Jane Sanders is starting a new progressive foundation, a think tank called The Sanders Institute. It’s not unlike the Clinton Foundation, a place where naive progressives send money and it’s used to subsidize personal lifestyles before whatever’s left goes toward leftwing progress.
Three people at the institute will draw a salary. Their son is one of them.
Dave Driscoll will be taking from the donations to the “think tank” and, presumably, snowboard, because that’s what he’s been doing his adult life.

Jane Sanders, the wife of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders who ran in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, launched a think tank Wednesday aimed at spreading progressive values through op-eds, media strategy and policy briefs.
In an email, Sanders asked supporters to donate to the Burlington-based Sanders Institute.
“I wanted to start an organization that would bring people together to learn from each other and discuss how to make our country and our democracy better,” Sanders wrote. “I wanted to actively engage individuals like you, along with the media and other organizations, in learning about progressive solutions to economic, environmental, racial, and social justice issues.”
Jane Sanders said she would not draw a salary from the organization. The three paid staffers, include her son, David Driscoll, who is listed as a co-founder and creative director. He most recently worked at Burton Snowboards.

DRAIN THIS ….
If the punk decides to enter politics, he is at least as qualified as the Canadian prime minister.
Rich man’s welfare
Of course she starts a foundation because $10illion is not enough in your mid-seventies.
Hey, maybe they believed those reports about all those rich folks who want to pay more taxes. I say take their money and run. Any fool giving their own money to these socialists deserve their first in line demise.
Mebbe we get lucky and he pulls a Sonny snow ride.
@Tony R; no he’s not, he was never a bouncer at a bar like our Dear Leader was.
Kind of surprised that Bernie’s wife has the gall to start this after single handedly destroying Burlington College and still might take a slap from the justice system. Maybe she’s jealous that Jill Stein’s scam got all the cash from the progressive morons and figured this would get her in the game.
If you run out of other people’s money, cast a larger net.
Ain’t progressive socialism grand? Like 800 grand.
Travel, entertain, live the good life; directly off donations.
Taxes? We don’t pay no stinking taxes!
