SANDERS IS NOWHERE NEAR THE 1%

In a video published earlier this year entitled Bernie Sanders is The 1%, Alex Jones tried to smear Bernie Sanders as being a member of the 1% and thus a hypocrite. According to the calculator that Jones used, at 4:47 in the video below the annual income required to be in the 1% is $400K. But yesterday Sanders revealed he earns half that, $200K, and he gave 4% of that to charity.

So should Jones retract his allegation that Sanders is the 1%?

But also note that in the following video, Jones has a real go at socialism but barely asks the question how is it that just a handful of people could control so much the wealth. The answer is capitalism.

So socialism, looking out for the people, bad.

Capitalism, looking out for the 0.001%, good.
