property and selling it.

I think you are missing the point totally. I don't care what anyone makes. I'm for freedom and capitalism and believe that you should be able to make whatever you can.
Bernie on the other hand, has made numerous statements about the rich and how corporations are greedy. All the while, he is amassing his own little nest egg along with 3 houses. It's hypocritical.

His wife inherited property and sold it. How is that hypocritical?

The facts are facts. Wife inherited property and sold it. Bought another property with the proceeds. I don't get how that makes him a hypocrite.

They don't have to be poor. But "millionaire socialist" isn't the most congruent idea.

He could have used that money to help the impoverished.

Let's see how well those countries do when their populations become less homogeneous.

You do understand that your health insurance only covers what you and your insurer mutually agreed upon?

A lovely home on the lake with his spouses money. You could even say its his spouses house but that deflates the meme.
