Why Hasn�t Bernie Sanders Released His Tax Returns? (Or Cruz Or Kasich, Either�) [View all] swag Apr 2016 OP

Did he or did he not disclose returns...AND that a Senator has more deductions than Jackie Wilson Said Apr 2016 #1

He has not disclosed a single complete tax return swag Apr 2016 #2

Its a long article but says he has done so. riversedge Apr 2016 #57

Hi! It's not a very long article. Where does it say he has done so. Thanks! swag Apr 2016 #66

long as he didn't donate it to himself like the clintons do questionseverything Apr 2016 #98

When you don't indulge in corporate largess... a senator's travel... Blue State Bandit Apr 2016 #3

Perhaps we shall see. swag Apr 2016 #4

Nothing full disclosure couldn't explain, I'm sure. swag Apr 2016 #5

I agree, so where are the transcripts? Blue State Bandit Apr 2016 #6

Off topic, but please to enjoy yourself. swag Apr 2016 #7

LOL! Politicalboi Apr 2016 #53

DING DING DING! beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #63

Not that clever, since we are discussing tax returns treestar Apr 2016 #95

I thought we were talking about transparency? Blue State Bandit Apr 2016 #104

The govt pays his travel cost dsc Apr 2016 #29

That is because the OP bought into the spin from the link Gwhittey Apr 2016 #75

Well how about that? Well done! beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #76

The Clinton's are the essence of transparency FlatBaroque Apr 2016 #8

Animated emoji is the essence of rational discourse swag Apr 2016 #9

Rational discourse with a Clinton supporter is very productive and thought provoking / FlatBaroque Apr 2016 #15

I'm not a Clinton supporter. This article asks some questions and states some facts. swag Apr 2016 #17

I just read some of your posts and the facts don't support that claim. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #68

Release nearly 25 years worth of tax returns isn't transparent? scscholar Apr 2016 #59

It must be the family investment in blood diamonds or the secret shares in the Nevada brothel Vinca Apr 2016 #10

All good possibilities. I guess we'll see, if St. Bernie ever discloses. swag Apr 2016 #12

What is Sanders Hiding? riversedge Apr 2016 #78

I'm betting he takes a medical deduction for a daily fix of "Ben & Jerry's." Vinca Apr 2016 #84

Hi, Lisa! Come down south and have another beer with me some day! swag Apr 2016 #14

I would love to! LisaM Apr 2016 #22

Bernie has to be the poorest, and most honest, US Senator. Perhaps, the only non-millionaire leveymg Apr 2016 #13

This post asks some questions, and states some facts. swag Apr 2016 #16

You're pretty damned smug and disingenuous. Maedhros Apr 2016 #19

Yup. Same here. Number 334. FlatBaroque Apr 2016 #20

Appropriate to be ignored by the wilfully ignorant. swag Apr 2016 #38

for your viewing pleasure, Mbrow Apr 2016 #47

I sorta' don't care anymore if a post of mine gets hidden. Maedhros Apr 2016 #58

I hear you, this is my third jury in one 24 hour period. (so far) Mbrow Apr 2016 #61

I'm sure it would be greatly amusing to hear what you consider to be "bullshit" swag Apr 2016 #67

It's one of those "why do the poor of Calcutta spend so much of their incomes on food" questions. leveymg Apr 2016 #32

The author of the article asks some valid questions. swag Apr 2016 #40

Perhaps, but is this really a significant question? leveymg Apr 2016 #44

I guess we'll find out, if he ever releases his tax returns. swag Apr 2016 #45

Is this an April Fool's Joke??? leftcoastmountains Apr 2016 #18

Ask Bernie, I guess. swag Apr 2016 #25

look at Joe Conason's twitter feed. he owns The National Memo. Viva_La_Revolution Apr 2016 #21

The writer won a Pulitzer for tax reporting LisaM Apr 2016 #23

He's done a lot of great reporting. that is not the issue. Viva_La_Revolution Apr 2016 #31

Umm, the issue is Bernie Sanders' taxes. LisaM Apr 2016 #36

if it's fair Viva_La_Revolution Apr 2016 #41

So what about this piece is unfair? LisaM Apr 2016 #43

"All presidential candidates should release full tax returns - more than one year." riversedge Apr 2016 #60

Should or are required to? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #65

Required to - like paid speeches? Oh wait. bettyellen Apr 2016 #69

Has Bernie been paid millions from industries he promised to regulate? I must have missed that. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #70

I don't think it would have been legal for him, unlike her speeches. bettyellen Apr 2016 #71

What does that have to do with it? She was paid millions and promises to protect us from them. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #73

You're not in a position to demand, so that is wise. bettyellen Apr 2016 #107

I thought that happened in the GE oldandhappy Apr 2016 #24

Well, then. I guess Clinton is way ahead of the game. swag Apr 2016 #26

Here's a link to every one of his FULL financial disclosure forms from 1990 to present: beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #27

Since when are financial disclosures tax returns? swag Apr 2016 #33

You wanted to know about his finances, right? You can't get much more detailed than those forms. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #37

Try to stay on topic of the OP--which is tax returns. Not financial disclosures riversedge Apr 2016 #62

The topic is Bernie's finances, try to keep up. What's on tax forms that isn't on those disclosures? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #64

Those aren't tax returns. LisaM Apr 2016 #39

What's missing from those forms that would be on his tax returns? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #42

You tell me! LisaM Apr 2016 #46

I'm not the one suggesting Bernie is corrupt. Now you guys will have proof that he's dirty! beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #51

Actually the article (which I don't think you read) suggested that he probably doesn't LisaM Apr 2016 #55

I did read it and you're right, the author isn't the one trying to smear Bernie. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #56

I don't buy the claim that he hasn't disclosed his tax return when he has disclosed his 1040. Shrike47 Apr 2016 #28

You have your "real concerns", I have mine. swag Apr 2016 #35

I totally trust David Cay Johnston TheDormouse Apr 2016 #30

Trash thread... mak3cats Apr 2016 #72

Right. Why should anyone know about a presidential candidate's finances? swag Apr 2016 #74

I posted a link to all of his financial disclosures, have you gone through them yet? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #77

Financial returns are not tax returns. What is Sanders hiding? riversedge Apr 2016 #79

You tell me, what was missing from those disclosures? You must be a speed reader! beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #80

Schedule of deductions for one thing. swag Apr 2016 #81

Aren't his deductions listed on those forms? Which ones do you find questionable? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #85

I guess you didn't look at them, huh? swag Apr 2016 #86

I'm not the one claiming he's hiding something and feigning concern. Now what did you find? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #87

Deductions are not listed on financial disclosures. swag Apr 2016 #91

What's not sinking in is that your Rovian tactics have failed miserably. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #100

They are not tax returns. Simple as that. riversedge Apr 2016 #82

So you don't know if we would learn more from his returns and yet you say he's hiding something. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #83

His Tax returns will tell the whole story and you know it. Wonder what he is riversedge Apr 2016 #88

Is that arrow pointing to the millions she received from Wall Street and lobbyists? beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #89

I think I have to go get the lady across the street to help Gwhittey Apr 2016 #102

Capital idea! I don't have kids either so I won't even try. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #103

OOPSIE! beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #99

those must be some outstanding, amazing tax returns. why should he keep them secret? geek tragedy Apr 2016 #93

It's a valid question. Thanks for the article, PeaceNikki Apr 2016 #105
