Bernie Sanders has again and again and again complained about how little rich people and corporations pay in taxes.
Bernie and his wife are among the top 1% of wage earners. Guess what percentage of their income they pay in federal taxes.
And his followers are pledging to go right off the cliff for his ideas. They will carry on with or without the Democratic Party, some of them say. An authenticity in his fans that is not matched by Bernie himself, who turns out to be a 4 star phony.
And John Kerry and his wife have hundreds of millions stashed in offshore tax havens.
And Hillary has accepted hundreds of thousands if not millions from big corporations. But we all knew that; it's like a cliché. Nobody even seems to care what a freaking phony the woman is. It's all we deserve in our leaders, I guess.
And LBJ, who spent his entire life in public service and ended up a multi-millionaire. How did he do that? Examples of that sort of thing among liberals are numerous. It's almost like the whole point of progressive politics is to garner a lot of money and power for the individual progressives.

Less than 14%. Boy, I'd like to know how they managed that.
