Being a millionaire today does not have the same cachet it did say 20 years ago. Still, even by today’s standards, earning $1+ million in one year is pretty darn good, especially for a socialist like Bernie Sanders. As NRO’s Jim Geraghty points out, though, Bernie’s $1 million pales in comparison to Hillary’s $14 million […]
