This insults my intelligence, especially coming from Bernie Sanders, a politician and a socialist (which is really communism).  It’s okay for the folks to be poor and for him to be rich and take 90% of your weekly pay.  Typical of these kind of people.
Sanders: Poverty Is Virtue, Wealth Is Sin

By: Ben Shapiro

April 19, 2016
Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-Loonbaggia) believes poverty is virtue.

On Monday, Sanders tweeted thusly:

Poverty is virtue, wealth is sin.
This is true. Sanders made just over $200,000 in 2014. Speaking before Deutsche Bank AG in 2014, Hillary received $280,000.

So the hell what?

Hillary’s having a rough time in this primary because she’s running Sanders’ playbook, and it simply doesn’t fit. She’s inordinately wealthy, she used her foundation as a slush fund, and she has cultivated warm relationships on Wall Street for years. But she isn’t corrupt because she’s rich. She’s corrupt because she’s corrupt. She was corrupt when she was allegedly fired from the Watergate investigation. She was corrupt when she allegedly engaged in financial improprieties with regard to the Whitewater land deal. She was corrupt when she ran the bimbo eruption unit for the Clinton White House. She was corrupt when she allegedly bought her Senate seat in New York with the help of her husband’s pardon of Marc Rich. She was corrupt when she set up a private email server to hide her documents at the State Department.
But Bernie seems to think that only wealth generates corruption. He’s pure as the driven snow because he’s a septuagenarian who didn’t have the foresight to build any wealth over the course of his life. But those evil people who run Walmart are killing us all because they’re selfish and awful, even if they hire millions of people and provide millions more with goods and services at affordable prices. They’re greedy. Not like the poor people who want to forcibly confiscate wealth for their own enrichment, all of whom support Sanders.

Here’s the truth: wealth merely accentuates what you already are. If you are honest and diligent, wealth gives you the opportunity to use that honesty and diligence to help others. If you are corrupt, wealth gives you the power to be more corrupt, as we see from Hillary Clinton. Values matter; wealth level doesn’t. And in a free system, wealth tends to follow those who make rational, responsible decisions that provide goods and services to others. Unfortunately, our system itself has become corrupted by big government, so corruption can also earn you a rather large check, which is how the Clinton’s got rich.

But for Sanders, the downtrodden in a free system are wellsprings of virtue, while the wealthy are exploitative demons. He doesn’t explain precisely what level of wealth crosses the line – not $200,000 per year, presumably – but it happens at some point. And thus wealth itself must be curbed, lest we all be corrupted by its taint. If we were all equal in poverty, we would all be saintly.

Except that human nature doesn’t change. Countries without wealth are not more virtuous than their rich brethren; in fact, they seem to be more replete with violence and chaos, since that is a precondition for poverty. Individuals without wealth in a free system are not better than those with wealth; on average, individuals permanently without wealth are those who make poor decisions. To instill virtue requires two just one thing: a free and open system that rewards good decisions and punishes bad ones. That’s what the market does. But Sanders, as godlike wise man, feels that he can dictate virtue if only he’s given total control.

Which, as it turns out, is the worst vice of all.
