He should take his $1 million, buy up all the copies, and smash them.

He gave it all the vocal charm of the person reading off the main part in "Convoy".

Also, who wears a long white skirt and socks to commute by bike?

Sadly, we live in world where if William Shatner can cut a poetry album, anything is possible.

So many of us would have missed this article and not been properly concerned

The vast majority was from a book advance. Not exactly nefarious.

Lots of suspicious people around here.

Or are ya trying to stir the soup?

I don't need any other reason.

Didn't ask for another reason.

He's still out there pounding away at Trump. We're lucky to have him

I still got a few fucks left to wonder about that and any and all connections to hacking campaign data models.

Bernie "Broh-skees" Russian AF.

But we have to focus on *that*, and not let the wedge divide us any further.

They will use gay rights, women's rights, abortion...Bernie....****ANYTHING**** they can to run down this clock.

Russia! Full steam ahead.

And that is ironic considering the nome de plume...

He's a nationally recognized leader, speaker, and author.

The bigger scandal is that you thought you could shock anyone with such a lame statistic.

The only shocking thing I found is that he had a folk album

... or should I say... JEREMY!!

After watching Bernie go after Mulvaney....he is my hero!!!!

Bernie or Dump?

Sanders or any other Senator is not required to make their tax returns public...

officials? Deductions?

did not disclose this income.

The info comes from his senate financial disclosure.

Maybe this is why he hid his tax returns.

It wouldn't have been released until he filed his 2016 taxes in 2017 like all of us do.

...or only confuses them...

looks like what is in question, so speak for yourself about confusion.

Yup. Utterly hilarious!!

presented anyone with a million dollars to be different than himself.

He didn't sign the book deal until July, well after that last vote was cast in the primary.

excoriated others for doing with far less proof. He should explain this discrepancy to the gullible public.

Beg your pardon...?

Let's recap: Sanders went all over the USA holding rallies to earn his votes. He did not take
corporate money. Donation came in on average of $27 dollars. He wrote a book and
received a <$800,000 advance - like the other candidates...

What discrepancy are you talking about?

And you have no idea who contributed to his campaign.

campaign.

Does anyone here know? Anyone? Cause I sure don't.

What's he hiding???!!?!?!!?!??!?

Is there a problem with Dems and independents making money?

It's a political party, not a monastery.

when he does the same things. Thanks for illustrating the hypocrisy.

And I voted for Hillary in the primary.

Democrats are not against people becoming popular and successful. We're against the born-rich cheating the system to get advantages that other people don't have.

It wasn't just the Cons going after her.

Hillary getting paid for her speeches, at least she gave the money to charity.

Sanders is a national treasure - a rare statesman.

Surey he should be living in britches made of burlap to truly understand his populist Demagoguery!

I'm sure that the money earned from royalties will go to elect true progressives in 2018.

He did not even have money to pay for his sons experimental cancer treatment...

money for making a speech at Goldman Sachs.

Some multi-national, for-profit corporations are more equal than others... Goldman Sachs being nefarious and all that is wrong in the world, Holtzbrinck Publishing Group being both righteous and pure.

A great bias is often required to defend our Sacred Cows, though we maintain the pretense of objectivity.

thank you for your response. There's a sacred cow on this board, but it sure as hell isn't Bernie Sanders or any for-profit entity.

Time to break out the torches and pitchforkzzzzzzz

Now if you want to talk about someone who has a lot of money and still steals from children with cancer we can talk. BIG difference between earning and stealing. As long as someone does not hurt anyone, anything, or get it illegally I do not care how they get their money.

In the US that would be $460,000 agi a year which includes millions of Americans, but on a world scale 1% is above $32,000. By wealth in the US it's $7.7 million in assets.

It's not that simple to say anything squarely.

But who cares? It seems he earned it honestly. I am
annoyed he released his promised tax returns, though.

But, Bernie never said he was poor. He fought for the poor and working class, but he never said he was in the class. That said, if a person who has been in Congress for as long as he has and is only making $1 million, that is nothing compared to what his corrupt fellow congressmen make.

You've enlightened this Bernie voter.

Making money is no sin.

to maintain our faith in humanity.

... must be nice.
