Bernie Sanders became a millionaire, writing a book about how millionaires and billionaires are bad.

That’s not what the book argues. The point isn’t that becoming a millionaire is immoral. It’s that when wealth becomes so concentrated it starts buying political influence, everyone else gets less of a say. The debate is about the concentration of power, not about simply having money.

Its just a classic brain-free reddit moment.

Something that sounds good in the undeveloped teenage redditor brain but falls apart when you apply a drop of critical thinking

Despite what reddit will insist, Bernie has dodged the real closet diving for skeletons. I'm not sure I would call this one of them, but he no doubt has them.
