cwithorn If you want him to be less rich, vote for him so he raises his own taxes!
cwithorn *Democratic Socialist. don't feed the GOP, you know what you're doing
cwithorn The only DemocRAT with the juice for ADOS reparations
cwithorn 2.5 million is not a fortune. Lol
cwithorn Cheat, lie, steal from the American tax payer just like all of our representatives in Washington!
cwithorn You’re better than this Forbes. Or you should be.
cwithorn Just 2.5 Mil? No wonder he wants to become president.🙄
cwithorn I thought for a second that it was a typo !! 2.5 million .. a fortune ... what year are we in... 1923
cwithorn Uh that’s not a fortune for a 70 y/o
cwithorn $2.5 million dollar fortune? The guys old. I’m sure there are many people that have good paying jobs that have saved that much money at Bernie’s age.
cwithorn Forbes does know the difference between 'Socialism' and Democratic Socialist. You realize people can live in a capitalist system, make money and still critique that system, correct? Bernie supports taxing people in the 1% at higher tax rates, including him.
cwithorn
cwithorn Give it all back Bernie Bonkers
cwithorn
cwithorn He’s like a hundred years old and white. It would be pretty much impossible for him to have less than 2.5 mil.
cwithorn How is $2.5 million a fortune?
cwithorn He earned the money working and that’s okay. What drives me crazy is that all and every leftie has great plans on how to spend other people’s money.
cwithorn Corruption
cwithorn exactly
cwithorn Lol acting like 2.5 mil is some crazy rich number. Surprisingly low imo
cwithorn Wait. Whaaaaaaaaat? Why didn’t BernieSanders divide it up and give it to people who work and campaign for him?
