Where are Bernie's tax returns?

[MinnieBlum]

Why hasn't he produced them? What's he waiting for?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Where are Hillary's transcripts? What's she waiting for?

[annavictorious]

6. She's waiting for Sanders to release his transcripts of speeches

to high dollar, financial sector donors given at the "retreats" that he and Jane hosted in exchange for DSCC funding for his senate races.

And his tax returns.

Release the transcripts, Bernie!

[Loudestlib]

51. " She's waiting for Sanders to release his transcripts of speeches"

When did she say this?

[Duckhunter935]

53. You mean the ones aired on CSPAN?

[Demsrule86]

48. Taxes must be produced or you lose

What is Bernie hiding? Hillary does not have to produce anything to do with her private speeches made when she was not involved with government.

[annavictorious]

2. He's hoping he'll never to produce them

if he stalls long enough. My guess that it's probably a problem with the Sanders family being wealthier than people thought.

[apcalc]

27. I think so.

[enid602]

28. bern

At this point, if he did produce the returns, it would be like Cruz picking a VP.

[oasis]

63. Lol

[AgingAmerican]

38. It's called throwing turds at the wall, hoping something sticks

It's all her supporters have

[Corporate666]

58. It's all they have.... well, that and the fact that he has been mathematically eliminated and...

now is creating a ridiculous rationale for how he can 'win' the nomination.


Let's face it - releasing tax returns has ALWAYS been standard for every candidate. Saying "she's doing something bad so I will do something bad too" is juvenile and idiotic. His failure to release his tax returns stands on its own.

Furthermore, he promised to do it - and failed to live up to that promise. He's clearly hiding something.

[AgingAmerican]

60. Well then why are her minions escalating the attacks on fellow Democrats then?

The most irrational GOTV effort in US history.

[Dem2]

62. Well said

[Demsrule86]

49. or the thing

with college and Jane...also, Rachel interviewed Bernie at home...pretty nice digs for a democratic socialist.

[onecaliberal]

3. They're already released. Wow you people are ridiculous.

WHERE ARE THE TRANSCRIPTS?

[annavictorious]

12. No they're not

One year's short form is only thing that's out there.

But I do agree that Sanders should release the transcripts of his remarks at those high dollar donor events. What did socialist Bernie say to the millionaires at the retreats that led them to donate to his senate campaigns?

Maybe that he'd sit on a back bench in Congress and do nothing except occasionally bluster to the Vermont Free Press.

[onecaliberal]

14. Do you not know how to read, or lack comprehension?

[annavictorious]

19. The only thing I see is

2014.

Hey Sanders, give us eight years worth so we can practice our reading skills.

And give us the amended FEC filings too. We'd like to see exactly how many foreign donors you had to return money to.

[AgingAmerican]

39. He doesn't read your DU posts

Perhaps you should change the law to fit the Hillary supporters rants/demands.

[basselope]

22. Incorrect.. they released the long form

[Demsrule86]

54. He released only 2014

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/bernie-sanders-releases-his-tax-return He paid a lower tax rate than I did.

[basselope]

55. Mortgage interest deduction will do that.

My AGI was much higher than Sanders, but my effective tax rate in 2015 was 7.6% due to deductions.

[Demsrule86]

50. Nope he did not release tax returns

only a summary of 2014 I believe.

[Warren Stupidity]

4. Here you go -- released quite a while ago

https://go.berniesanders.com/page/-/Bernie%20Taxes%20Full.pdf


Do catch up on your talking points.

[Art_from_Ark]

8. Some people are like Heinz ketchup

S-L-O-W

[TexasTowelie]

11. I would like to see a few more years besides one.

2012 is one year that would be of interest.

[Duckhunter935]

36. I would like to see ONE of her transcripts to GS

They must be spectacular for a quarter of a million dollars.

[TexasTowelie]

45. They probably are.

Meanwhile, nobody is willing to pay for any of Bernie's speeches because he has said the same thing for half a century.

[annavictorious]

15. One year

where are the rest of them?

[AgingAmerican]

41. That person already has two hides, but under 200 posts

I hear the going rate is 2 cents per word.

[Actor]

5. There will never be anything to see other than a modest income and the usual.

[annavictorious]

20. Got it...nothing to see here

Can we look anyway?

[Ino]

7. Brock called. He wants his money back.

[CentralCoaster]

9. Very poor performance. I have to agree.

[Matariki]

17. Ha!

really not even trying, are they?

[Bill USA]

10. here's an article discussing his Tx returns which apparently he did release on 4/15, but

.. you won't be able to make any links provided to his tax return work. .. Or at least, I couldn't.

[hrmjustin]

13. At Bernie's house.

[Matariki]

16. Did you join DU to ask this question?

lol

[pdsimdars]

18. Funny how you can go into an annoying thread and put only ONE person on ignore and, viola,

all cleaned up. One rotten apple . . . . .

[annavictorious]

23. Voila

Viola is a string instrument.

[onecaliberal]

34. Lol, same thing here. 😁

[cherokeeprogressive]

59. I suspect Minnie's an Actor... Can YouDig that?

[litlbilly]

61. easy to see why minnie cant get real acting work:) easy ignore on this one

[Lizzie Poppet]

25. That's maybe a 2/10...and that's generous.

Mr. Brock will be disappointed...

[annavictorious]

26. The "la la, la la, I can't hear you"

response to inconvenient facts is dubious at best.

[kstewart33]

31. We'll never see them.

Because in those tax returns, are the $200,000 payoff that the Board of Trustees paid to dismissed Jane while Burlington College was reeling from the effects of her multi-million dollar expansion campaign that failed. When Jane took the payment on her way out the door, the college was reeling from hundreds of thousands of $$$ in debt caused by her venture. Since her exit, the college, with less than 300 students has been placed on financial probation by its only accreditation agency. This past February, the estate of a donor has sued the college because it used the donor's $70,000 gift to pay its bills when it was given to fund student scholarships.

That $200,000 payout is in those returns. Such doesn't jive with Bernie and Jane's campaign against income inequality.

[Bobbie Jo]

33. Nah, you're right.

We'll never see them at this point.

The whole Burlington College deal has always looked pretty sketchy to me.

[Maedhros]

32. Hmmm....

[B Calm]

35. He produced them over a month ago, give it a fucking rest!

[Jitter65]

37. Same place as Donald's tax returns. nt

[thesquanderer]

40. At this point, why do you care? Are you actually still worried about Hillary possibly losing? (n/t)

[baldguy]

42. Anyone check the Panama Papers info dump?

[Trajan]

43. Enjoy that Brockian money ...

It seems he isn't getting his money's worth .... Tis a pity ...

Click!

[LWolf]

44. A few weeks

and 27 posts, and that's what you've got? Really?

Democratic presidential hopeful and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders stuck to his word and released his full 2014 tax returns Friday.

http://www.ibtimes.com/bernie-sanders-tax-return-vermont-senator-had-income-over-205000-2014-2354796

[MADem]

46. He's waiting for this to be over, so people forget.

There's something in them he does not want us to see.

No decent "accountant" would take this long to "review" them.

Blame the wife only worked for a bit: http://americablog.com/2016/04/sanders-refuses-release-taxes-blames-wife.html

Then the "You'll get them as soon as they're ready" excuse was floated: http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-04-15/sanders-paid-27-653-in-2014-taxes-on-income-of-205-271


Now Bernie has flung the whole burden on his spouse, and she's trying to pull the "You show me YOUR speeches, I'll show you MY taxes." Obviously, she doesn't understand that any candidate who doesn't release a substantial clutch of their tax returns gets SHIT ON in the election process. She shouldn't be surprised this is happening.

I'll tell ya, he's going to see this issue again--IF he runs for reelection in 2018.

[seabeyond]

47. Something he doesn't want supporters to see. Nt

[Duckhunter935]

52. Another one

Mar 16, the pay must be nice

[cherokeeprogressive]

56. God DAMN but there are a lot of you around lately.

[Logical]

57. Transcripts? where are they. I bet being held for the GE!
