The post-election season has been very, very good for wealth redistribution, raging against income inequality, free stuff for all, conveniently Democrat, and hypocritical – or typical – Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (Evil 1%-Vt.).

There are no grounds for suspicion: Bernie is a kook, not a crook.

Fresh off the presidential campaign trail, the self-described Democratic socialist bought a seasonal waterfront home on Lake Champlain in North Hero, Vermont, for $575,000. O’Meara Sanders is the former president of Burlington College, which was forced to close due to the “crushing weight of the debt” incurred under her leadership.
For all that his own success belies his political views, here’s hoping Sanders enjoys the beach.
However, the original Seven Days report included information on how the Sanders’ afforded the summer home.
“We’ve traveled up to the islands many times over the years – nearly always on day trips”, O’Meara Sanders told Seven Days Tuesday. Given that Sanders works often in D.C. because he is a senator, this makes sense. The $600,000 beachfront residence in North Hero, Vt., is the newest addition to the couple’s collection of homes in Burlington, Vt., and Washington.
The Sanders family recently sold a lake house in ME that had been passed down from O’Meara’s side of the family.

Judging from the fact that Sanders owns three houses, he seems to be doing just fine in “this contemporary economy”.
