    Sanders earned his money and as a civic minded american, unlike yourself, wants himself and others in his position to be taxed more for the betterment of the whole of the country. Sort of a christian sentiment. But such a sentiment is not only altruistic in nature, it makes for a better world even for the wealthy to live in.

      No he doesn't!! He was asked specifically why he doesn't go ahead and pay what he claims he wants others to pay, and he dodged like he was live from Vegas on the OCHO.

        He essentially said that he shouldn't be punished for being rich and successful and then dismissed any further inquiries.

          He earned his money the capitalist way. By making a product and selling it. His book on socialism.

          He also complained about Amazon taking the tax breaks and not paying their fair share, and then his tax returns showed that he took the tax breaks and didn't pay his fair share. Not only that, but he thinks the government should take money from the rich to give to the poor. And he slammed Bezos for making a lot of money and not sharing the profits with his employees or the poor. Yet he doesn't use his money to help the poor. He gave less than 4% to charity out of all the money he made. So Bernie makes his money just like a capitalist, then keeps his money and doesn't use it to help anyone. A complete hypocrite.

          He has no credibility left.

            Doesn't matter stupid, if his policy stance is to tax the wealthy at a higher rate then he wants to pay at a higher rate. I understand your difficulty, but try to use logic in your responses instead of idiotic talking points.

              We've been through this before, genius, when you falsely and ignorantly claimed there is no mechanism for people to voluntarily give money to the government. Bernie can give all the money he wants, but he doesn't do it. He wants to sucker stupid people like YOU into giving THEIR money. And you're just dumb enough to fall for it.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      And he's not very charitable with his giving, either!

                      Some of the 2020 Dems Should Really Be Giving a Lot More to Charity

                      • Elizabeth Warren: 5.5 percent.
                      The senator from Massachusetts and her husband gave $50,000 on $906,000 in income.

                      • Bernie Sanders: 3.4 percent
                      The Vermont senator and his wife gave $19,000 on $566,000 in income. Sanders told the Post that total did not include proceeds he gave away from his book but did not claim as deductions on his taxes. We’ll have to take him on his word.


                      And BETO????

                      • Beto O’Rourke: 0.31 percent.
                      No, you are not reading that wrong. In 2017, the most recent return he’s released, the former Texas representative and his wife gave just $1,166 on $370,412 of income, less than 1 percent of what they earned.

                      So, O’Rourke’s number is self-evidently terrible. I thought maybe it was just one bad year, but alas, no. In 2016, he and his wife donated $857, or 0.25 percent of their income. In 2015, they gave $867, or 0.24 percent of their income. Not great, Beto.

                          Watching the town hall was very entertaining. What Bernie did most was pivot like a target in a shooting arcade. He hardly ever answered the questions asked of him.

                              Are you serious? His return clearly shows he is NOT serious about the very things he's talking about. Talk about cognitive dissonance.

                                Bernie thinks the rich should give some of their money to support the poor, yet he is rich and he doesn't give his money to support the poor.

                                Socialists just want to spend other people's money, not their own.

                                Its just like immigration. The democrats are all for letting illegal immigrants into the country, just as long as it isn't in THEIR cities.
