I'm surprised you don't know the answer to your question about Sen. Sanders' recent wealth. Perhaps, probably, you do but, for some reason, still wanted to/chose to slam him, incorrectly, and basically three times. #1. Bernie is actually a democratic socialist, which is a distinction from socialism that you chose to ignore. He supports public roads, public health, public schools, public libraries, fire and police departments, etc. ETC. #2. He "acquired" his recent wealth by writing a significant book in 2018. "Our Revolution" was #3 on The New York Times Best-Seller list and also published in China, England, France, Germany, Serbia and South Korea. He also wrote another important book, "Where We Go from Here: Two Years in the Resistance." I read it a year ago, and it is also a very good, interesting, educational book. I have now just seen somewhere that he will soon have out a third book, which most of us feel will also be a Good One. I hope this Reply helps educate about his recent wealth, which is in No Way "insane." He's worked hard for it...just as he worked hard for Vermonters as the thrice re-elected mayor of its largest city, and since then for his beloved Vermont and All of Us as a U.S. Representative and now in his third term as a U.S. Senator. #3. Until his success as an author, Sanders was well known over the years as one of the poorest members in Congress. His recent wealth has nothing to do with being "in office."
