Sanders received a $795,000 advance for his best-selling book, “Our Revolution.” He got another $63,750 for his forthcoming “Bernie Sanders’ Guide to Political Revolution,” a book aimed at young readers co-authored with Kate Waters. And he took in $6,735 in royalties for his 1997 memoir “Outsider in the House.”

That’s more than $865,000 for peddling his working-class ideas. Not bad. Then there’s the $2,521 Sanders earned last year in royalties for his 1987 spoken-word folk album, “We Shall Overcome.”

Senate rules do not require members to report their government salaries on their annual disclosures, but all rank-and-file members earn $174,000 a year. That, combined with the more than $878,000 Sanders reported in his filing, puts the democratic socialist’s 2016 payday at roughly $1,052,000.

So, while spending months speaking about a rigged economy where the 1% of earners are the only beneficiaries of the governmental system, it turns out that Bernie himself was making 1%’er level income.

With his recent purchase of $575,000 lakefront home in North Hero, Vermont, and possession of two six-figure mortgages which were revealed in his financial disclosure, it is clear that Sanders is a big fan of keeping and using the fruits of his labor.

Best regards,

Bernie is perhaps the biggest fraud in politics.

But good for him in banking serious cash getting enough people to let go of their serious cash.

LMAO!!!!  Fraud???  Care to qualify that one???

hey, keep in mind, i'm not griping about Bernie's deal.  I make more than a US Senator but no one's going to give me an ADVANCE to write a book that none of Bernie's groupie followers are going to buy. But if he can pull it off, more power to him.

And The Bern's appeal was NOT juust campaign finance. It was taxes and the responsibility of the 1% to pay more tax. Wait until Bernie hires tax lawyers to find loopholds that will help him keep most of that yuge advance!

I am sure, that  B.S., can not occupy 3 mansions at the same time.

So he has 2-3 rooms, ‘reserved’ for him and family.
and the Rest of the rooms are full of those Poor Refugee  Families.
  Right ????????

Is that not,  ’Spreading The Wealth”  ????????

Hea, wait, just had a thought.
How about,  B.S.,  Letting a  bunch of  LS/650-S40 drivers,
Use his Place for a  rally ???????

At least non of us, are of a bent to,  KILL  HIM,
because he does not believe in, our, ‘religion’s’. !
  (Or Lack Of)

Yep - typical.  Can't answer my questions.

The fact is, Sanders has never been against capitalism.  Nor has he promoted pure socialism.

Open your ears and close your mouth once in a while and you might actually learn something.

Are you serious?  You mean to say we've been a socialist country since the inception of Medicare and Medicaid... and public schools?....

BWAAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAAA!!!!

You're right; I can't spell worth crap. Never have been able to. My Ipad doesn't have spell check and I was typing late last night in a hotel.

Lucky for me, the ability to spell isn't a hindrance to income. Otherwise, I'd probably be more like you. I've taken whatever limited God-given talents I have and turned them into a service in demand. You point out spelling mistakes.

Moving on; now that The Bern is about to rake in serious cash, he'll do what you or I or Trump would do: hire a tax specialist to take every possible deduction so he can keep as much of HIS money as possible. And it is HIS money, it's not mine, it's his. I want him to keep it. I want him to spend it just like I want Trump to keep his money. I and the Feds don't have a claim on it; at least not more than a small reasonable percentage for income tax. But 48% on income over 2 mil a year? You think Bernie's gonna hand over 48% if his book sells well and he makes that much? Never going to happen. Like I said, fraud.
