Rich guy complains he's not rich enough

[nate]

Even AJ can't defend the fact that Bernie is a typical selfish rich white dude that dodges taxes

[Spirit]

13.5% on over $200k!  Damn!  I need to get hold of Bern's tax guy! 

[Adam]

AJ probably hasn't paid that much in taxes in aggregate

[Adam]

AJs quotes are the best

As long as we're still discussing their tax returns, let's see what else is in there ...

 

 

Jane Sanders is still drawing a salary as an alternate commissioner for the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission. (TLLRWD Commissioner)

 

This is the commission that oversaw the Sierra Blanca dump site, that Sanders voted for and also voted to strip out the Wellstone amendment in conference.

The Wellstone amendment would have given legal recourse to this mostly poor Latino community to fight the placement of this waste dump, if they could prove environmental racism. The compact was passed, with vigorous help from Sanders.

 

 

Champion of the poor and underprivileged, that one is.

We have already seen that latinos don't vote for him.  I am sure it was placed strategically in an area that wouldn't affect his re-election.

[nate]

My favorite thing is that so many idiots were fooled into believing that he wasn't just another politician.

[Spirit]

I liked that he actively voted something that would benefit his wife's organization.  

 

You know ... basically the exact thing he's accusing Hillary of doing. 

[nate]

How dare you insult AJ's Jesus that way!?

[Adam]

I think it's scary how many naive altruistic morons are in his corner

13.5% on over $200k!  Damn!  I need to get hold of Bern's tax guy! 

 

13.5 in taxes plus 4 in donations equals 17.5% taken/given from his base pay. that means he kept 82.5% of his pay PLUS all the perks for being a senator.

 

yep, do as i say, not as i do.

it shouldn't come as a surprise anymore to any of us. look at how supportive hilary's supporters are inspite of all the things associated with her. same thing with bill, too. didn't matter how many chicks he nailed, his supporters couldn't care less.

And you're young and idealistic, just as we were (in varying degrees). Nothing wrong with that.

What you lack is real world/life experience, something all of us have. You'll understand better once you're out on your own and working hard to earn your pay, and some politician comes along who wants to take more and more of your cash while making grand promises of how his plan will fix a lot of life's inequities (which it won't).

You know ... basically the exact thing he's accusing Hillary of doing.

I liked that he did it 14 years before his wife was hired to the organization.

You know... basically a non-issue.

[HaloMagic]

AJ, you have no answer to the pandering, the lies, the lack of donations and most importantly the ridiculously low tax rate? You do realise he should've paid about 40%, right?

Do you have any idea as to why he was able to pay only 13.5%?

[Spirit]

So he sold out and they rewarded him by hiring his wife?  

 

Sounds about right. 

[Spirit]

Didn't think so.

You're right guys. This is fun.

 

 

You just need to like your post, then you'll have it nailed!

This thread is amazing.

1)  I think many of the 95% of income earners who make less than him would. 

 

2)  If dude is making $200k plus a year, gives so little of his income to charity and only has a net worth of $400-$500k, then he sucks with money.  Another reason he shouldn't be POTUS. 

 

Ya, where did his money go? That must be an awful lot of hookers and blow.

If his money did go to hookers and blow can we really say he's bad with money?

[Adam]

He seems a bit creepy. I'd check his passport for multiple southeast asia trips.
