Bernie Sanders wants to move into the White House.
But it turns out he’s already got three houses of his own. How many houses do you need, Bernie? (To paraphrase a statement he made two years ago.)
Sanders will be running for president on a platform of radical socialism and wealth-redistribution, just as he did in 2016.
As Fox News reported:
Sanders has pitched himself as a grassroots economic populist, focusing on income inequality and higher taxes for the rich.
“Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice,” he said.
I’m running for president because, now more than ever, we need leadership that brings us together – not divides us up. I need you to be a part of this million person movement to transform our country. Join me: https://t.co/qF3DpJmRX3 pic.twitter.com/3wtNIEkH32

But, as many are already aware, Bernie isn’t exactly an average Joe. In fact, he’s kind of in the 1% that he and other socialist-wannabes so love to rant against.
Over the past several years, Bernie has earned over $1 million annually (to say nothing of how much his wife rakes in) and is the owner of three pricey houses.
Makes his 2017 tirade against billionaires sound just a little more hypocritical:
How many yachts do billionaires need? How many cars do they need? Give us a break. You can't have it all.

To be sure, Bernie Sanders is FAR from being among the wealthiest Democrats in Congress.
Still, he’s got a LOT more than your average American could ever hope of having. So, if he’s claiming to be leading a revolution to do away with excess in our nation, you might think Bernie should lead by example and eliminate the excess in his own life.
