Let's see: some DUers think he should be richer than he is because he's been rolling in all that Congressional pay money since 1991 and some think he should be poorer than he is if he's going to pretend to understand the average person. But no one else's money is any problem at all. It's all Goldilocks unless you're Bernie Damn Sanders.

he has donated money to charity along the way. If it sounded as though I actually had a problem, it was only sarcasm without the emote.
