(1,249 posts)That's the way the system works.
I don't blame him for doing what's necessary to secure an adequate, though not flashy retirement, and I admire him for criticizing the system that demands such games to survive old age. I'm lucky enough to have a small retirement account too, and I am doing the same thing. But that doesn't stop me from being angered at a capitalist system that screws over so many people and cheerfully destroys the environment.
Also, I looked at Bernie's holdings. Looks to me as though he's of the "socially responsible investors" type. But I'm sure you won't let that stop you from bashing him.
