In reply to the discussion: Why is Bernie Sanders net worth so low? [View all]revbones
(3,660 posts)I know it's meant to insinuate that he isn't good with money or has some habit but it's pretty ridiculous.
The original poster is either just juvenileignorant or has malicious intent. Aside from thinking about cost of living differences in different locations, the fact that he has to maintain 2 residences his home in Vermont and someplace to sleep in DC, plus maybe he's given money to his family, or charity. Really who cares?
I make a decent living, but I don't have a high net worth currently. I lost money in my 401k, I have to give money to help family. I donate money to Bernie's campaign. I have a high mortgage. I say all that because it's just ignorant to make assumptions about someone's net worth in the manner you're doing so. Now when you get to someone that is being bribed with millions of dollars for speeches... if she didn't have a high net worth I'd be concerned.
It just says to me that he's not on the take like Hillary, and therefore not susceptible to bribery like she is...
