You think Bernie Sanders has a Ferrari or something?

Edit: Multiple supercars? really?



I may be wrong about his car (I read previously that he had multiple sports cars - sorry, not "super" cars). He still has multiple homes and will sell you tickets to dinners and books to tell you how bad capitalism is.

And even if I happen to be wrong about the cars... he still has multiple cars, multiple houses and has the balls to talk about inequality.

Never forget that Bernie hated "millionaires" until he became one... then MAGICALLY his tune changed to hate "the rich" even though by every metric he's in the top %'s and has done so by... using capitalism to sell the lies of socialism/communism.

Bernie is the epitome of socialist: Hypocrite that doesn't follow his own religious preaching because he's one the elite who think's he's better than "evil capitalists".

When Bernie voluntarily gives his millions to the IRS to redistribute to the poor? Then we'll move past my mistake about how fancy his car(s) are. because at the end of the day he talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. He's a walking banner of inequality that doesn't follow the rules he preaches.

The mark of the truly religious - both on him for being a hypocrite... and his faithful for ignoring his hypocrisy and "sins".


Sanders has three houses and net worth of 2 million dollars.


He has a house in Vermont, a one-bedroom apartment in DC, and a lakefront cabin. For an upper middle class octogenarian, that's completely unremarkable. Most American software engineers could easily do the same by middle age.


What does this have to do with America or software engineers?


Another thing that can be added is that you aren't paying VISA 2% of the purchase when paying in cash.


Oh no! The wealthy won't be able to fly private anymore? Why even continue to live, right?


> One answer is to not have pedestrians. As the suburbs do.

That's such and absurd suggestion I'm surprised you felt it worth writing, not to mention there are still plenty of pedestrians even in the suburbs.


It’s no more absurd than the suggestions in this thread that people only need small vehicles while ignoring the realities of why many people actually do need large vehicles.


> That's such and absurd suggestion

It's not absurd at all, which is why it's interesting to watch people who have never fathomed this try to come to grips with it.

There is so much of this country completely unserved by sidewalks, busses, or cycling infrastructure. And it's fine. It works.


Most cities are blue cities


When people talk about free healthcare, you understand what they mean, right? They're not enslaving doctors...

It's the same in this case.


So, like only have PBS? That could be better for society I guess, TV is a bit waste of time after all, but I think it won’t satisfy all current streaming service users.
