NOW tell me how much people are going to care about the full tax returns of Bernie Sanders, the only non-millionaire in the US Senate?

(29,257 posts)The point IS that Americans are not going to get worked up about tax returns from Bernie Sanders when Hillary was paid $1,667 dollars PER SECOND for giving secret speeches to the very same Wall Street that sent so many Americans to the poor farm or kicked them out of their homes.
$1,667/second.
That is about one month pay for a well-paid blue collar worker at $10/hour.

(5,198 posts)for the public to have been so disrespected. HRC demands we be compliant and not ask her the hard questions. Bernie Sanders will answer anything asked of him, he is a public servant.

So, a billionaire makes about as much as the average schmuck working three part-time, minimum wage jobs for a year, per minute. Then, they move it offshore, like the Panama Papers show.
