Sanders uses his anti-Trump campaign to fund his lifestyle and family.
For only $27, you can buy a ‘Tax the Rich’ t-shirt and help an elderly progressive millionaire fly around the country to campaign against the oligarchy from the luxury of a private jet.
Sen. Bernie Sanders has been touring the country on his ‘Fighting Oligarchy Tour’ in which the elderly senator and assorted socialist sidekicks like AOC hold rallies in liberal areas to denounce big business…while doing some pretty big business.
Earlier this year, Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is 83 years old, filed to run for reelection in 2030 to be able to take office at the age of 89, and hold it until he is well in his mid 90s. Aspiring to spend nearly half a century in the halls of Congress would seem like evidence of oligarchy.
But despite having a campaign date in 2030, Bernie quickly shot to the no. 2 spot in current year campaign spending. Over $1 million went to Aisle 518 Strategies, a ‘progressive’ campaign operation created by Tim Tagaris, Bernie’s former senior advisor and digital fundraising director, for digital advertising, but as capitalists would say, you have to spend money to make money.
Over $220,000 went to private jet firms including $102K to Cirrus Aviation, which claims to have a “fleet of 30 luxury jets”, $80K to Ventura Jets, which describes itself as “New York’s Premier Luxury Jet Charter Service”, and $38K to N-Jet which pitches potential customers on “a flying experience that’s all about you in your luxury aircraft.” The social media accounts for the private jet charter firms show very wealthy people like Bernie enjoying a luxurious lifestyle.
A video clip appears to show AOC and Bernie dismounting from a Challenger 604 jet. This $5 million jet is usually used for international flights, rather than local travel the way that the two socialist politicians were using it, and offers “the ultimate experience in luxury air travel” allowing passengers to enjoy “the same comforts that one would expect at home or at a Five-Star hotel.”
Does Bernie Sanders really hate billionaires or does he just want to be one? With three houses and a net worth of over $2 million, Bernie has amassed enough to make him greedy for more.
But the most troubling thing about Bernie may be his own private little oligarchy.

Vermont socialist has spent millions on private jet travel over the years
Sen. Bernie Sanders has crisscrossed the country on his nationwide Fighting Oligarchy Tour to rail against billionaires and supposed "oligarchs" like Elon Musk—while traveling like an oligarch himself.
Campaign expenditures released Tuesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show Sanders's main campaign committee, Friends of Bernie Sanders, spent $221,723 chartering private jets during the first quarter of 2025, with the first payment coming just days before the launch of his tour in February.
"We will not accept a rigged economy where working people struggle while billionaires become richer," Sanders said during the tour's latest event in California on Tuesday. "We have got to create an economy that works for working people, not just Mr. Musk and the billionaire class." But Sanders has had no issue splurging on private jets far beyond the means of working people, even as he has ramped up his attacks on the rich.
The revelation is just the latest contrast between his socialist rhetoric and his millionaire lifestyle. The Vermont senator used to rail against "millionaires and billionaires" in his speeches denouncing oligarchy—until he became a millionaire himself shortly before his 2020 presidential campaign, at which point he trained his fire on "billionaires." During that campaign, fellow candidate Michael Bloomberg mocked Sanders for amassing wealth while preaching socialism for the masses. "The best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses," Bloomberg said in a 2020 debate. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
