Bernie Sanders' Wife Accounts for ALL His Reported Assets

Far left liberal, progressive and democratic socialist are all labels that apply to Bernie Sanders.  There are reasons why Bernie Sanders ran for office and some will even say it is because he is a public servant. Most people know better than that however

First from Politico:

Bernie Sanders' wife accounts for all his reported assets

Bernie Sanders on Thursday reported less than $750,000 in assets — all of it in his wife’s name — according to his presidential personal financial disclosure form. 

The Vermont senator, mounting a liberal insurgent campaign against front-runner Hillary Clinton, also listed between $25,002-$65,000 in credit card debt on his Visa cards. 

According to the disclosure, Sanders and his wife Jane reported between $194,026-$741,030 in assets, a broad combination of investment funds.

Continued:

Sanders, by contrast, has no listed assets on his entire financial disclosure form, save for a municipal pension — all the assets provided in the form are listed in his wife’s name. He reported no trusts or stock of any kind. 

His two credit cards, issued through the Congressional and Senate credit unions, carry interest rates of 8.5 and 10.25 percent respectively.

Useless & Unemployable - Just like his supporters in Occupy

Bernie Sanders doesn't have any assets or is it a game of appearances for public or tax purposes ?   Why would he hide them under his wife's name or is he that bad with his finances? Do his high credit card balances also reflect poorly on his financial acumen ?

What would Bernie Sanders history tell us about him ? Now to an article at Frontpagemag.com :

BERNIE SANDERS LIVED OFFUNEMPLOYMENT, COULDN'T GET A NON-GOVERNMENT JOB

Bernie Sanders can only exist when being paid by taxpayers.

The Politico piece on Bernie Sanders is built around his weird personal life and who the mother of his kids is, but that's of less interest and less surprise when dealing with leftists back then. Equally unsurprising and telling, Bernie Sanders was unemployable outside politics and seems to have financed everything with dubiously obtained unemployment checks. 

We're told that "He read Marx, Lenin and Trotsky." Like them, he wasn't big on working. Marx lived off Engels. Sanders lived off Uncle Sam.

"That summer, not quite 23, he and his wife, Deborah Sanders, bought for $2,500 some property in Vermont, near Montpelier in the town of Middlesex off Shady Rill Road, according to property records." 

Where did the money come from?

"He explained the origin of the money Sanders used to buy the Middlesex land and the carpentry he did on the sugar shack. He said Sanders received unemployment, “for a few months,” in 1971, though Sanders can’t remember what the job was that qualified him for the benefits." 

But living off unemployment was the Sanders way.

“The electricity was turned off a lot,” Barnett said. “I remember him running an extension cord down to the basement. He couldn’t pay his bills.” 

He worked some as a carpenter, although “he was a shitty carpenter,” Bloch told me. “His carpentry,” Morrisseau said, “was not going to support him, and didn’t.”... 

“He was always poor,” Sandy Baird, another old friend, told me in Burlington.
“Virtually unemployed,” said Nelson, the political science professor at the University of Vermont. 

“Just one step above hand to mouth,” said Terry Bouricius, who was involved with Liberty Union, served at times as a de facto campaign manager for Sanders and at one point crashed for a couple months on his couch. 

Liberty Union “people found it difficult to support themselves while engaging in full-time political work,” Michael Parenti, one of those people, wrote in the Massachusetts Review in the summer of 1975. “Some held jobs that allowed free time for campaign activities, while others lived off unemployment insurance.” 

Sanders, according to an article in 1974 in the Bennington Banner, was one of them. He was on unemployment for a few months in 1971. In subsequent Liberty Union campaigns he advocated for “the doing away with all time limitations for unemployment benefits.”

Bernie Sanders, just another unemployable populist political hack that fooled a lot of the people, a lot of the time.  His lack of real experience and support from the extreme left makes him a contender for the Democratic nomination in 2016. Welcome to Muriburiland.
