Personally, I am fine with them buying whatever house they want.  The hypocrisy is certainly there considering their socialist mentality, but to each their own.

Ditto.  Good for them.  Gotta keep up with the Clintons and the Sanders'.

  Possibly, but without knowing things like how much they pay in taxes, how much they donate to charity and so forth, it's hard to say for sure.

Not really relevant to their political leanings though.  I assume they pay as much in taxes as they are required to, and hopefully they donate to charity, but so what.

   The "so what" is so what criteria are you using to label them hypocrites then? The amount of money they have or spend is irrelevant. Giving up a "piece of the pie" doesn't translate to giving away 100% of your wealth. Neither were they calling for a 100% income tax bracket at any level. Without knowing what they actually give, I'm not sure how you arrive conclusively at the label of hypocrite.

It is based on their socialist public political leanings, but rather practice capitalism in their private lives.

   I admit they lean left, but I have not seen them claim that capitalism should not exist. You would have to link me to that one if you have it.

 

   I suspect you are taking a black and white approach to this. They advocate for sharing the pie, not giving the whole thing away. If they are sheltering income or not giving to charity, while earning and spending millions, then I think you could make the case that they are hypocrites.

   I hope that's not just the fancy pink flower shawl and shiny gold accessory belt talking.

   You can't see NB's avatar? It's very fancy. Not everyone can pull that off.

 

   I guess with a steel ball as an avatar, I shouldn't really say too much.

LOL! Honestly, I'd never looked too closely at his avatar. Mine is my much-loved and much-missed cat, Tibbs. (Yes, he was named after the movie, "They Call Me Mister Tibbs"!)
