If Bernie Sanders continues this truth-telling stuff, he`s going to start irritating a whole bunch of people.

You categorize them as mentally ill just because they are wealthy? You have no idea what they do or do not donate.

Nobone who hoards that much money and resources is not not mentally ill. As are those who defend them.

Most foundations of great wealth are mainly for show, to keep their image sneaky clean. If they look like they are giving, people won't get upset with them about their hoarding addiction. Many foundations give a mere pittance of their holdings. Also the foundations of the wealthy are a great place to stash, tax-free, their money. And usually the chair people are family and take massive salaries.
