    Default Bernie Sanders releases 10 years of taxes

    Considering how much power, influence, and potential for abuse the Office of the Presidency uniquely has, it has always been a good tradition for presidential candidates of the modern era to practice transparency and disclose their financial interests to voters.

    You mean it is not a requirement that presidential candidates submit their tax returns to MSNBC? Interesting to see a lefty who views disclosure of tax returns as simply "good tradition."

    I know right

    This sudden obsession with Trump's tax returns amounts to nothing more than needing something, anything to prolong their hope that all of this is just a dream,

    well guess what nut-bags nation, you're awake and it's all really really happening

    Most voters think transparency and disclosing financial interests of anyone who wants to occupy the office of the presidency is a reasonable thing to expect.

    You disagree?

    I love the "most voters" thing

    I couldn't care less what is on Bernies tax return, or Trumps, or Pocahontas's, or Biden's or

    following along

    they are all rich, have many business ties, use loopholes, writeoffs, etc. like any of us would.
    and if there was anything criminal there, maybe the IRS would have found it? Huh?

    don't act triggered, it's not a good look

    Doing the right thing should not require a law forcing one to.
    That is especially true for someone who wants to be the leader of our great nation.


    Not releasing your taxes in accordance with a long held tradition just makes it look like you have something to hide.


    What is your explanation for why Trump is defying tradition and refusing to let American voters see his tax returns?

    Yep, and his effective tax rate is 26%. What's up with that? Why isn't he paying 70-90 percent? Because he's a fucking fraud, that's why. Socialism is for the people, not the Socialists.

    I am still not seeing a plausible explanation for why Trump is so keen to defy tradition, and is fighting ferociously and frantically to keep anyone from seeing his tax returns.

    What is your explanation for why he is fighting tooth and nail to keep anyone from seeing his taxes??

    Because 70 percent is no longer in the tax code. If it was, he would pay it. He is not a Trumpian tax dodger. Bernie sold a book and had a good year. As time goes by, he will make less and less off the book and his income will return to his former levels.. Bernie is not a millionaire.

    Good for Sanders...I know that was pretty much the main criticism some Establisment Dems were making of him on Twitter. This oughta shut them up.
