Bernie Sanders rails about the wealthy. About wealth distribution, etc. But he is among the top 5% of wealthy Americans. How is he anything but hypocritical?

I'm looking for a legitimate answer, not just Sanders-bashing.

Thanks.

Because he spent his whole young life as rich as most of his supporters, and you could say he was the original Bernie Bro

Socialism is an ideology that fuels class hatred to justify the seizing of wealth and the enrichment of the political class. It's a con.

So basically he’s just like every other socialist/communist leader in history

He’s a lying scumbag.

Same reason railing against the climate and flying on private jets...

Same reason about railing about gun control when they are surrounded by armed guards...

It is "do as I say"... They are not one of the people, nor do they want to be...

The richest woman in Venezuala is Hugo Chavez's daughter. She's worth about 3.5 billion USD. 3.5 billion in a socialist country. 3.5 billion in a socialist country pretending to champion equality for all. That is the type of socialism the likes of Bernie and AOC want to practice.

I believe he use to rail against millionaires. But that ended when he became one. Therefore, billionaires need to just wait till he becomes one of them than it will become a rage against trillionaires.

Is his wife still his campaign “media buyer”? Making 15%-18% commission on millions of purchases? Nice little campaign funneling scheme, Bernie.

I’ll use Bernie’s words, that’s immoral.

Oh, he hates big business, put his portfolio is fully invested in Fortune 500 companies. Weird
