Of all major Democrat candidates only Warren & Booker gave more to charity

[QUOTE=Stephonit;13941605]When did Bernie become a millionaire again?[/QUOTE]He became a millionaire in 2016 and since then has donated less than the average millionaire.

Why hoard all this wealth and buy a 3rd house?

[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE;13941582]Why didnt Bernie share more of his own good fortune to help the working class? :([/QUOTE]

Beto and Sanders are the 2 most progressive candidates but the cheapest with their own money. Not to mention Sanders milking his salary workers of so many hours, they make much less than the $15/hr he is telling all employers to pay even the lowliest of workers. Then has the gall to be enraged at them for going to the media with their complaints. Bernie is a typical politician. Hypocritical AF. :facepalm

Anyone who thinks different is an idiot.

[QUOTE=Phong;13941609]He became a millionaire in 2016 and since then has donated less than the average millionaire.[/QUOTE]


Not only that but he donated LESS THAN 1% before he became a millionaire.

Dude’s been at least upper middle class for decades and has given as little as possible to others :oldlol:

He just wants to be Dictator because he has a Dictator complex. If he loses the DNC bid again this year do you think he’ll start up some selfless non profit? Doubt it. He’ll probably just retire in disappointment and go spend whatever money he’s got in himself for the rest of his days.

He’s not an altruist. He’s a wannabe dictator singing the tune his puppets wanna hear. He does t give a shit if they get it or not, especially if he doesnt get to be the one delivering it.

You aint lyin.

Bernie Bros been duped :(

Theyre mostly young people tho. Hopefully this will teach some valuable lessons. Some of them are guaranteed to be lifelong losers (millertime, r3.) Others may still have a chance to grow.

Im rooting for em.

The charity you describe is the kind of public-facing charity that strikes me as having a high probability of being fake or phony. If you aren't a millionaire, I'm sure a lot of people can find better uses for their money rather than giving it to someone else.

Let me guess: Like giving it to the government? :roll:

If it's going to end up reducing insurance premiums and overall health care expenditures leaving a net savings and removing the threat of bankruptcy why not?

By the way since Warren and Booker gave 5+% and 16% percent respectively to charity I guess that means Warren's 8% wealth tax is a good idea or expecting 10% more in donations from the wealthy is the way to go right?

You shouldn't demand or expect people to donate. You should only be grateful if they do so. Stop being entitled. Worry about your own money.

Bernie could have used the money from one of his extra houses to make that difference for some other Americans out there.

Who cares what the law is or who else is doing it. If that’s the rich person’s moral obligation, then WHY DIDNT HE DO IT???

There's always an excuse with these clowns.

[quote] Weigel said Monday he was able to get his military health insurance retroactively reinstated and he only had to pay $29.50 for each month it had lapsed. [B]A GoFundMe page was launched on his behalf to help him pay down the debt. More than 2,100 donors have given over $45,000 to the fundraiser[/B].[/quote]

That’s awesome for the veteran who got the help, but what does it have to do with Sanders refusing to donate any of his own wealth to people in need?

Bernie basically implored his own base to give their own money to one guy as a PR thing for Bernie.

Bernie has given virtually NOTHING, as his tax records clearly indicate.
