^^ I believe Sanders is an epic ideologue who thinks it's okay to buy a voting base with taxpayer dollars. By that I mean that he makes promises to give those of his voting base everything from a free education to a worry-free life, all on taxpayer money.

In other words he buys votes and therefore political office, and the power that goes with it, with your money. Thusly vested with the power of the federal government, he routinely fleeces your bank account in order to give his voters all that free stuff he promised. So when you think about it the tax payer PAYS Bernie a handsome salary and provides him a plush health program, both of those being surpassed only by an incredibly lucrative retirement deal. His job unless I'm missing something, is to extort your money. What a country!
