Bernie is not a Capitalist

Bernie is a US Senator, and works for the people of Vermont.

He is not a bankster, a business owner, a Wall Street investor, nor a person whose wealth comes from interest accumulations.

Trump, as a comparison, is a capitalist.

Pretty much any good public servant who gets a paycheck from government employment can not be defined as a capitalist.

Good government employees are not on the job for the money, they are on the job because they want to help society be the best it can be.

The best government is a government whose offices are occupied by socialists.

That's why America needs someone like Bernie n the top job.
