(13,131 posts)Sanders has an estimated net worth of two million, Bloomberg has an estimated worth of 62 BILLION. Do you have any idea how much of a difference that is? Talking about Bloomberg and saying "Sanders has plenty of money too"--to imply there is ANY comparable amount of wealth between them--is absurd. It would be like comparing the wealth of somebody who has total wealth of $100 with someone who has total wealth of over 3 million dollars.
Bloomberg gave about 14 million to Planned Parenthood over 4 years. For Bernie to give a comparable amount of his wealth, he'd have to have given them about $440 over 4 years. Maybe he did, I don't know. But... seriously? This is what you'd base Sanders support of Planned Parenthood on?
ETA: p.s. -- Sanders hasn't even been worth 2 million for very long... he wasn't worth that much when Bloomberg gave those contributions. Though Bloomberg may have given more since that report, I don't know.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
