NEW: Bernie Sanders says he will release 10 years of his tax returns by Monday. He's now a millionaire. “I wrote a best-selling book,” he told me. “If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too.”


What a sack of shite

I wonder what you would find if you dug into the sales records for his "best-seller"? Hmmmmm?

So Bernie gets to decide when it's okay to be rich. Nothing new here.

I will have to see more information to decide if I agree with you or not. I don't think it's outrageous for him to be a millionaire earning what US Senators are paid (for the last two-plus decades) and receiving the benefits and 401k's that they receive.

Didn't his wife work for decades as well?

It would be kind of concerning if he WASN'T a multimillionaire, to be honest.

Future reference, it'd be nice if we can get a list of Bernie approved paths to being a millionaire.


Approved:

Write a book

Not approved

Being a CEO of a company

I guess we will see if he has been choosing to pay 70 percent in taxes (because the IRS would let him).

Should be a campaign slogan on the Bernie 2020 bumper stickers. What an arse.

Sumbitch was the brokest member of the senate before he ran in the primary in '16, that's a fact.

But why is he building up all that wealth? Does he not understand the serious income inequality problem we have in this country? What an evil person he is.

He is exactly what the founding fathers had in mind when they protected us against tyranny via the constitution.
