Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is having a difficult time with his latest tweet assailing the wealthy.

First, Sanders, who ran a progressive presidential campaign criticizing Wall Street and the rich, tweeted out a message Thursday evening with what seems to be a typo, telling billionaires: "You can have it all."

After deleting the initial tweet and replacing it with a new one, swapping "can" with "can't", Sanders was mercilessly mocked for questioning how yachts and cars billionaires need when he and his wife bought their third house — a $600,000 beachfront residence — in August.

Yes, but that house was a perfectly legitimate political bribe - that's totally different. :)

The ruling elite makes rules for the ordinary people, who they hate, but whose money they love. They are hypocrites and must be forced to follow the rules they make for us.

Remember congress excused itself from obamacare’s rules so they could continue to wallow in their self-given privileges.

Just like Roger Moore in his ball cap, field jacket and T-shirt after just having exited from his stretch limousine around the corner out of sight.

Liberals are pimps and whores but as long as they champion the slaughter of the unborn, the evil insanity of homosexuality/bruce jennerism, and open borders, they’ll still get the votes. Until America wakes up. Pray that America wakes up.

He doesn’t hate people for what they have or how they got it, just that some people have more than him.

All lefties are hypocrites.

They rationalize it because, in their minds, they are trying to instruct us greedy knuckle draggers on what is good for all mankind.

Their hearts are so big that small things like their own personal wealth and life-styles shouldn’t distract us from doing the right thing.

The Right Thing as defined by them.

And they deserve their lakefront homes, $10 million dollar apartments, limousines, mega-yachts, personal jets and European vacations because they work so hard trying to keep the rest of mankind from destroying the planet.

"...Michael Moore..."


It is also entertaining when five Hollyweird celebrities carpool together in a Toyota Prius together to attend an event.
They really want us to believe one of them drove that little tin can around, picking-up all the others, at each of their mansions.
What really happened is all five took their separate limousines to that compact car that was awaiting them a mile from the venue.

My husband once saw radical folk singer, Pete Seeger, show up at a tv show dressed in a tux, make a quick exit to the men’s room, and return wearing worn denim overalls.

A lot of liberals do that. But the largess and their own personal money and perks are still there.
