11. I believe Sanders owes the American people ten years worth of his and Jane's full tax returns.

I believe Sanders owes the American people ten years worth of his and Jane's full tax returns. He promised that they'd be released "soon" but that was about a month ago. This is starting to look like a great big "fuck you" aimed squarely at the voters and the other candidates. It's starting to look like they're hiding something. By not releasing their tax returns and making excuse after excuse and giving us delay after delay, it's like they're pleading the fifth. Obviously it's not proof positive of any wrongdoing, but it certainly does look suspicious.

Look, if those tax returns have been submitted to the IRS, then they are ALREADY COMPLETE... aside from blacking out some SSN's they're ready to go. So what's the hang-up? What's the delay?

All I'm saying is that the American people deserve to see proof that someone they're considering voting for is NOT a tax-cheat. People deserve to know where the money is coming from, where it's being invested/saved (domestically or in an off-shore tax haven) and we deserve to know more about a candidate's moral character and what's important to them by seeing which charities they donate to and support.

If he's not going to release his taxes (and I don't believe he will) then he should step aside.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
