Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is a self-described socialist, has published his latest book on last year's eight hour filibuster by him against the extension of the Bush era tax cuts, which his publisher called the "People's State of the Union address" in the product's description.
However, there's just one big problem with this whole situation: the socialist Senator has been caught hawking his book at a Barnes & Noble bookstore in Washington. Like the evil Corporate Capitalists he speaks out against all the time on the Senate floor.
I definitely smell hypocrisy, and so did Human Events.
I am not going to ruin the entire article by Jason Mattera, but the Senator is apparently going to give whatever he earns from the book to "the children of Vermont," which led Mr. Mattera to ask at the end of the article if that means he'll claim a charitable deduction on his taxes next year.
Regardless of what happens to the money, we have all just witnessed the only self-described socialist Senator in Washington use Capitalist tactics to preach his socialist ideology. Irony.
What say you?
