    Sanders never shuts up anyway, the only difference here is that he happened to have a microphone in front of him.

    Not to mention the fact that Sanders doesn't have the brains to turn $1.00 into $1.05 if you gave him 20 freakin' years to do it.

    The only thing Sanders (and the rest of Congress) has proven is that they CAN'T handle money. They're broke (not personally, of course, but Washington DC is).

    The taxes that the top hedge fund managers (whom Sanders attacked from the floor of the House) pay enough in taxes to pay the annual salaries of thousands of absolutely useless federal employees.

    Ha! Hedge fund managers don't pay taxes. That's just silly.

    Oh, by the way, I'm no Bernie Sanders support (or opposer, for that matter), but he did do pretty well as the Mayor of Burlington.

    Some hedge funds are set up in financial centers outside the U.S. and pay no taxes on the increased value of the fund. An investor will still pay taxes on any profit made when it realizes the investment, and a hedge fund manager pays taxes on the fees received for managing the fund.
