He won’t tell you, but socialist Bernie Sanders reeeeeeally loves capitalism.
The Vermont senator filed his Senate financial disclosure form on Sunday, and revealed that he received a $795,000 advance to pen his socialist tome, “Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In.”
According to the form, Sanders reported the following “earned and non-investment income”:
- Pension — City of Burlington Vermont — $5,086.92
- Royalties (Advance Against Earning) — Macmillan – St. Martin’s Press, LLC — $795,000.00
- Royalties — Macmillan – Henry Holt and Company, LLC — $63,750.00
- Royalties — Verso Publicans — $6,734.70
- Royalties — Todd R. Lockwood Works — $2,520.60
- Retirement — VALIC Retirement — >$1,000
The royalties from Henry Holt and Company, LLC are for “a book for young adults to be published in 2017,” according to the filing.
The document also reveals Sanders is a trustee for “Islands Family Trust.”
“I am a co-trustee in a family trust created when we bought a summer home,” Sanders commented on the item.
That was Sanders’ third home.
As The American Mirror previously reported:
Seven Days, “Vermont’s Independent Voice,” featured the socialist senator’s new $600,000 home away from home on North Hero Island, where he will kick back with his wife and take in the property’s 500 feet of lakefront “facing Vermont, not New York.”
Sanders closed on the four-bedroom home last Tuesday in a trip to the town of roughly 800 in which he also posed for pictures at the local Hero’s Welcome General Store, according to the news site.
“We’ve traveled up to the islands many times over the years – almost always on day trips,” wife Jane O’Mera Sanders wrote in a statement to Seven Days. “We’ve been impressed with the North Hero community, eaten at the North Hero House and Shore Acres and have suggested them to friends who were looking for a beautiful place to stay or have dinner. St. Anne’s Shrine in Isle La Motte is my favorite church and it is nearby.”
The island getaway is Sanders’ third home, with others on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and in Burlington, Vermont, according to the news site, which pointed out that the Hero’s Welcome General Store already has a sandwich named after their newest resident.
