2.5 million isn't wealthy compared to bloomberg but its extremely wealthy to the average worker he claims to care about. Surely he could sacrifice his vacation home and pay his staffers a nice wage. My point is "wealth" is relative. to a homeless guy on the street I am probably rich just because I don't have to eat out of a trash can and sleep in a cardboard box.

so bernie gets to arbitrarily draw the line at himself? or does he? I am sure his little communist followers will come after his family's acquired wealth in a few decades.

it's honestly not impressive how you use logical fallacies and never logic to support your arguments.

I don't believe Bloomberg will be able to become the Democrat primary candidate. I do strongly feel that Sanders will ultimately take that from all of them and it will be THEN that I watch a political debate.

To see Sanders vs President Trump on a debate stage will be, IMO and at the minimum, quite entertaining.

bloomberg's problem was that he was a total coward and apologized for everything rather than explain his logic. and defend himself and attack back like Trump does. for ex. when warren attacked him for having employees sign NDA's, that is standard practice for businesses. He could have used that moment to point out warren has never started a business and has no idea what she is talking about. then highlight his own experience. his excuse that they agreed to" keep quiet" just sounded bad, the connotation of that phrase is negative and sounds skeevy like he had something bad to hide. Not that I want bloomberg to do well but man that guy is socially inept. He just doesn't "have it". He looked weak and arrogant. not sure how that is even possible?

But I think it's ridiculous to talk smack about a 78 year old man who has accumulated $2.5 million in wealth over the years. Isn't that what we're told to strive for in retirement - to work (yes, he's worked), save, invest. and build a nest egg?

Sometimes I wonder if people understand the difference between wealth and income.

I will absolutely vote for him over a corrupt president. Corruption will erode a democracy a lot faster than a president who dreams of a new Norway.

We will be electing a president, not a dictator. Trump is doing all he can to imitate a dictator and the congress who is supposed to step in on this type of behavior is paralyzed with fear right now of their own re-election. They are allowing it to happen.

Right now Republicans are trying to hide a foreign governments interference in our next election. And people are worried about what? Socialism? Our capitalism is going nowhere. Sanders isn’t trying to eliminate capitalism. Presidents aren’t that powerful.

You get a summer house, she gets a summer house, they get a summer house, I get a summer house....WE ALL GET A SUMMER HOUSE. I mean isn't that the way socialism works? Everyone equal?
