Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is having a difficult time with his latest tweet assailing the wealthy.
First, Sanders, who ran a progressive presidential campaign criticizing Wall Street and the rich, tweeted out a message Thursday evening with what seems to be a typo, telling billionaires: "You can have it all."
After deleting the initial tweet and replacing it with a new one, swapping "can" with "can't", Sanders was mercilessly mocked for questioning how yachts and cars billionaires need when he and his wife bought their third house — a $600,000 beachfront residence — in August.
How many yachts do billionaires need? How many cars do they need? Give us a break. You can't have it all.

How many houses do u need Bernie? You have 3 and you're in the top 3.8%. Really, if you hate capitalism so much, why not move to Europe?

Is it 3?

I'll guess 3. It's probably 3.
Does anyone know the answer? If you do, mail it to Bernie in a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
