Fighting oligarchy and public employment has paid quite well for Mr. Sanders as well. Maybe we just need to have congress spend less than they take from us.

I'd like to see more regulation concerning off shore banking to avoid corporate taxes.

Plus they don't spend their own money anyway, they borrow against their assets and spend that, it's why we're all one pay check from poverty overall, because we spend our own money!, they play the game by rules we were never taught at a young enough age. :)

It's interesting people like to shift the topic immediately to point out that he has a net worth of a couple million dollars after having worked extremely hard in government to improve common peoples lives - it's not a crazy or unreasonable amount of money to have working into your mid 80's.
What is crazy, is that it would take 2,554 years of making A MILLION DOLLARS EVERY SINGLE DAY to achieve the wealth of Elon Musk.
So it's not even relevant to bring up Bernie's relatively paltry hard earned wealth, when we're talking about the hyper-wealthy who control our country, laws, elections (without being elected themselves) and don't remotely proportionally feed back into the system (rather they drain and unbalance it to the disadvantage of the rest of us)

Fighting public servants is what Elon Musk did during his unelected role as Chief Chainsaw at DOGE, where he threw many government workers out of their jobs.

Andrew Carnegie and Bill Gates gave back much to charity.

This may be true but do people still need to be as wealthy as double or triple digits of billions. What are they even supposed to do with so much money, besides donating (<1% of it), and what does it mean for the environment, private jets, yachts and super fast cars ...
The very few tech bosses also have way too much power in their hands!
Capitalism criticism is 100% fair in that way
