Strange... your title doesn't match the title of the link you posted.

I can tell you I don't make $500,000 USD, but I bought a home for $489,000 USD. Granted, I still owe about $200,000... but I'm not nearly as old as Bernie. I don't think it's crazy to think he legitimately bought a $600,000 house when he has been in public service for as long as he has making the money he makes.

In comparison to Trump's income, we see Bernie's $500,000 as peanuts. But in the real world, $500,000 is a lot of money... not to mention, he's probably paid all his debts (if he had any) off a long time ago which means he could save all his income minus living necessities.

Now, if you have a title like that and are making accusations, I would hope you'd have some evidence to support any foul play on Sanders part. I require the same evidence for Trump or anyone else.

Also, Trump has claimed to be worth as much as 2 or 3 times what people projected his net worth to be.

Now, the difference between 3-5 billion dollars and 10 billion dollars is quite a significant gap. If Trump is telling the truth, I'm not sure anyone can put much stock in the accuracy of projected net worth incomes.

If bernie claims his net worth is around $500,000 how can he buy a $600,000 house? He claims to have sold a house in maine (which I don't know if that's true but I highly doubt with the stinky real estate market in general in America) but all of a sudden to get that much cash he must have 1) embezzled campaign contributions to fund it, 2) got paid by clinton to drop out.....either way he's a limp wristed hypocrite of a socialist.....he owns 3 houses and they aren't just cheap houses they are mostly 500K and up. As always they say everyone equal but just like the political elite guy he is....he lives poshly....no wonder that his supporters are asking for refunds of their contributions and decrying him for his hypocrisy...

Bernie Sanders Buys a Summer Home in North Hero | Off Message | Seven Days | Vermont's Independent Voice

Got to put that payout money to good use right? Buy a new house in Vermont....that is suddenly payed off in cash despite him only having a net worth of around 500k? Sounds sketchy if you ask me...
Click to expand...
1.) Where did you read the house was paid off in cash? Maybe I missed it in the article... If he didn't pay it off in cash, how is this even cause for an eyebrow raise? People who make $100k buy $300k homes.

2.) Where is the evidence to suggest Bernie took a pay out from Clinton? Aren't you the Trump fanatic who defends him for anything and everything? Do you not require proof? Even when you get the proof, aren't you still worshiping Trump?

3.) His wife had a family home that they sold in favor of this new house. You say "I don't know if that's true..." but you somehow know it's true Bernie was paid off by Clinton even though you offer no evidence? Yeah... you're not biased at all... You're just as bad ass CNN... actually worse...

4.) You post a link about Sanders paying his wife and stepdaughter money. 90k to his wife for her contributions from 2002-2004, and 65k to his stepdaughter for 5 years of service. That comes out to 30k a year to his wife (2002, 2003, 2004) and 13k a year to his stepdaughter. Hiring family members is not embezzling... it's completely ethical. More importantly, do you have any idea how much money they pay campaign organizers? Advisors? A decent one will make any where from 250k for just one political season. The best ones could make millions...

The fact you have to change your title, refuse to post any evidence to support your claim, doubt the Sanders selling a summer home even when you haven't looked into it, and think he crossed ethical boundaries paying his wife and stepdaughter shows how biased you are against Bernie Sanders and how incredibly uneducated you are in the finance/campaigning.

You actually make Sanders look like a good guy if this is the only "dirt" you can manage to scrape up on him... the illusion he is corrupt and breaking campaign finance laws... lol

I wonder if Hillary made a deal with him to put a private server in his bathroom if she becomes president.

Bernie Sanders is no Fred Rogers from Mr. Rodgers neighborhood as he tries to come across as an old friendly grandpa. I detest Bernie Sanders and have no qualms about saying it....when you look for the definition of vermin you see bernie's picture next to it in the dictionary....

A man who never earned a paycheck until the age of 40.....was a lowlife socialist scumbag who wrote about rape, pornography, masturbation, and other sexual vices to earn money.....a sorry lame a$$ of a man who complained about the rich being where they were and refused to get off his own butt to make something of himself. A man who wanted wealth redistribution and handouts instead of earning his wage honestly like most people do. While Trump is no saint he is a way better man than Sanders period. People will say oh you had a silver spoon but that is an excuse....Trump never asked for a handout but learned from his business mistakes and is running his corporation better for it.

Bernie Sanders a Bum Who Didn't Earn His First Steady Paycheck Until Age 40 Then Wormed His Way Into Politics

Also why would bernie sanders come on TV say he won't support HC or DT and then less than 24 hrs later sing cumbaya with HC?

Obviously he was bribed/guaranteed a cabinet position....you would have to be naive to think he did not get some sort of monetary/power compensation from HC. She always buys out people in politics the list is long....

What Changed? Bernie Sanders Will Vote For Hillary, Less Than 24 Hours After Saying "No" | Zero Hedge

I will admit I do not have "proof" as to whether Sanders used his clinton money to buy this house but rest assured he got something to endorse clinton...no one does anything in politics/life for free....bernie sanders is just as his initials...complete B.S

If you enjoy getting robbed via heavy taxation, love the job obama's done, then by all means support the B.S. hehehe one doesn't have to look far to see bernie's dirt....seems people love to sweep his under the rug but zoom in on everything Trump has ever done wrong....

You're sentiments towards Sanders are something you're entitled to and were very apparent even before this post.

You don't like him ideologically. You don't like him as a person. You don't like what he did from birth to age 40... he was "lazy" and didn't want to get off his butt... I disagree. He went out to fight for civil rights. He was arrested for his convictions and refusal to give in to the social norms of his day. In his early 30's, he ran for governor and for the senate as a 3rd party candidate (to which he lost). Getting a consistent paycheck isn't the only means to measure one's contribution and impact in society. Jesus didn't start his ministry until his 30s and I'm uncertain if he ever had a consistent paycheck. I'm not saying Bernie Sanders is Jesus or that Sanders' work was as important as Jesus, however I do believe historical figures had other missions, perhaps God-given, that are/were more important than the amount of money they make. Even if you disagree with this, certainly you can acknowledge Sanders was a bit ambitious in his 20's and 30's by trying to be governor/senator as an independent. If he was lazy, he wouldn't have wanted to make a difference.

By the way, it's comical you say Trump never asked for a handout... Well, when your dad gives you a "small" loan of a million dollars, that means you never have to ask anyone else for anything...

Now, tell me the truth. Which one among us, if we knew we were going to lose the race anyway, would not accept a million or two to simply get out a few days early, and then endorse our opponent...... when we felt her winning was better than a Republican getting elected?

If you would say that you would refuse all that money and stand on principles, you would probably lie about other things, too.

I'm sad he endorsed Hillary but have no reason to doubt his integrity. I don't see him as a sell out because he is doing what many conservatives are doing and "voting for the lesser of evils". He and I disagree on the lesser of the evils, it's clearly Hillary, the woman that screwed him out of the nomination, but I don't hold that against him.

If Bernie chose not to endorse Hillary after the pledge, then people (probably Ultimatum77) would be posting and saying, "HAHAH! What a hypocrite and a liar! He claims to be a man of integrity but he isn't keeping his pledge! Typical socialist Democrat!" But by honoring his pledge and supporting who he feels is more consistent with his political desires, he is now a "sellout". Anyone who isn't blind can see an anti-Sanders person takes this as a lose-lose for him, impossible to come out on top.
