Sanders calls his taxes 'boring' but says he'll release returns 'soon'
Fox News ^ | 2/26/19 | Paul Steinhauser

Sen. Bernie Sanders says he’ll “soon” release a decade’s worth of his tax returns.

But the independent from Vermont who last week launched his second straight bid for the Democratic presidential nomination downplayed the public unveiling of his financial details, saying “they’re very boring tax returns.”

LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND SOCIALIST

A rival for the nomination – Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts – last August posted 10 years of her returns online.

Asked during a CNN town hall Monday night why the delay in releasing his returns, Sanders answered “well, you know, the delay is not -- it'll bore -- our tax returns will bore you to death. It's simply -- nothing special about them. It just was a mechanical issue. We don't have accountants at home. My wife does most of it. And we will get that stuff out.”

After whining about President Trump’s tax return since before he was elected one would think the commie would have his ready to go before he announced.

Burney says that rich people need to pay more in taxes, right?
So I’m sure he sends in additional money each year to the Treasury/sarc

Yeah. How do you afford a million dollar lake house on a government salary. Maybe he’ll stroke out soon.

Most of these fools only release the 1040, nothing else

so what, big deal

I always ask the libtard fools if they can point out on any tax form where you would list your Mofia Hits or your contributions from or to Putin

None of them can answer because they have no idea how to file anything beyond the 1040Ez

Trump should verbatim say the same thing.

Good enough for “boring” comrade Bernie.

I don’t care about people’s tax returns. I figure if they cheat, the IRS will catch them eventually.

“How do you afford a million dollar lake house on a government salary?”

Actually, it’s three houses, plus renting another. And him never working in the private sector, and his wife so unskilled with money that she bankrupted a college.

Yes, I too would like to go over the rich socialist’s finances.

I used to work with guy that hadn’t filed a return in 20 years. Died in a car accident and the IRS never caught on. If I am late even a day with quarterly payments I get a notice. Go figure.

You mean the political system has been good to him. He never had a real job outside politics in his life, all his millions come from being a public servant. A bit hard to explain, I suppose but that's his problem.

I don’t care about Sanders’ tax returns, or the tax returns of any democrat/socialist who became a multimillionaire while in office. The pay for play schemes, insider trading rackets, bribes, etc., are highly unlikely to be reflected in any tax return.

From what I read, the IRS audits Trump every year. I wonder if the Burnster gets the same treatment.

My wife does most of it

His wife is a lying thief who ripped off investors for her "college".

Maybe he should pick Bernie Madoff to be his proposed Secretary of the Treasury!

I heard about this one case where a “tax protester” died. His daughter was prepping the estate for probate and felt the need to balance the books, so she set about filing over 10 years of back taxes that had never been filed.

When she finished she discovered that the old dumbass had substantial refunds due for every year he was “protesting” by not filing! And since he was dead they were unrecoverable.
