Bernie Sanders releases 10 years of tax returns, showing how his 2016 presidential run vaulted him i

No, he isn't. And, you're lying. Our system right now completely dismisses your assertion. Our life expectancy is decreasing.

Facts are a bitch.
True. It was higher back when we had quality, affordable health care.
 
He only paid a 26% tax rate. If he wasn't a hypocrite, he would have paid 50%+.

Wow, Bernie must be taking advantage of all those tax breaks the Trump haters scream about Trump taking.

Wrong. People still died en masse thanks to pre-existing conditions.

The republicasn party is a filthy batch of inhumane demagogues.

I wonder how many people died because they couldn't afford Obamacare insurance premiums, co-pays and ER visits.

Socilized medicine can't afford to spend money on people who aren't worth it: children and elderly folks.
 
Try telling that to any of his critics in the mainstream media, whether MSNBC, CNN, or Fox.

It's hard reading those articles that attack him in the most ridiculous ways. There's no mainstream media in his corner to defend him and call it out so they get away with it. Even without the media though he's on track to take the nomination this time. I shudder to think what they're going to do to stop him.
 
I know all about his positions: free healthcare, free college tuition, minimum wage hikes, slavery reparations, getting rid of fossil fuels, etc.

Where is he gonna get the money from, comrade?

You clearly don't get it. He never said free healthcare. He said last night healthcare isn't free. I know math is not a conservative/right wing strong point. so let's view his proposal.

Eliminate private insurance - reduces overhead automatically by eliminating the middle man. increase taxation to pay; no premiums, co-pays or deductibles at point of service. This overall reduces cost on the consumer and businesses as they are no longer paying for health coverage for employees.

Sanders is not in support of slavery reparations like the other candidates.

Yes, he supports cutting back on fossil fuels. This is not bad.

Tuition free. He supports this. So do I. Since college is now essentially high school, I agree with his proposal.

You don't understand his platform, you're just soaking in misinformation. Go educate yourself.

I know we had some people here calling him a hypocrite for demanding Trump's returns when he hadn't released his, except for a small portion. I assume this will satisfy all of them.
I still don't give a ****. What's the point? Well there is one, he's a galactic hypocrite for being a millionaire. He needs to get rid of all of it, and live totally off his senate salary; like the good little socialist he wants the rest of us to be.
 
He only paid a 26% tax rate. If he wasn't a hypocrite, he would have paid 50%+.

Oh Bull****, that's like saying if you want a wall YOU should personally send in YOUR money to fund it.

Maybe he will revoke those huuuge corporate tax cuts Trump gave away. Maybe he could increase the tax burden on the top 2%, but I am sure a guy like Trump could find a way to not pay, he does brag about that fact. Bernie on the other hand is paying 24% tax rate, is Trump? We will soon find out !!

I didn't say nobody died. I said the life expectancy was higher.

How is he a hypocrite for being a millionaire? Where has he said there shouldn't be any millionaires? Instead of hypocrisy, you just demonstrated ignorance in your post.

He's a lousy socialist, and isn't paying his fair share. He still owns 3 mansions, more than the average American. He's the shining asshole of socialism.

Looks like Sanders isn't paying his "fair share".

Socialism is for everyone but the socialist.

He is following the current tax laws. Just like hypocritical cons that complain about Social Security but still collect far more than they put in do.

If Sanders thinks the top 2% should pay more taxes, then he should lead by example and pay more taxes. :lamo

Then change the tax laws. He's wanting to do that but Republicans only want to benefit the wealthy. BTW since cons like yourself want the border wall, why aren't you sending in extra of YOUR money to buy it?

There's nothing in the law that stops him from paying more than he owes.

If the tax laws were changed he would. Next idiotic faux outrage from you cons?

And there is nothing stopping you from sending in more of your tax money to fund the wall you so desperately want. Are YOU sending in more money?

There's no law stopping him from refusing to take breaks, credits and deductions.
 
Capitalism has been good to Bernie.
