WASHINGTON - U.S. Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders released 10 years of tax returns on Monday, providing details of his growing status as a millionaire fueled by a sharp jump in income from book royalties since his losing 2016 White House run.
In 2014, the year before he launched his first presidential campaign, Sanders had an adjusted gross income of $205,271. The interest in presidential contenders and their taxes has jumped since Republican President Donald Trump shattered decades of tradition during the 2016 campaign by refusing to release his returns - a stance he has continued since entering the White House.
Noting that Trump watches the Fox News Channel, Sanders took the opportunity to chide the president for his failure to release his returns.

johnwhitesides Shier if like we just shir
johnwhitesides Good for him :)
johnwhitesides So he pocketed the money from the campaign. I think that is a Federal Crime...right?
johnwhitesides Even a socialist like Bernie became a 1 per center during President Trump’s Presidency! Instead of donating a portion of his new found capitalistic gain, he decided to buy a three homes rather than donate more to those less fortunate. Typical Socialist, do as I say not what I do!
johnwhitesides As an English man who doesn’t really understand your electoral I think the man has got bottle and naus. I have no problem with him making money and admire the fact that he has put his tax return open to the public
johnwhitesides Why win when you can keep all the money you can grab and go on vacation.
johnwhitesides Who cares? The majority of senators are. Aren’t they? 🤷🏻♂️
johnwhitesides Because he sold books? HANGIN’S TOO GOOD FER THAT BOY
johnwhitesides His 2016 run was a con to get rich and now he wants to cash in again.
johnwhitesides Remember when Bernie railed against Amazon? Yeah, the same Amazon that sold his books not to mention the books that didn't sell were bought by the Sanders Institute, which is now shutdown. feelthefraud
johnwhitesides like every good socialist party member, comrade :-p
johnwhitesides what a disgrace for such a nice chap.
johnwhitesides That’s what I thought!! Why do you think 20 + hacks are running. They’ll get rich whether they win or lose!!
johnwhitesides We support Bernie
johnwhitesides Millionaire is a stretch cause his adjusted gross income was slightly over a million
johnwhitesides 😂😂😂😂😂
johnwhitesides This shouldn’t come as a surprise. There are 11 million millionaires in the U.S.. There are only 540 billionaires. Anyone comparing Bernie’s wealth to Trump’s wealth as a means of undermining his campaign needs to learn the difference between a million and a billion
johnwhitesides bernie became a millionaire through his own work, he did not steal the earnings and labor of other people. That is the way capitalists become millionaire and billionaires. Trump gets illegals to build and clean his buildings. Wages are only a fraction of the value they produce.
johnwhitesides Of course.... hypocrisy
johnwhitesides That he continues to stand up for folks like myself in the working class, even if it would mean a tax increase for himself really shows integrity and strength of character. Those are qualities we need in the Whitehouse. BernieSanders Bernie2020
johnwhitesides Was there ever a doubt? No.
johnwhitesides Bernie Sanders you are a millionaire now pay more taxes share the wealth or shut up
johnwhitesides Bernie isn't the messiah..hes just a very naughty boy
johnwhitesides Those small donations add up
johnwhitesides Old man is a hypocrite!!!
johnwhitesides Complains about millionaires and then cashes in to become a ....wait for it......MILLIONAIRE. Welcome to the 0.1% Bernie.
johnwhitesides No wonder so many people are running...it now makes sense
johnwhitesides So,......?

johnwhitesides And?
johnwhitesides 'I'm not apologizing for writing a book'
johnwhitesides With his decades fighting for the common good, he deserves to be a millionaire. And the best part is that he has remained consistent in his fight for a better country.
johnwhitesides That is why Bernie is running for a 2nd time. He just wants to make more money😡
johnwhitesides Annnnd, no one cares 🤷♂️
johnwhitesides And? He didn’t steal it, he earned it. As long as he pays his fair share in taxes, good for him.
johnwhitesides Confirms what everyone knew. Nasty business but if you have the stomach there's lots of upside.

johnwhitesides ?
johnwhitesides I’m Hope he’s gonna share it. I want my cut
johnwhitesides He wrote a book based on his life experiences that people wanted to read. What a monster!
johnwhitesides ckchumley This could be more damaging to Bernie than any tax return would be for Trump.
johnwhitesides Is he far from billionaire status yet
johnwhitesides SenSanders became a MILLIONAIRE after a FAILED presidential run as an Independent. It was so sweet he decided to added to his MILLIONS as a Democrat. He is a fraud. Him and SenWarren both. BernieTownHall
johnwhitesides So what, He's for Raising his own taxes!
johnwhitesides So? He pays his taxes legally, and campaigns for people (such as himself) to pay higher taxes. Let’s see Trumps, and other millionaires who want lower taxes for their bracket
johnwhitesides Because that’s what happens when you write a good book. He became a millionaire and he is STILL TALKING about raising taxes, inequality, etc. you know what that is? CONSISTENCY.
johnwhitesides *became a millionaire
johnwhitesides ...because of his book sales.
johnwhitesides Nothing wrong with that.
