BERNIE "SANDERNISTAS" SANDERS' GOLDEN PARACHUTE: A SUMMER SECOND HOME ON THE SHORE OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN, VERMONT

WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION TO HIM, 
BUT YOU WON'T SHARE IN IT
Like Daniel Ortega, the Nicaraguan socialist Bernie visited and bragged about 35 years ago, Bernie Sandinista found a way to enrich himself personally.


BERNIE "SANDINISTA" SANDERS' GOLDEN PARACHUTE: A SUMMER SECOND HOME ON THE SHORE OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN, VERMONT

EXCERPTS:
"The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero.
Sanders’ new crib has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the east side of the island — facing Vermont, not New York. The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally.
Sanders, an outspoken advocate for the working class who spent his 2016 presidential primary campaign railing against income inequality, remains one of the poorer members of Congress, and his net worth is among the lowest in the Senate.
“We’ve traveled up to the islands many times over the years — almost always on day trips,” Sanders’ wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, told Seven Days in a written statement. “We’ve been impressed with the North Hero community, eaten at the North Hero House and Shore Acres and have suggested them to friends who were looking for a beautiful place to stay or have dinner. St. Anne’s Shrine in Isle La Motte is my favorite church and it is nearby.”
The Sanders also own a row house on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and a house in Burlington’s New North End."
