Daniel Gross (28 February 2016) How Bernie Sanders, the Socialist, Quietly Entered the Top 4% of Earners, Fortune.com
“
Sanders’ modus operandi and avowed lack of experience in the real world of profits, loss, and investment leaves him at something of a loss when it comes to talking about the economy. His plans for everything from reforming health care to boosting economic growth and providing free college tend to have an air of unreality about them. As a result, mainstream economists and business leaders aren’t feeling the Bern.
