"Supporters, however, can rest easy knowing that the money came instead from the sale of the Maine family home of Sanders’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders. “We finally let go of it and that enabled us to buy a place in the [Champlain] islands – something I’ve always hoped for,” Ms. O’Meara Sanders told Seven Days in a written statement.

No. Not necessarily.Shouldn't they be donating such worldly possessions to the poor, instead? Or is that just for other rich people to do?
No. Not necessarily.
Socialism has wide latitude, and he's gone on the record calling himself a 'social democrat' and saying he believes in capitalism.
I think he did himself a disservice with his self-proclaimed socialist moniker, because it's too easy to label him with that end of socialism that removes the means of production and capital from private to public ownership. He ain't that guy.
Actually, he's pretty similar to my thoughts on this:
"Capitalism practiced with social restraint"
That's my saying, not his, but he seems to be concurrent with it.
Fair enough, I won't argue that.Heh, anyone can arbitrarily proclaim themselves to be anything - but if they practice double standards, asking others to pony up while reserving summer villas for themselves, then they look like hypocrites. There are a lot of Left-wing politicians who do this.

Doesn't Bernie want most of "family estates" to go to the govt through his massive death tax?

He's not in the running. Why are you campaigning againt him?

Sorry, his tax returns are a matter of public record. Did he fail to pay his fair share of taxes? Did he make his money by exploiting working people? Is he actively taking corporations' money as a Senator in order to pay for his vacation home?
The answer to all of those are: No, no, and no.
It's hilarious that you're summoning the work of a Democratic Socialist to slander a Democratic Socialist. You probably can't even see the irony.
