Are you attempting some lame "red scare" tactics by throwing out the "Russia" and "South America" stuff?

First, it was not "Russia", it was the USSR at the time and it was on city business as mayor. Everything he did and said is public domain. Finding that information is a 5-10 minute Google search.His visits to Cuba and Central America (not South America) are also public record. Also a 5-10 minute Google search.
The only only paid speech that Sanders has ever given is available for view on YouTube. His free speeches are also available on YouTube. Also a 5-10 minute Google search.

You do realize that Sanders has been a sitting member of Congress for 27 years? Full disclosure of his financials, to include bank accounts and investments, are required by law and a matter of public record. Also a 5-10 minute Google search.

I would suspect that all the above information can be gathered in about an hour or so. It may take longer to comb through it all but I would hope that answers your questions. Have fun!

Other candidates go beyond Bernie Sanders to include all candidates. Bernie has been playing petty politics with this and he has plenty to hide.

Maybe he should release the transcripts from the Texas Low level Radiation Disposal Committee meetings where Jane Sanders is a salaried member and Sanders co-ordinated with in Congress with his votes, or how about the VEDA meeting minutes where Jane Sanders also sits at the behest of her husband. And then what about all documents related to the matter where Sen. Sanders pressed a federal insured bank to finance the bad Burlington College loan while Jane Sanders was president of the college (and while Bernie was a sitting senator) and where an investigation regarding the matter is underway. Just for starters.

Now...about those taxes!

Why does he hide them if he has nothing to hide? He got paid by someone we won't like or he'd release his taxes.

He really is not a saint. Among other things he's obviously exceptionally full of himself.

and here is the information from the 1991 returns:
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, earned $33,000 less in 1991 than the year before, according to income tax returns the Clinton presidential campaign released Friday.

Clinton's rival for the Democratic nomination, former California Gov. Edmund G. (Jerry) Brown Jr. released a partial tax return Friday, showing that he paid $15,141 in federal taxes on an adjusted gross income of $117,340.

The Clintons' 1991 returns show that the governor earned $46,854 last year and that his wife, an attorney, earned $188,547.

The figure for Hillary Clinton included $13,466 in interest income and $11,000 in honorariums earned in combination with her husband. Her earnings also included $64,700 in fees for sitting on several corporate boards.

that can only be answered by them releasing multiple years of past returns.

What are they hiding? They use Turbo Tax. It takes literally minutes to log in and print/download any prior year. The only reason to withhold them is that they are either using it as a bargaining chip or there is something in there they don't want people to see.

It's not the former as Bernie has never said he will release them if someone else does such-and-such. So clearly there is something damaging in there he does not want people to see.

Traditionally, taxes returns are released at the convention, not before and if at all.

Further, if Sanders and his wife are doing their own taxes, you can be sure they aren't swimming in cash or finding loopholes. Clinton, on the other hand, will need a small army of tax preparers and lawyers to do their taxes because they are very wealthy. Indeed, some of us would like to know if they came upon that wealth in ways most of us would think legitimate. It's an honest question that you find hard to understand, I know.

Frankly, I really don't need Clinton to release information on what she said in her speeches. Corporations aren't going to pay her big bucks to tell them anything they don't want to hear. In fact, she'll do nothing about Wall Street -- just as she always has. She'll certainly remain true to her past. So, those boring speeches are really a way to fund her campaign without having to worry about campaign finance regs and to pay, in advance, for her service to them.

So blathering on about Sanders' tax returns, repeatedly on DU, is ridiculous. The fact is that he's about as clean as a candidate will get and Clinton. . . is not.

If the logic in this post is too difficult, I can't help you.

I will not post again to this thread.

He's making demands of the DNC and the HRC campaign. He has not conceded. He claims to be a person of integrity. They promised to release their tax returns months ago. They are breaking their promise. The lack of releasing their tax information leads us to believe he has something to hide. If he wants to influence the Democratic Party he has to show he does have integrity and hasn't profited by unscrupulous means.

If this was HRC you would be getting the tar and feathers out and concocting all sorts of conspiracy theories on why she didn't release her tax information.

That's why we care.

Anyone who can do simple math knows he's not going to be the nominee unless Hillary is indicted. I don't know why Hillary supporters persist with this. You only piss Bernie people off and Hillary requires their votes in November.

Bernie will release his if he's the nominee, and I'm not worried they're going to be inaccurate.

Yes, the Clintons have all theirs in the public already, but (and no offense to Sanders supporters) if he isn't likely to be nominee, why make the push on him instead of on Trump?

Again, YES. I said they should release the Taxes. So I don't understand why you keep bringing that up.

Jane said she'd release the taxes soon. She did NOT say exactly when.

However Hillary.. SAID. She would RELEASE them When her opponents did.
She she said this specifically...
Why is Hillary's word WORTH NOTHING?

AND why... is THAT okay? Does she WANT her WORD to be WORTHLESS?


How hard of a concept is it to understand why the speeches are important? These were speeches paid by people who needed government bailouts. Paid to a person they knew would run for POTUS. One hour of speech worth more than what Bernie makes in a year. And again... IF it REALLY means NOTHING. Why won't Hillary JUST SAY NO?

AND why did she say SHE would release them? And WHY has she not?


It's irrelevant what you think when she SAID she would and still hasn't

No wonder no one trusts her, she never keeps her word.

She can't win without us, but that fact seems to escape you all in your fervor.

"Since 1984, only one major-party presidential candidate -- Bill Clinton in 1992 -- has refused to release the tax forms he sent to the Internal Revenue Service."

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3165953&page=1

Typically the Tax returns where done post convention. Obama released his earlier because he was hoping Clinton had some booboo in hers but she has too could of money laundering in the Foundation to get caught.

105. Wash Po: Sanders & Trump "also share an unacceptable lack of transparency" TAXES !
Fri May 27, 2016, 10:49 AM
May 2016
Which two presidential candidates share a secrecy problem? Hint: Neither is named Clinton.

TWITTER EXPLODED Thursday with talk of a possible Donald Trump-Bernie Sanders debate before California’s June 7 primary. On at least one level, we think it would be appropriate for them to share a stage, since they also share an unacceptable lack of transparency.



Both Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump are eroding an important norm in American political life — the expectation that voters should have a sense of presidential candidates’ financial conduct before they choose who should lead the country. As long as Mr. Sanders is a legitimate candidate, he does not deserve a pass.

107. Senate Bill Would Require Presidential Candidates, Including Trump, To Release Tax Returns
Sun May 29, 2016, 08:12 AM
May 2016
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2016/05/25/senate-bill-would-require-presidential-candidates-including-tax-to-release-tax-returns/#27469bbb7b3f

There is no law that says that a presidential candidate must release his or her individual tax returns to the public, but at least one member of Congress thinks there should be. Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR) has introduced a bill which would require presidential nominees to release recent tax returns.

The bill, called the Presidential Tax Transparency Act, would require a presidential candidate to release the most recent three years of tax returns to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) within 15 days of becoming the nominee at the party convention. If the candidate refuses to comply, the Treasury Secretary would provide the tax returns directly to the FEC for public release.
Let that last part sink in for a minute.

Sen. Wyden said, about the bill, “Since the days of Watergate, the American people have had an expectation that nominees to be the leader of the free world not hide their finances and personal tax returns.”
I happen to agree with him.

Sen. Wyden continued, “Tax returns deliver honest answers to key questions from the American public. Do you even pay taxes? Do you give to charity? Are you abusing tax loopholes at the expense of middle-class families? Are you keeping your money offshore? People have a right to know.”

That was not a Goldman Sachs speech. It did not take place at Goldman Sachs.

It was a Clinton Global Initiative speech.

On September 23, 2014, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women hosted its annual dinner at the Clinton Global Initiative. (from the Youtube video).


In the fall of 2013, Hillary Clinton gave three speeches to executives of Goldman Sachs, and she has repeatedly refused requests to make the text of those speeches public.
