Sanders: "Well you missed that I work in Washington, House 1, live in Burlington, House 2, and like thousands of other Vermonters, I do have a summer camp. Forgive me for that. Where is your home, which tax haven do you live in?" Bloomberg: "New York City." Why did Bloomberg get flack/booed for that one? I think he won that exchange. I mean, he lied in that exchange, given that he has ten multimillion dollar homes including one in Bermuda and several overseas. i honestly dont think bernies three houses are that unreasonable, its not like any of them are outrageous. Ive made a middle class salary (approximately $50k) for most of my 20s and the house my fiance and I own is worth $350,000 --- The words of The Golden Eel have been revealed...
