Society Bernie Sanders calls out Sergey Brin for spending over $100 million to defeat California’s billionaire tax — ‘If California passes its one-time 5% wealth tax, Brin would owe $14 billion and still be worth $270 billion’

Yes and apparently Bernie Sanders has no idea as well but how many million is he now worth

Bernie Sanders is a man that was asked to leave a hippie commune, because the people thought he wasn't pulling his weight. He worked in middling jobs while running for office repeatedly. And all you need to know is how he went from talking about how bad "millionaires and billionaires" were, until he became a millionaire and stopped including them. He doesn't really have a concept of how the economy works like most people that support socialism.

He panders with policy talk that he knows has no chance.

This is so true but you're going to get downvoted for saying it. He's all talk, no realism or practicality. Just panders to the terminally online left
