Who Is The Oligarch

" Bernie Sanders finally admitted he's an oligarch.

He's in Duluth Saturday to "defeat the oligarchs" with Peggy Flanagan and Keith Ellison. So I checked the property records. The "oligarch" running against Peggy owns two homes. Bernie owns three. Pencils out. Michele Tafoya is the Republican in that Senate race. Two documented homes: one in Edina, one in Florida. Bernie Sanders, the socialist. Three homes: one in Burlington, a rowhouse in Washington, and a summer camp on Lake Champlain. So the woman with two houses is the oligarch, and the man with three is "working people." That's like a frog calling you ugly. Somebody check on Karl Marx. He just rolled over in his grave. Now the dictionary. Oligarchy means rule by the few. One hundred senators write the laws for about 340 million Americans. That IS the few. Bernie has been one of them since 2007. Congress since 1991. Mayor of Burlington before that. He isn't fighting the oligarchy. He's the senior member. Slight oversight! Count the faces on that poster and you get more than 75 years in elected office. Three career politicians on one stage, telling Duluth the problem is people who rule too long. Bless their hearts. You can lead a person to Congress, but you can't make them think. And how does Bernie get to the oligarchy fight? Private jet. His campaign spent more than $550,000 on private jets in 2025, per FEC filings reviewed by Fox News Digital. Asked about it, he said he wasn't going to sit in a waiting line. Neither do oligarchs, Bernie. That's the whole look. All hat and no cattle, and the hat flies private. Then "stand up for working people." Feeding Our Future stole about $250 million meant to feed hungry Minnesota kids. Prosecutors called it the largest pandemic fraud scheme in the country. It happened while Peggy Flanagan was lieutenant governor. Some hogs get all four feet in the trough. Others just leave the barn door open and blame the hogs. So here's my modest proposal: the House Count Rule. Any politician who says "oligarch" on a stage has to hold up one finger for every house he owns. Bernie goes first. It's just common sense. Bernie, you are a snollygoster. That's a shrewd, unprincipled politician. Look it up, you've got three houses' worth of dictionaries. If brains were dynamite, you couldn't blow your nose, but you can sure blow $550,000 on jets. But what do I know, I'm only a science teacher with one house, and I still have to mow it myself. I once asked you to let my homeless student use one of those three houses. Still waiting. 

 

 This is much more about the idiocy of throwing out terms like oligarch to demonize your opponents and Sanders hypocrisy than anything else.
