Bernie Sanders Trots out Ridiculous 'Zero-Sum Game' Argument Against Superyacht Ownership – RedState
What I do give a damn about is the utter hypocrisy of Sanders and other wealthy leftists, and their propensity to ignore or justify their own extravagances every time they vilify “the rich” and spew their silly “fair share” nonsense — as if the left and the left alone is the arbiter of what is fair or enough. The reality is, of course, there will never be enough of the money we earn that they want to take from us.
The left-wing brain is hardwired to believe all of life is a zero-sum game, meaning the more someone else gets, or keeps, as it were, the less there is left for others to take. The following Bernie tweet from Saturday, in which he whines himself silly about “the billionaire class” and their superyachts, is a perfect example.
Super-large yachts have become the status symbol of the billionaire class. And Russian oligarchs are not the only people who own them.
While half of our people work paycheck to paycheck, members of the American oligarchy spend hundreds of millions to build their very own yachts. //

And the working-class people who build those yachts are well paid for the job. But because you've never actually earned a paycheck outside government, or met a payroll, you have a microscopically limited understanding of how the economy actually works.
Also, you own 3 homes.
