Bernie will release his tax returns, but please proceed because I can't wait.

Because then we can talk about the $28,048,669. difference between Bernie and Hillary's income.

And then we can have a whole brand new discussion about which candidate will be better for the middle class.

Especially some herewith, whose raison d'etres seem to be derogating Hi11ary's increasingly popular competition.

we the 99% do not hate anyone

and we have no problem with someone that has worked their entire lives and has accumulated a million bucks or even two

what we have a problem with is individuals that make many millions a year who

wish to squeeze out every other voice

or even deny us a seat at the table

I believe there are many millionairess and billionaires who work very hard for many of the causes Bernie Sander's supports.

Not sure attacking people, even Clinton, for being successful is a winning strategy.

12. The election between Kerry & W was about the Iraq war. This election is about income inequality.

8. Clinton campaign wants it out NOW so that it will be done and out of news cycle.

Whereas Sanders presently owns the topic and the timing of it.

Smart candidate vs desperate candidate.

I have always rejected the idea that income is an indicator of intelligence.

It is not, and it's an even worse indicator of integrity.

Bernie has both by landslide, over his opponents.
