No doubt Bern thought the same thing about Millionaires until he became one without working a day in his life.
He truly didn’t build that!
Bernie wants to confiscate all the income from the top 2% of wealthy Americans.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Pretty soon there are no wealthy Americans. Pretty soon there is no difference between the USA and Venezuela.
Thieves are always thieves. The use of government power for theft is the reason leftist go into government in all cases. As Marx and Engels realized (and developed the Manifesto) theft is the only way to fund that utopia they postulated.
CONgress. Turning dumbasses into millionaires for decades.
I sure hope and pray that the Secret Service is guarding the president very carefully and closely.
Socialist should not exist.
Bye bye soros.
It took seven decades for the Soviet Union to hollow out and for Communism to collapse.
My fear is that this nation is so much infinitely more wealthy that if they really do seize all the wealth it might take much longer for the same to occur here.
“...Bernie’s new socialist ‘solution’: ‘Billionaires should not exist’”
Communists will just shoot them. Start with Bloomberg and Soros...oh wait...
If you want to start a pretty decent business? That's a pretty decent idea.
But if you have an idea for a business that is really, REALLY good?
Fuggedabaddit.
Exactly. I want to spend a weekend at his home on North Hero Island in lake Champlain.
If Bernie were a billionaire he’d be saying that decabillionaires and centibillionaires shouldn’t exist.
What do you expect him to say? He parrots Marx all of the time.
Bernie's got his money and homes on a senator's salary. But not for others, I guess.
Even Obama said, "....I do think at a certain point you've made enough money...." And then here he goes and buys a $15 million dollar home by the seashore after buying a $5 million one in DC. Just how did this closet communist get so rich from his presidential salary?
If you get rid of billionaires, whose going to pay for all this free stuff you've been promising the American people?
Unfortunately, Bernie, you've got the wrong country to try your failed experiment on. Communism doesn't work anywhere.

Yes, this is the point. I read one time that Bill Gates had an $18 million home built in Seattle. Well, is that all Gates gets for being a slave to his business and charity work? And for his stewardship of tremendous assets that are creating jobs for untold millions?
We're getting a bargain! If my house is worth $200K, then Gates's mansion is worth only 90 times my own house -- and he's the richest guy in the world! And he has the worries of maintaining a large house, constantly greeting guests there, and managing cooks and servants. No thanks!
And if you compare the amount of quality leisure time a billionaire enjoys, it's probably less than your average person enjoys. A billionaire works hard to maintain his place in the world. These are driven people.
Emerson had something interested to say here:
Each of these idealists, working after his thought, would make it tyrannical, if he could. He is met and antagonized by other speculators, as hot as he. The equilibrium is preserved by these counteractions, as one tree keeps down another in the forest, that it may not absorb all the sap in the ground.
And the supply in nature of railroad presidents, copper-miners, grand-junctioners, smoke-burners, fire-annihilators, etc., is limited by the same law which keeps the proportion in the supply of carbon, of alum, and of hydrogen.
Did he consult with Gyorgy Swartz and his son on this?
Doesn’t he raise campaign funds from millionaires/billionaires? I guess not when they hear this.
They really do think their followers are stupid, don’t they? He doesn’t consider that when he makes those stupid statements?
“”Bernie’s got his money and homes on a senator’s salary.””
Was that a tongue in cheek comment? How do we know how he made his money? We can guess and like demon-rats we can make up our own facts. They don’t need any proof of anything they spout as shown today by Pelosi and her loud mouth dems so we can do the same. He made his money by being corrupt - works for me!
RIP Alvin Lee
Everywhere is
Freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies
Tell me, where is sanity?
[Verse 2]
Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Till there are no
Rich no more
[Chorus]
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you
