The Sanders Made $200K in 2014 But Net Worth Just $500K??

[boedicca]

He's going to get a PENSION, which will be much bigger if he becomes President.

The guy has lived his life paycheck to paycheck, clearly.

Not if he has amassed $500K of positive net worth.

Go consult a financial planner then return to this thread.

People who live paycheck to paycheck don't save enough to pay the property taxes and insurance that allow them to stay in a house and to build equity.

And thank you for your concern, but I'm quite happy with my personal financial plan and progress.

Oh come on the guy earns $200k a year, lets say the fool's house is worth $300k so he's managed to save at most 1 years salary for retirement that's freaking horrible.

It's not great, but it's better than the average American (who also doesn't have a government pension in his future).

The guys a retard if he has that kind of credit card debt.

Some people use their credit cards to pay for everything then pay off their card every month for rewards points or miles.

Paying off $65K of CC charges each month is quite a feat when one earns only $200K per year. If Bernie can pull that off, he's a Financial GEEEENNNNIIIIUUUUSSSSS.

Where does it say he was paying $65k of credit card payments every month? I never said that. The $65k could have been broken down through the year.

Sigh. Debt is money unpaid.

You can link to as many different versions of the story as you want, it's not going to change the fact that you're still lying through your teeth.

So typical of socialists. Just plug your ears and pretend your bubble world is reality.

If he declared it as debt, then it had accumulated and he was living way beyond his means.

No, that's not how the disclosure forms work.

On the forms, one must declare all debt that was owed at any time within the year. It does not mean "current" debt.

Uh, yes, it is. It's the level of debt that totals more than $10,000 at any time during the year.

If Sanders used his Credit Card account as a revolving of credit and had a balance of $5K to $6K on a monthly basis, it would not count as $65K of debt.

Did you read the article in the OP?

The debt came from two weddings that he charged to his cards, and then paid back.

And later links shows he has always carried huge credit card debts. Stop with the lies.

No, they didn't. You've posted numerous links to the same story - and none of them say what you've claimed. Which makes it a lie.

God is sad at you.

He's not an average American he earns $200k a year HELLO earth to Boedicca. God its like talking to a fence post.

Give it a rest. He didn't always earn $200K, and many people at that income level have very low net worths. And with a pension, he has an incentive to Spend It Now.

I did read the link, and it doesn't support your repeated lies. You're not understanding how these disclosure forms work.

Sanders didn't declare his "current" debt - he declared debt that he owed at some point during that year.

I've filled out the California version of that form for 20 years, I know exactly how it works.

Apparently, you don't.

What is the "California version" of the Senate Ethics Committee disclosure forms, exactly?

It's called Form 700. Everyone from Jerry Brown to little old me had to complete it every year.

Then I'm sure you know that Form 700 does not require disclosure of credit card debt at all.

So it's not exactly the same thing, is it?

It's 20 pages that includes where every penny you have is.

Loan Reporting: Filers are not required to report loans from commercial lending institutions or any indebtedness created as part of retail installment or credit card transactions that are made in the lender’s regular course of business, without regard to official status, on terms available to members of the public.

Are you going to lie about this too, now that I've proven you wrong?

The man has an upper class income and has less worth than the average middle income American. Really pisses you off to hear it. So I'll just keep repeating it.

I sure do. It means that California public officials are not required to disclose normally acquired commercial loans or credit card debt, as long as they are on terms available to the general public.

That is incorrect. The average net worth of an average middle class American is @ $300K, and they don't have a Government Pension.

And the MEDIAN wealth is $44K.

A net worth of $500,000 is actually 10 times the median net worth of Americans.

But I have no doubt you'll continue to lie about it, anyway.

"Average" net worth doesn't mean anything, anyway. Between me and Bill Gates, we have an "average" net worth of 25 Billion.

The median American net worth is $44K.

he was proven wrong 3+ pages ago but wpnt man up and admit it

He is following in easyt's footsteps of being the leading rw hack of the board yes

 

[oreo]

Of that $200K Mr and Mrs Sanders made, just $8K went to charity, so that's not it. Keep in mind net worth includes home valuation.

The man is obviously living his life on every penny and doesn't know how to save or invest.

On tax returns, Sanders and wife report $200,000 in income — mostly from his Senate post

Actually--the poorest Senator in the Senate is actually a Republican named Cory Gardner. In fact there's a whole bunch of senators on the below list that are a lot "poorer than Bernie Sanders."
Bernie Sanders says he's 'one of the poorer members of the United States Senate'

Would you Sanders supporters vote for Republican Senator Cory Gardner based on him being the poorest member of the Senate?

Oh Hell no you wouldn't, so what in the hell, or who gives a crap about Bernie Sanders income? It just tells me this nursing home candidate is no economic guru.

Look Bernie Sanders is DONE. Hillary Clinton only needs 71 more delegates to secure the nomination, Sanders needs 838 more, which is mathematically impossible. She will secure this nomination on June 7th, and will be declared the nominee. This will happen before California even starts reporting their numbers, as New Jersey with 142 delegates, and New Mexico with 43 will be reporting first and these states are Clinton territory. IOW Bernie Sanders could win every single vote in California and he would still lose the nomination.

Anyone still supporting Bernie Sanders might just as well be working for the Donald Trump campaign.
