So Sanders is "against" Wall Street

[question everything]

Yet, he has retirement accounts thorough the Thrift Saving Plan

The financial disclosure forms does not require Sanders to disclose the amount of savings or the kinds of investments he holds in his government retirement savings account, known as the Thrift Savings Plan — the well-regarded retirement plan, similar in many ways, to a private-sector 401(k)

Sanders’ campaign did not reply to repeated emails from MONEY about his finances and his retirement account.

And where does this plan invest? Why in stock and bonds, of course.

But, hey, other "millionaires" are the bad guys. Not Sanders.

[think]

1. He's against CORRUPTION on Wall St. Not investing in stocks. Why would Sanders be for TAXING

Wall St speculation to help pay for college education if he was against investing?

Think about that for a minute and really let it sink in...

2. I really hope...

...you are being sarcastic.

If you are not, I hate to inform you that...

Any middle to upper middle class family with a nice house that is paid off, who has saved a responsible portion of their income, who has a respectable pension plan and no debt, should, by their 50s, have at least a half million in assets.

Nowadays, it's not that big a number.

3. I wonder how many of Sanders supporters agree with you

Many middle class families went through several job losses, including losing their houses. And whatever savings they had was used up during the "great recession."

4. I understand and fully sympathise.

As I have said in recent posts, I am currently working with inner city students to enable them to acquire job skills.

I don't know if I could handle the emotional strain of working with economically displaced adults.

It's just that barring a personal economic crisis, the numbers we are talking are not really that big anymore.


Most pension plans invest in stocks. I have money in the bank. I am I 'in with' the bankers?

One way I weathered the storm was to switch to a fixed return retirement plan back in 2007 when everyone was still living high.

I knew my teacher assigned 'Grapes of Wrath' for a reason.

5. Wow. Do you know that this was Monday's bullshit?

You need to check in with your camp counselor more frequently. Today's bullshit is "how dare he call her unqualified".

Please get with the program.

6. Man some people are either really disingenuous or really obtuse...

I swear the attacks on Bernie get more outlandish by the day.
