April 3 Bernie 1st claimed he would release taxes. Jane said she did them on TurboTax. What's up Bernie? What are you hiding? #Release the Returns

[Tiggeroshii]

1. He's released enough to give us an idea of what itbis about

Meanwhile Hillary has yet to release one paid transcript! Double standard much?

[riversedge]

2. Hillary has 8 yrs of her FULL returns on her website.

[Tiggeroshii]

8. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about her bribes

I mean transcripts of speeches

[riversedge]

9. Your changing the subject is what you are doing. Pay attention to the OP.

[Tiggeroshii]

10. So releasing tax returns has nothing to do with transparency?

He's released several years of his as well. Just not last years yet.

Where is a single one of her transcripts? You can't call for the one candidate to be fully transparent, when you have absolutely refused to be. Let's see those transcripts, then let's talk about tax returns.

[COLGATE4]

3. No double standard at all. We have for many years now

expected potential Presidential candidates to release their tax returns. We have never before now expected those potential candidates to release transcripts of private speeches.

[Tiggeroshii]

12. I'm not sure any other candidate has made 21.6 million dollars in paid speeches either

It's about transparency. And clearly one candidate has more to hide from their inability to release her transcripts, than the other -who has released a years worth of tax returns.

[COLGATE4]

14. Sanders has only released one year (not even the current one). Hillary released 7 years' worth.

"Transparency" involves actions by governmental officials. Hillary gave those speeches to private groups when she was a private citizen. It's not 'hiding' something you have no obligation to show.

[angstlessk]

4. There are so many problems with the tax code...

Say I have a room in my home and a computer that does all my business, so I claim 100% business expense...but I send pictures of my grand children on said computer to the grandparents......suddenly you lied...not 100% business!

these (the Sanders) are not people who have had administrators who were looking at a presidency run for years..HELL THEY USED TURBO TAX!!!

Unlike the Clintons who have had experts in EVERY NUANCE...and still!!!

[riversedge]

5. -So Sanders and Trump are two peas in a pod --neither has released their tax return forms

@ABCLiz --So Sanders and Trump are two peas in a pod --neither has released their tax return forms.#ReleasetheReturns

[angstlessk]

6. Sanders is no more like trump than clinton is like jeb

oops I mispoke

[ebayfool]

15. Sanders released his full 2014. Deadline was only a few weeks ago for 2015 ...

(unless an extension was needed). But Clinton is still looking into releasing her speeches, yes?

Really, what do you think you're gonna find in his tax returns?

A foundation full of pay to play?

[tammywammy]

19. Actually, he only released his 2014 summary. He didn't release his schedules that go along with it.

[ebayfool]

26. Wrong. The FULL return was released April 15th ...

https://go.berniesanders.com/page/-/Bernie%20Taxes%20Full.pdf

And looky there! NO pay for play foundations listed.

"UPDATE: As he had promised, Sanders released his full 2014 tax return on April 15, 2016."

[anotherproletariat]

7. He wishes he had thought of that audit excuse before Trump.... nt

[Cali_Democrat]

11. I use turbo tax

It only takes a few clicks to access your past returns.

Something is fishy here....

[Tiggeroshii]

13. More fishy than making 21 million dollars in speeches to your number one donor? n/t

[Cali_Democrat]

16. Hillary has released 15 years of tax returns....Bernie has released one. nt

[Tiggeroshii]

22. Did he get paid 21 million dollars to not release his tax returns?

Because she got 21 million dollars to make those speeches and we deserve to know why, just as much as we deserve to see her rspeeches. But stil he has released more tax returns than she has speeches.

[Cali_Democrat]

23. How many other presidential candidates have been asked to release transcripts of speeches

they've given as private citizens?

None.

How many presidential candidates have been asked to release tax returns?

Almost all of them.

Bernie is one of the least transparent candidates in history when it comes to releasing tax returns.

[Tiggeroshii]

24. How many other presidential candidates have made 21 million dollars on speeches?

None

So yeah, transparency is important.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. Last I heard, it was Tax Returns after Wall Street Transcripts, since transcripts were looked into.

.


Low-level tax shenanigans or errors on someone making several hundred thousand a year do not compare to the possibility of someone working to support certain industries above the good will of the general public.


Both should be revealed, but this transcript issue is older and should be put to bed first.

While it might be a bunch of nothing, like self-filed tax returns, I'm starting to get tired reading about it.


Besides, HRC said she would look into it several months ago. Where's her follow through?


.

[anotherproletariat]

18. He sees the writing on the wall...he's going to lose, so might as well keep stalling on this.

Why give up the fact that he's not as common as he'd like his followers to think. If it was me, I'd keep my privacy when I knew it wasn't necessary to give it up.

[TheBlackAdder]

21. That is quite possible and crossed my mind a few times.

.


They could also be playing the same Obama Birth Certificate game that HRC seems to be doing with the transcripts.


Then again, Obama's birth certificate wasn't really questioned by sane people, no money changed hands anywhere.

.

[coyote]

20. His tax returns are under the pile of Hillary's transcripts.

[silvershadow]

25. The more delegates he racks up, the less he cares about that nonsense. That was just

a meme to distract from the speeches Hillary made to Wall Street for $250,000.00 a pop while she was actively setting up her campaign headquarters with 40 staff, against FEC rules, and those transcripts she can't find the custodian of despite it being contracted to just herself. No transcripts?

[grasswire]

27. nobody cares

He has an 86 percent trustworthy rating.

NOBODY CARES about his damned taxes.

[leftynyc]

28. Bernie sees no reason to release them

He knows he's gong to lose.

[NurseJackie]

30. This is the correct answer.

[YouDig]

29. What's up is that Bernie is going to lose, so why bother releasing anything else.

[hobbit709]

31. Where's the transcripts?

http://iwilllookintoit.com/

[LexVegas]

32. Bernie lied again? Shocking. nt

[NurseJackie]

33. Was he lying? Or does he have problems with following-through on his promises?

Or is he hiding something embarrassing? Or does he just not care any more?

I honestly don't know... that's why I'm asking.

These are certainly reasonable questions that deserve to be answered.

[B Calm]

34. He released them two months ago, go away smear!

[baldguy]

35. It doesn't matter because *Bernie*.

None of Bernie's shortcomings, incompetencies, inadequacies, or falsehoods matter because - Bernie!.
