Bernie Sanders promised to release last year’s tax returns today, and here, according to Daniel Halper’s article for the Weekly Standard, is what they show:
Bernie Sanders reportedly earned just over $200,000 in 2014. That same year, Hillary Clinton, Sanders’s top Democratic rival, gave about 45 paid speeches, many of which paid her more in a single hour than Sanders made the entire year.
The Washington Post reports on Sanders’s income. “The senator from Vermont reported income of just more than $200,000 on his 2014 returns, according to the first few pages of his federal and Vermont filings, which were shared with The Washington Post back in June. On Friday, the couple is planning to release the rest of the returns, including attached schedules,” writes the paper. “The vast majority of the couple’s income came from Sanders’s $174,000 Senate salary and Social Security benefits that both he and his wife, Jane, a former college president, receive.”
Sanders, whatever you think of his politics, is the real deal when it comes to income.
Hillary Clinton, by contrast, gets fabulously rich from precisely the same people she angrily assures you she is going to put the wood to if she becomes president.
There isn’t much of an issue about who has more credibility, is there?
How can anyone trust a thing Hillary Clinton says?
And when does she release those speech transcripts – not just for Goldman Sachs but for Morgan Stanley, Deutchebank, Sanford Bernstein, and all the others?
Ever?
