The term socialism refers to any system in which the production and distribution of goods and services is a shared responsibility of a group of people. Socialism is based upon economic and political theories that advocate for collectivism. In a state of socialism, there is no privately owned property.

Will bernie get to keep all three of his homes all to himself?

Certainly lol. As George Orwell said we're all equal but some are more equal than others.

No rich politician pandering for votes with socialism is going to give up any of their money or property. Socialism will apply to everyone but them.

How would you react if he sold two and invested the proceeds in the stock market?

Sanders isn't rich. And for some reason he's winning over Americans. We might go from an old reality show corrupt narcissist to an old hippy socialist.

The US has 18.6 million millionaires, highest in the world.
There are 607 billionaires,14 of the world's 20 richest are from the U.S. More than 40 percent of U.S. billionaires live in two states – California and New York.

How much tax should the billionaires be forced to pay? How much tax will the millionaires be required to pay?

How will that pay for all the freebies the democrat presidential candidates are promising to everyone including all the illegals?

Asking for a friend.

Billionaires and millionaires in wealth or annual income?

I thought the "rule" was 10 percent. Think they'll go along with that?

That’s usually the way it goes. Socialism works for the very rich or for the poor. It screws the hardworking middle class. Politicians who pander socialism are just saying that they’ll play Robin Hood and take from the “rich” (middle class) and give to the poor. But they’re certainly not about to give up their luxuries and “equalize” society. Bernie advocates “free Medicare for all” but when he needs medical attention, you can be sure he’ll pay top dollar for a top notch one.
Sanders thinks all of America should have mediocre health care and mediocre education because he wants those free-for-all, he should live that way himself or shut his pie hole.

Medicare has never been free. Has Bernie said it is?

No, he didn’t say that it is free, he says It should be. He thinks that everyone should have health coverage and pay nothing out of pocket when they visit the doctor.
