Does a net worth of $2 mil make somebody a 1%er? If so this country isn't as rich as I thought it was.
Bernie Sanders, the socialist, is a 1%er.

It doesn't. Bernie falls about $4 million short. He is in the upper middle class though.
Bernie is considered a millionaire. He's a hypocrite and that's all there is to it. All of his rhetoric about the privileged class is a bunch of crap since that is what he is. He's no better than Billary when she says that she left the WH poor and now owns four mansions and earns millions of dollars.
I assumed you meant the other '1 percenter'
I don't know. Bernie sounds pretty rough when he talks in his New York accent.
LOL...and our last president was a business guru before buying his political office?
After the last 2 elections I have the same impression of liberals.
For the amount of time they take off, campaigning, fund raising, and vacations........$150k is way too much.
Read the first post in the thread, or even just the thread title. That should give you context.
Are you really this stupid? So Europe is full of socialist countries, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, etc. So none of those socialist countries have any rich people?
Do you try to be ignorant?
IMCC....YOU said Bernie was a "1%er", not that he was a millionaire. A millionaire is much more common in today's inflated economy than you might think. A "1%er" is, as indicated, a pretty rare breed. As usual IMCC, you fired from the hip and missed by a mile. Nice job, IMCC......there's a job for you at FOX, I bet.
IMCC, please try harder to get your facts in order and to say want you want to say more accurately.
joelbc1...a millionaire is a person that has a lot of money. joelbc1, Bernie Sanders claims that he's a man of the average people. joelbc1, the average person is NOT a millionaire, and joelbc1, a Socialist shouldn't even be flirting with having more than a million dollars. Joelbc1, I did not fire from the hip. Joelbc1, the ideology of a socialist dictates that everyone should have and own the same amount of stuff provided be the state. Joelbc1, my facts are straight about the lying, conniving ways of socialists. Joelbc1, Bernie Sanders is a lying, conniving socialist that is speaking from his butt.
Joelbc1.........I hope this answers your concerns and questions.
You should have a look through the links below. Your site is the only one claiming he has 2 million that I can find.

Sanders had an estimated net worth of $330,000 in 2013, according to financial disclosures filed with the U.S. Senate and analyzed by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group that tracks money in politics. But that's a relative pittance on Capitol Hill, where the median net worth for a member of Congress topped $1 million in 2013, according to the Center's analysis. In the Senate, Sanders is downright poor: the median there was about $2.8 million.
Obviously Bernie doesn't quite get it...
So are those people trying to leave Norway, Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany, etc......
So I take you love giving your money away to strangers...or maybe you like receiving strange folks money...which is it?
I don't mind being taxed at a higher rate so that our country can take care of the less fortunate.
And you are an idiot.
The "less fortunate" are taking people like you to the cleaners...you worked for yours...they do nothing and receive yours...now who is the idiot Torg? Now I prefer giving to my church. They do a great job of feeding the hungry and make certain the funds they donate are for essentials only. I may be an "idiot" in your eyes but I don't want my tax dollars going to fund such things as satellite dishes and drugs...

they are both leftist things. Hussein has successfully combined socialism with communism and fascism. they are all related.
I don't believe you have correctly identified a "socialist" appropriate when discussing one's wealth. Bernie does live in a capitalistic based society, where private and individual wealth are part of the system. You describe what a socialist believes fairly accurately but then you use a capitalistic measuring stick to rate the man. You are comparing apples to oranges, it seems to me. My point is that a "millionaire" may have a lot of assets at his disposal but these assets have been greatly degraded over the decades by inflation. I certainly do not think being a "millionaire" has the clout today it had back in the days of Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie. Tickets for an Iowa game back in 1958 were about $5/seat. That Iowa team won the national championship. The same seat today, with the same view costs a lot more than that. And I'm betting there isn't going to be a national championship in Iowa City this Fall.
IMO that's pretty easy to say when you're NOT a millionaire. I wish I had that problem.
I Really......a millionaire isn't what it used to be. It's pretty getable with a work ethic, some good fortune and some good planners.
