Thread: Sanders buys $600K summer home

    Sanders buys $600K summer home

    What's he doing with all these homes when there are starving children?

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has purchased a nearly $600,000 summer retreat on Vermont’s Champlain Islands, the Vermont newspaper Seven Days reported Monday.

    “We’ve traveled up to the islands many times over the years — almost always on day trips,” Jane Sanders, the former White House contender's wife, said in a statement. "The entire family is very excited about it.”


    “We’ve always been impressed with the North Hero community, eaten at the North Hero House and Shore Acres and have suggested them to friends who were looking for a beautiful place to stay or have dinner. St. Anne’s Shrine in Isle La Motte is my favorite church and it is nearby.”
    The Sanders’ new waterfront home has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront, Seven Days reported.

    The town of North Hero has fewer than 1,000 residents, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.

    The Sanders family also owns a row house on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and a house in Burlington, Vt..

    The residence in Burlington is currently valued at $321,900, according to city property records.

    Well, the other option was a mysterious death, so, yeah, he took the summer home.

And the seller of the house used his proceeds to build a new house and the construction workers who worked on his house had children who...

    Wanna Big Income and Three Expensive Homes? Become a Socialist Politician
    https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog...st-politician/
    It worked for Bernie Sanders. After collecting all those $27 donations from millions of debt-strapped millennials, Bernie and his wife have just made socialism great again (for themselves) by adding a $600,000 lakefront vacation home in Vermont to their portfolio of expensive homes in Burlington, Vermont and Washington, D.C. Of course, this pales in comparison to that other socialist politician, Killary “Tax the Super-Rich Like Me” Clinton.

    Socialism always enriches and empowers the ruling elite, whether it is in the Soviet Union, Venezuela, or the U.S. Everyone else lives in equal poverty and misery. This is just one of the big Problems with Socialism. All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. It is no surprise that the wealthiest person in Venezuela today, where people are rooting through garbage looking for food and animals in zoos are starving to death, is the 35-year-old daughter of the late Hugo Chavez who is reportedly worth $4.2 billion.
    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

    Wait until the dupes and tools see what their 600K bought the dumbass old socialist. Only the best for our public masters!

    Nice digs. And oh dear, it turns out that where Equality Bernie and Equality Jane are going to be hanging out a lot from now on is also not very diverse:

    North Hero, VT
    White 95%
    Latino 1.6%
    Native American 0.6%
    Asian 0.2%
    Black/African American (just about statistically zero)

    Feel the heartBern former Bernie donors. Suckersssss.
