Bernie Banked Big Bucks Selling Socialism

by Kim D.

Ryan Girdusky has published a nice little summation of how 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders made tons of cash selling his version of democratic socialism to college students.

The Vermont Senator crisscrossed the country speaking to millions of millennials that have been shafted by student loan debt, a bad economy, and over regulation that has crippled their ability at achieving the American dream. While speaking to their ills and preaching about how more socialism will solve all their problems, Sanders netted more than a million dollars for himself, reported Seven Days Vermont. 

His salary was drawn primarily from book sales, Sanders earned a $795,000 advance for Our Revolution and $63,750 for his upcoming children’s book Bernie Sanders’ Guide to a Political Revolution. He also made $9,256 as royalties for previous books and spoken word albums he’s recorded. 

Adding that to his $174,000 a year income as a U.S. Senator puts him at $1,052,000. He’s become the thing he hates — one of the wretched “millionaires and billionaires.”

Thank goodness Hillary cheated him out of the nomination - we dodged a huge bullet here.
