So did Obama. Sanders has a home in Vermont (duh), one in DC (duh) and a summer home he and his wife purchased after she inherited some money. With an estimated net worth of $2.5 Million, Bernie is one of the least wealthy members of the Senate.

from his millionaire / billionaire screeds.

You’ve kind of confirmed that Sanders’ should be more circumspect when negatively labeling people.

himself has well-known talking points for years now. The post I responded to is a good example of his mistaken approach to smearing people just because they have money. Millionaires and billionaires is a well known but revised Sanders measure. He’s dropped millionaires.

... believe we don't remember when this story about Dupont/teflon broke. The good guys ultimately won, but it took oh, so long. We recently went through a tiny example of how entities with money can just wear down most people with time and money wasting activities.

Anyway, we left the theater last night being very grateful to Ruffalo.
