BREAKING: Bernie Sanders CAUGHT Funneling Money To…



Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is a self-described “socialist”… but he may have just found out he can’t redistribute his own campaign funds in unethical ways.

While Sanders claims to be a champion of the poor and middle class, it appears he’s acting exactly like his opponent Hillary Clinton. Are you surprised to learn of this new report?

Sanders paid his wife more than $90k in campaign services… and hired his daughter for $65,000. Read this…

Following 16 years as a member of the House, Sanders was elected to the Senate in 2006. His political campaigns were an early vehicle for payments to his family members.

According to Jane O’Meara Sanders, the senator’s wife, Sanders’ House campaigns paid her more than $90,000 for consulting and ad placement services from 2002 to 2004. She pocketed about $30,000 of that money.

Her daughter Carina Driscoll, Sanders’ stepdaughter, also drew a salary from the campaign. She was paid more than $65,000 between 2000 and 2004, according to her mother.

After working for the campaign, the senator’s wife would come under scrutiny for expenditures at Burlington College, where she was hired as president in 2004. While she led the school, it paid six-figure sums to her daughter and the son of a family friend.

Burlington College offered its students a study abroad program in the Caribbean, according to tax filings. It reported spending about $47,000 on that program in the tax year beginning in mid-2008.

Around that time, the son of Jonathan Leopold, a Burlington College board member, purchased a small resort in the Bahamas called Andro’s Beach Club and an accompanying hotel, Nathan’s Lodge.

Leopold served with Sanders in the Burlington city government—as mayor, Sanders appointed Leopold city treasurer—before becoming embroiled in scandal involving millions of dollars in payments to a Burlington telecommunications company.

Sen. Sanders has described Leopold as so close a friend as to be considered “family.” He reportedly discouraged Sanders’ socialist impulses early in their careers. Efforts to reach Leopold were unsuccessful.

Shortly after Leopold’s son, also named Jonathan, purchased the resort, Burlington College began writing it large checks for all-inclusive stays for its study abroad students.

The younger Leopold later said during a deposition related to a lawsuit filed by a student who was injured at the rest that he conducted boat tours and snorkeling trips “on behalf of Burlington College.”

From 2009 through 2011, when O’Meara Sanders stepped down as president of the school, it paid the resort about $68,000, according to annual tax filings. The payments stopped the year after she left the position.

Her departure was a source of controversy. She reportedly overstated pledged contributions to the school in order to secure a loan from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington. The diocese lost between $1.5 million and $2 million on the deal, according to local reports.

When people donate to political campaigns, they should have a reasonable expectation that it’s going to be spent on things that win the election: ads, signs, and technology. Donors don’t give with the intention of a Senator simply giving the money away to his family members.

And yet even with this sort of rule breaking, Sanders continues to poll well among Democratic voters.

This is pathetic and dishonest.

Just another crooked Politician!

Bernie Wants to Guarantee All Workers 25% of the Year Off With Pay

Bernie Doesn’t Understand Why People Need to Work

By CHRIS JOHNCOX

Just when you thought Bernie could not get more economically clueless, a post from last June indicates, he wants to not only decrease our work year by 12 entire weeks, but he’s willing to raise taxes on all people to do it. Ignoring what this would do the economy, it seems more apparent each passing day that Bernie is more fascinated with intent rather than results.



In my view, every worker in America should be guaranteed at least 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave.

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) June 14, 2015

For those who don’t know, 12 weeks in practically a quarter of the year. That means, not only will employers see this as yet another barrier to hiring people, but on top of that, if everyone took 12 weeks off it would be a 25% decrease in work production. That’s a quarter of our GDP down the drain. Not only that, but employers are required to pay people for not generating anything; another hit to profits that could be used to hire new people. Workers are hired to work. Why would employers want to hire someone to go on vacation?

This also raises the question: who’s going to pay for it? According to Sanders, working families. He said in an interview that he will raise the payroll tax to fund this plan. As if taxes aren’t high enough, who knows if this will even be worth it? What does “small increase” mean? 10%?

Your talking chump change here. I made 65,000 so what he hired his kid did the kid do the job? I feel your desperation though and wish you would wake up to the fact that the system your defending created this train wreck we call america. I dont understand how you can defend what has happened to america the past 30 years. Higher education unaffordable to most health care out of control wages down across the board. The media and politicians owned by the same folks who own everything else.........If your happy with all that maybe you should move to china your capitalist paradise. Many of us want to make america great again for real though. We want it to be a country worth defending. :)

You mean,paying the Kid $12.- while calling for a $15- Minimumwage?

What do you expect from a guy who's lived off the government his whole life?

I guess you don't know what nepotism is or the going rate for a campaign staffer for a Congressional or a Senatorial race, and anyone making that kind of money on payroll is the campaign manager, lead consultant and possibly the head fundraiser.
