Bernie Sanders Made $1 Million In 2016 Selling Socialism To College Kids

[Zander]

Sanders is the perfect LWNJ hypocrite.

When do we get to the "fraud"/"hypocrite"/"phony" part?

Are you actually saying authors can't be paid for their work, or what?

Book publishers can't do promo tours on your planet? Retired people can't have retirement funds?

Hm?

Why does Bernie need $1MM -- in a single year!?

 

[g5000]

Sanders made ten times less than every other Senator last year?

This is news?

Proof?

The highest net worth on Capitol Hill is nearly $360 million—and that's before you even get to the Rockefeller heir.

I can see him keeping say $70,000 for himself but the rest should have been given to the "little people" he says he champions.

Report: Bernie Sanders Was Paid Over $1 Million in 2016

june 5 2017 Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., made over $1 million in 2016 — with $795,000 of it coming from his best-selling book, "Our Revolution," his U.S. Senate financial disclosure revealed.

Aside from his book, Sanders took in another $63,750 for his upcoming book: "Bernie Sanders' Guide to Political Revolution" and $6,735 in royalties from his 1997 book, "Outsider in the House," the Seven Day newspaper in Vermont reported.

"That's more than $865,000 for peddling his working-class ideas," wrote the paper's John Walters. "No bad."

On top of that, the newspaper noted all rank-and-file members of the Senate earn at least $174,000 a year

The Daily Caller also noted Sanders owns three homes, including a $600,000 home on the shore of Lake Champlain.

I wonder how much he got for shilling out for Hillary and betraying his own base, even calling his supporters "basement dwelling losers".

At least he got to keep his life.

The parsimonious hypocrite gave only 4% to charity in 2014.

Taxes show Bernie Sanders gave 4 percent of income to charity in 2014

No...twit.....bernie is the one who complains endlessly about the rich 1% of the country not paying their fair share of taxes...so....once he pays 90% of that money to the government.....then he won't be a hypocrite....

 

[shockedcanadian]

It's a tough life being a socialist politician. His pension probably dwarfs this.

This will be a great learning experience for you.

You can learn the difference between annual income and net worth and not make the same mistake in the future.


The red flag should have been having to resort to a 2014 article to discuss 2016 income....

The wage gap. How much does the man or woman make for setting up their schedules?

How much air travel (Carbon emissions) did they experience to make that kind of money in a year?

If you don't see the point of the OP then you are not worthy of an intelligent conversation

HAHA - "Socialist" Bernie Sanders had income over $1,000,000 in 2016

Yeah and ? Last I heard Bernie the Dingbat hadn't taken any vows of poverty.

I have no idea what he "needs". Neither do you.
But I do know a publisher paying an author to write a book is legal, involves no "fraud" and is a normal thing. And I do know a retirement fund is legal, involves no "fraud" and is a normal thing. And I do know that poorly-planned threads quoting blogs they never stopped to think about whether it makes sense or not, IS "fraud", IS dishonest, and is unfortunately around here --- a normal thing.

Anything else?

If no one can articulate the point, then it doesn't exist.

Sorry, irrational butthurt that can't be explained and "everybody knows" fallacies do not a point make.

Sanders effective tax rate was ...

Bernie Sanders Does Not Practice What He Preaches on Taxes

The deductions left Sanders and his wife paying $27,653 in federal income taxes in 2014, on a joint income of $205,271 — an effective federal tax rate of 13.5 percent. If that seems low to you, your instincts are right: According to the Tax Foundation, the average federal income-tax rate for a couple making $200,000 to $500,000 in 2014 was 15.2 percent. The “millionaires and billionaires” that Sanders is so fond of berating payed, on average, just more than twice as much of their income (27.4 percent) in federal taxes as he did.

-----

His web site declares, “We need a progressive tax system in this country which is based on ability to pay. It is not acceptable that corporate CEOs in this country often enjoy an effective tax rate which is lower than their secretaries.” With such rhetoric, you might think that Sanders would be reluctant to take every deduction he possibly could. Yet he and his wife took these deductions: $22,946 on home-mortgage interest $14,843 on real-estate taxes $9,666 on state and local income taxes $8,000 in gifts to charity $350 in gifts to charity other than by cash or check $4,473 in unreimbursed job expenses, which according to tax law can include fees such as union dues and travel Keep in mind, Bernie Sanders doesn’t really like people itemizing their deductions to keep their taxes low. Under his tax plan, people making more than $250,000 per year — a bit more than he makes as a senator, but less than the $400,000 he would make as president — would see the value of their deductions limited to 28 cents on every dollar of taxes they paid. (The Sanders family, which falls in the 28 percent tax bracket, would just avoid being affected by the change.)

How much should a millionaire like bernie pay...according to bernie...?

Making the Wealthy, Wall Street, and Large Corporations Pay their Fair Share - Bernie Sanders

• 43% on income between $500,000 and $2 million.

From the other link...how much did bernie actually pay.....

The deductions left Sanders and his wife paying $27,653 in federal income taxes in 2014, on a joint income of $205,271 — an effective federal tax rate of 13.5 percent. If that seems low to you, your instincts are right: According to the Tax Foundation, the average federal income-tax rate for a couple making $200,000 to $500,000 in 2014 was 15.2 percent.

Hey....pogo...twit....How much did bernie sanders say that people who make over 200,000 dollars a year should pay?

Do you know? What did Bernie say again about how much he should pay....?

• 37% on income between $250,000 and $500,000.

How much did he pay again...on $205,271

13.5%

Amazing that he has the cut off on the tax rates above what he makes....right? So.....how much do you think bernie thinks he should actually pay on $205,000? Do you think it is only 13.5%?

 

[NYcarbineer]

So while Trump wants to use his position of power to cut his own taxes as much as possible,

Sanders is willing to raise his own taxes.

interesting.

So a socialist is corrupt? That is like saying water is wet

Once again --- and we'll just keep this up until those playing the role of the Stupids give up their acting career --- WHERE is the "corruption" in a book publisher paying an author for his work? WHERE is the "corruption" in having a retirement account? Should I call my FA and ask him if I'm "corrupt" for having an IRA?

Just quote me the law where these heretofore normal things are illegal.
