"Bernie's getting rich selling socialism to millennials."
Indeed he does, and his supporters are simply too naive to see that fact.

His message is seductive - vote for me and get free stuff.
No more student debt, free healthcare... A lot of people are hoping that they can get free stuff by voting for him, even thou it's clear that he wouldn't be able to deliver on his promises to anyone that looks realistically at the situation.
Unfortunately this is the downfall of virtually every socialist on the planet. They all offer "free stuff" without ever fully realizing that it would be financially impossible to comply with such massive expenditures. Sure, some of them are ignorant enough to claim that they will easily get the money by taxing the super rich, such as with Elizabeth Warren's view. What those people however fail to realize is that any extra taxes imposed on the super rich will simply be passed on to the rest of us through price increases of the goods and services that we purchase from them. Socialism might be a great idea if money grew on trees, but unfortunately it does not, and that is why Socialism will never work. It never has and never will.
