Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders Made More Than $1 Million in 2016 … Socialism?

HMM, SELF-PROCLAIMED SOCIALIST MADE $1 MILLION IN 2016 …

Bernie Sanders,  the US Senator from Vermont and self-proclaimed socialist is said to have made $1,000,000 in 2016. Really? I wounder how those who supported Sanders in the 2016 Democrats primaries feel about this? Do they feel the Bern? Just how many socialist make 1 million a year? For the man who claimed to be a socialist, he very much appears to like capitalism. But then again, he is just another fraud, another politician who tells others to do things, as he does quite differently. Wake up youth, you were played.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!

Thanks in large part to his successful foray into authorship, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) made more than $1 million in 2016. That’s according to his latest U.S. Senate financial disclosure, which he filed Sunday after receiving a 20-day extension.

The most notable source of income: book royalties. 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.

   This is the very thing that Benjamin Franklin warned about during the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia in 1787. When salaries are too large and government workers accept special favors including money,deals or both they no longer work for the people, but to fatten their pocket book.
