Sort of a christian sentiment. But such a sentiment is not only altruistic in nature, it makes for a better world even for the wealthy to live in.
He also complained about Amazon taking the tax breaks and not paying their fair share, and then his tax returns showed that he took the tax breaks and didn't pay his fair share. Not only that, but he thinks the government should take money from the rich to give to the poor. And he slammed Bezos for making a lot of money and not sharing the profits with his employees or the poor. Yet he doesn't use his money to help the poor. He gave less than 4% to charity out of all the money he made. So Bernie makes his money just like a capitalist, then keeps his money and doesn't use it to help anyone. A complete hypocrite.
He has no credibility left.

Some of the 2020 Dems Should Really Be Giving a Lot More to Charity
• Elizabeth Warren: 5.5 percent.
The senator from Massachusetts and her husband gave $50,000 on $906,000 in income.
• Bernie Sanders: 3.4 percent
The Vermont senator and his wife gave $19,000 on $566,000 in income. Sanders told the Post that total did not include proceeds he gave away from his book but did not claim as deductions on his taxes. We’ll have to take him on his word.
And BETO????
• Beto O’Rourke: 0.31 percent.
No, you are not reading that wrong. In 2017, the most recent return he’s released, the former Texas representative and his wife gave just $1,166 on $370,412 of income, less than 1 percent of what they earned.
So, O’Rourke’s number is self-evidently terrible. I thought maybe it was just one bad year, but alas, no. In 2016, he and his wife donated $857, or 0.25 percent of their income. In 2015, they gave $867, or 0.24 percent of their income. Not great, Beto.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Bernie thinks the rich should give some of their money to support the poor, yet he is rich and he doesn't give his money to support the poor.
Socialists just want to spend other people's money, not their own.
Its just like immigration. The democrats are all for letting illegal immigrants into the country, just as long as it isn't in THEIR cities.
