Breaking news: Bernie Sanders is grumpy.
OK, we’re being silly. Bernie Sanders being grumpy is not, nor should it ever, be breaking news. He’s literally grumpy all the time.
But the thing that makes him grumpiest of all is billionaires. They just piss him off to no end.
So come World Economic Forum time, you can expect Bernie Sanders to be spittin’ fire. And he is:
When I think about the gathering of billionaires at Davos at a time of obscene income and wealth inequality I recall what Dr. King said: “God never intended for one group of people to live in superfluous inordinate wealth, while others live in abject deadening poverty.”

Did Dr. King say anything about the obscenity of elderly socialist millionaire politicians ranting and raving about income and wealth inequality enriching themselves by ranting and raving about income and wealth inequality?
Maybe start by distributing the millions you've made selling books, and lead by example?

Bernie Sanders used to inveigh against millionaires, too, until he himself became one. Is there any doubt that if he suddenly became a billionaire, he’d reserve all of his righteous indignation for the trillionaires?
Bernie's mad he didn't get an invite to Davos. https://t.co/FhuAYOPU21

Bernie Sanders lives by the politics of envy. So yeah, he’s mad he didn’t get an invite to Davos.
Bernie, who is very wealthy by the standards of almost anyone reading his tweet, is evidence of the fact that no matter how rich you get, there’s always someone richer you can hate and stir others up to hate. https://t.co/7u3K3uAxfc

That’s at least two more houses than most people in this country own. Obscene housing inequality!
He never intended for one man who never did an honest day of work in his life to own 3 houses. https://t.co/HzUsYw6xyP
