Bernie Sanders likes to tub-thump about "The millionaires and the billionaires" - but oops, it turns out he is one of them now.
Sanders reassured his legions of hard-left fanatics, he isn't like those other rich people.
His campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, offered up this word salad for why it's OK that Bernie is rich while attacking the system that made him rich: Sanders "Believes in opportunity for all, and the fact that he is somebody who has personally benefited from that opportunity is something that he feels should be a shared opportunity with everyone else. He's made some money off a book. And I think that the opportunity that he has had is evaporating for so many others. He feels that strongly."
Bernie is, of course, not the first person to use this "My wealth good, your wealth bad" line while attacking other rich people.
You can be anything in this great land, even a really rich guy criticizing other people for being rich.
The happy couple didn't voluntarily pay the wealth tax that Warren is proposing for other rich people.
Capitalism is a powerful engine for social mobility, and prosperous capitalists like Bernie Sanders should have the courage to say so.
