Sanders has raised eyebrows over his spending and personal wealth. Notably, he owns three houses. In 2016, he bought a $575,000 four-bedroom lake-front home in his home state. This is in addition to a row house in Washington D.C., as well as a house in Burlington, Vermont.
VTDigger reported in May that he made more than $1 million in 2017 – $885,767 of which came from cash advances and royalties for his book, “Our Revolution” on his failed 2016 presidential bid. It’s the second time he made roughly that amount, making more than a million in 2016 also.
But other parts of his lifestyle are also drawing scrutiny, specifically when compared to his calls to limit environmental pollution and also to redistribute the wealth of the “millionaires and billionaires.”
In October, he spent nearly $300,000 on air travel so he could speak to audiences in nine battleground states before the November midterms. This from a candidate who has endorsed a Green New Deal that seeks to dramatically reduce (if not eliminate entirely) air travel.
The same day his campaign paid the jet company, Sanders called climate change a "planetary crisis" in a tweet.
Sanders has no problem raising his own taxes. This proves he walks the walk.

If Bernie is elected and discharges my student loans, gives me Medicaid that is paid for by taxes and is there whether I work or not, I will vote for him and then stockpile guns because that would definitely end the US.

It's coming down sooner than later no matter what we do at this point. You should already be stockpiled up to your balls.

>There is nothing wrong with me spending money on surplus property goyim, in fact i can say i justifiably did so by taking your money because if you are willing to waste money on a book in which the core message is some bogus idealism then you are probably a plutocrat and therefore of a higher economic background than me, you should feel glad goyim! you made one of your inferiors stand up to your level! kudos to you! scmucks
