“The truth is there are many people in this country who have money but also believe in social justice.” – Bernie Sanders

Income inequality is a major problem that Bernie Sanders has spoken passionately and convincingly about. It is one of the most compelling aspects of his campaign message. We share Bernie’s progressive values and we are gratified that he has brought greater awareness to this issue.

Where we seem to have diverged from Bernie (until now) is that we acknowledge there are certain individuals, like Bill and Melinda Gates, who use their wealth to bring about positive change in the world. We have also repeatedly taken issue with Bernie’s incessant efforts to impugn Hillary Clinton’s character with the Wall Street dog whistle.


In light of Bernie’s newfangled attack on Hillary Clinton, Amal Clooney and George Clooney for holding a fundraiser to benefit Democrats, we came across this October, 2015 New York Times article:

Mr. Sanders has repeatedly talked on the campaign trail about how small-dollar donations are driving his campaign war chest … But the fund-raiser at the Leibovitch home was the type of event that most politicians typically hold. As Mr. Sanders began speaking to the guests, he joked that the Leibovitch house was a “proletariat” home, and told them, “The truth is there are many people in this country who have money but also believe in social justice.”
Bernie is right.

And three of those people are Hillary Clinton, Amal Clooney and George Clooney.
