Oh boy, you have been duped.  Bernie made over a million just by running for office. Those book deals, are from corporations, for the record. That brand new house on Lake Champlain, that he didn't have to pay for, that is shrouded in secrecy on where it came from?   Yeah, that isn't fishy.

Bernie looks out for Bernie and his wife, not you, or me.  He is a politician.  He actually is pushing communism, which is a failure, but can lead to total control of a government.  Bernie is going to have someone challenging him in a primary in Vermont, and it will be interesting to see if he can keep his job.  I've heard from my step-mom, who is from Vermont, that people there are not that thrilled with him anymore. 

Speaking of being duped, there's a big difference between a social democracy and communism. If you seriously think that that Bernie is pushing for communism in USA and not the social democracy model in most other developed western nations, then I don't know what to say. Not that USA isn't already very socialistic with social security, public schooloing, the roads you drive on, etc. But lets pretend that one healthcare program would suddenly make all the difference and drive you to communism.
Bernie can make as much money as he wants, as long as he doesn't accepts corporate donations.

Yeah, books are made by corporations, like every other product. That's not really what "not taking coprporate money" is refering to.
When you make a book deal, the book company earns back their investment from taking a part of the sales revenue. That's what they get back.
When a pharma company donates a million to your political campaign, they expect your vote in return.

I don't know about his lake house, but I'm guessing it's about as mysterious as Barack Obama's birth cirtificate.

Because banning or not receiving corporate donations make someone honest, like they won't accept personal donations or proxy donations spread to cover corporate donations right?
