Oh, I guess it's not just in his wife's name. metroins Feb 2016 #25
He failed to go to the big banks and ask for millions of dollars. My understanding is Karmadillo Feb 2016 #8

Did you miss the memo? By some calculations he is in the top 4% of earners. Autumn Feb 2016 #26
His income puts him in the upper 3 to 4%. Worldwide, he's a 1%er. Hoyt Feb 2016 #27
But where did it go? metroins Feb 2016 #29
Who knows, maybe he lost it in the stock market, gambles on the side, likes expensive wine, etc. Hoyt Feb 2016 #42
I speculated he donates to his own campaign metroins Feb 2016 #46
What Sanders does with his own money in the privacy of his own economy is his business. Agnosticsherbet Feb 2016 #28

It's his money. I don't care what he does with it. Agnosticsherbet Feb 2016 #45
I think it's a little relevant metroins Feb 2016 #49
Sanders is very well to do. Congressmen and Senators are well paid. (even over paid) Agnosticsherbet Feb 2016 #62
He doesn't steal. nt Smarmie Doofus Feb 2016 #30

Why should you be so hot and bothered about Bernie's "net worth"? Art_from_Ark Feb 2016 #53
Apparently no one knows. nt SunSeeker Feb 2016 #41
That's what it seems like metroins Feb 2016 #43
As I recall Joe Biden also had a modest net worth. ALBliberal Feb 2016 #51
I didn't know they had 4 children metroins Feb 2016 #54

I don't know - maybe he gives it all away - but it is strange. CajunBlazer Feb 2016 #72
You should email him and ask him to send you his budget spreadsheet Kalidurga Feb 2016 #73
I could do that. metroins Feb 2016 #75
Why would we be entitled to know exactly how Bernie spends his money? djean111 Feb 2016 #82
I never said entitled metroins Feb 2016 #116
How would it be faster to ask anyone who doesn't have control of another person's budget Kalidurga Feb 2016 #115
Well metroins Feb 2016 #117
