Ummm, yes, he is completely and totally and demonstrably wrong.
Wealth is not finite, it's not like a pizza. So if a rich guy gets richer, that does absolutely nohting to reduce anybody else's ability to get rich. I agree that a huge income gap is "unfair". But it's insane to suggest the wealthy people are "causing" the income gap. There are some criminals out there of course, but fo rth emost part, one person's wealth doesn't cause anyone else's poverty. If wealthy [people all burned 90% of their money, that eliminates the wealth gap. But does it help anybody? No one is better off, had those wealthy people, not done what they did to get wealthier.
As to 'free college'...let me ask this first...if Bernie is the first person to figure out how to pull this off, why didn't he propose it during the 85 years he was in Congress?
He's more than wrong. He is crazy to believe what he believes.
