Bernie Bro youtuber Carlos Maza isn’t especially oblique about his politics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He’s one of those “eat the rich” “socialists”. I’m not going to link to his material – I watched a bit, so you wouldn’t have to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway he’s a little more reticent about disclosing his own background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the NYPost <\/em>isn’t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through his clan, the millennial firebrand is connected to multiple Florida mega-mansions, a $7.1 million pad on the Upper West Side purchased under an LLC \u2014 and a yacht by luxury boat-maker Donzi.<\/p>

Maza\u2019s mother Vivian Maza was one of the first employees at Ultimate Software, a Florida-based behemoth which now employs more than 5,000 people. Starting in 1990 as an office manager, she ultimately rose to become the group\u2019s chief people officer in 2004.<\/p>

In addition to her day job, Vivian Maza also developed a very close personal relationship with company founder Scott Scherr \u2014 so close that an independent assessment of the company in 2016 cited the relationship as a \u201ccorporate governance concern.\u201d<\/p>

The report said they believed the pair to be \u201cmore than just co-workers\u201d and have a \u201cfamilial relationship.\u201d The two later became engaged, and the couple has lived together for years, with Scherr being a de facto stepfather to Carlos.<\/p>

Public records show Vivian, Scott, Carlos and sister Isabel all registered to vote at a five-bedroom, eight-bathroom waterfront palace in Boca Raton, Florida. The property sold in 2018 for $10.8 million according to realty website Zillow. Scherr also unloaded a four-bed, four-bath home in 2015 mansion in Weston, Florida, for $1,850,000 in 2015.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Back when I had my original show on KSTP-AM back in the eighties, I did a little digging into the background of the leaders of the Minneapolis “Backroom Anarchist Center”, a local precursor to “Anti”-Fa. And every single leader whose background I could find hailed from Edina, Wayzata or (for the real blue-collar heroes) Woodbury; they had degrees from Macalester, Saint Thomas or (for the ones that were slumming it) the U of M, to a person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s no wonder. It takes a lot of money to maintain the “socialist” lifestyle and mindset. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
