Billionaire philanthropist Leon Cooperman warned last week that Sanders posed greater threat to the economy than the coronavirus.
“In all honesty, I don’t have any insight into the coronavirus beyond what everyone else has, but I assume, with all the great minds of the world focused on this problem, that in three or four months this will become resolved, much the way SARS and the Ebola virus were dealt with,” Cooperman*said. “Bernie Sanders, if you listened to his proposals, it’s only a six-trillion-dollar annual deficit; I think he’s misrepresenting himself; he is not a socialist, but he’s rather a communist, and there’s a difference between socialists and communists. Socialists advocate a redistribution of wealth; communists advocate nationalizing the means of production and tearing down the house that wealth has built.”
Cooperman concluded, “All you have to do is read The Wall Street Journal this past Saturday on Bernie to understand what he stands for. And the fact that he’s doing so well in the polls is troublesome. I just hope the country is not prepared to elect a communist or socialist; if we do, then I think that the market is in store for a big problem.”
Always thought Sanders was not all there, do not follow US politics but this guy is just wrong.
