That said she does seem to be a liberal - but where do Congress people get all this money - one just has to ask.

She's the most liberal woman in America, next to Clinton! Ignore all fair criticism's you've read about her over the years on DU. She's liberal compared to a lot of elected officials but that's not saying much.

AND she's a Clinton superdelegate. Other than that, completely impartial.

And who are you quoting the authoritarian meme?

to provide tax returns. What a sneaking and lying way to try to change the subject.

My understanding is that it's tradition but not a law.

to the public. It has been customary since the '70s but it is not required. The only requirement is the same one that applies to everybody, which is to file tax returns with the IRS. Which he did.

which is not correct.

requirements, and has failed to disclose those facts required. That means he was never serious about running for President.

Here is the requirement in plain English, Sanders has failed to file by May 15.

Senators who were Members for 61 days or more in the previous year are required to file an annual report by May 15 of each year.

There is no exception for "democratic" socialist senators, but Sanders took one anyway, like a common republican taking a whole pocketful of mints on the way out of a restaurant. Socialism: you can take what is not yours to take.

As he filed them also

She going to release her transcripts?

Perhaps you're just not paying attention.

Except for your high post count,I would have thought you are a Republican troll. Are you going to vote for Trump after Shanders loses?

And "Shanders?" Is that a typo, a smear, or what?

And we DO still have secret ballot. But here's a hint: NO creep is getting my vote.

And its only a historical fact in YOUR dreams. But if you want you dreams to come true badly enough, you will eventually end up believing they are true.

Example, think of all of the people on DU, perhaps you included, who were absolutely convinced Sanders would win the nomination, not a question in their minds. Think of people who still seem convinced that he has a good chance of making their dreams/beliefs come true.

But easier to carp about years not included. I guess those are the ones where he made and spent $31 million making speeches but doesn't want anyone to know. Or maybe that year he made a killing on oil stocks and stashed it away in secret real estate investments.

Sanders berned $1,000,000 IN ONE DAY chartering a Delta 767 jet for an overnight "pretend meeting with the Pope" junket to Rome for his family and friends.

39 in the House and 2 in the Senate. 37 of them have endorsed Hillary Clinton and none have endorsed Bernie Sanders.

4 members of the House have not endorsed anyone including Nancy Pelosi who says she won't be endorsing anyone because she is Minority Leader.

under that Bern Bus with ya.

Susan Sarandon has a good deal more than that. So does Michael Moore.

They've done well, but that's hardly a stratospheric amount of cash.

$3.2 Million? And from California? She could have been raking in a lot more

Plus she has incentive to support Hillary due to her family ties.

She has a lifetime 3% conservative voting record from the American Conservative Union.
Americans For Democratics Action gave her a 100% rating.
The AFL-CIO gives her a lifetime 97% pro-labor rating.

She has obviously been a better money manager than Bernie. What's he done with all that money?

all have wealthy husbands whose earnings count toward their net worth.

Boxer's husband, Stewart, a prominent attorney in Oakland, represents injured workers in worker's compensation cases, keeping a very low political profile. In 2006, the Boxers sold their house in Greenbrae, where they had lived for many years, and moved to Rancho Mirage.

Senator Boxer is number 44 in net worth among the 100 senators. By way of contrast, Republican California Congressman Darrell Issa has a net worth of $437 million, Nancy Pelosi is at $101 million and Diane Feinstein is at $94 million

Probably a whole lot more than that considering that he raised millions and millions in this campaign. That's millions that Jane Sanders has received in pay, because we all know that he has paid her for working on his campaigns. Open your eyes.

And was poor for much of his life.

decades upon decades. Their current net worth is modest, and most importantly, was all gained from ordinary income.

$174,000 a year in salary and when he was in the House of Representatives starting in 1991 he made $125,000 and when he left the House in 2007 he was making $165,000. He's made good money in the federal government for the last 25 years.
Bernie's wife made $160,000 a year as President of Burlington College and she got a $200,000 severance package when she left.

Values

he makes less in a year than she makes in one speech to Wall Street?? Wow!

If he's saved any money at all after working at good paying jobs for the last 50 years or more and having a gainfully employed wife and only 1 child to support, he should be worth well over a million. His home alone, with the mortage paid off by now should be worth at least $400,000.
His jobs in Congress for 25 years pay well over $100,000 a year plus benefits.

Does anyone pass the purity test anymore??

out of touch with the rest of Americans on economic issues.

that alone would give her a net worth of $3 million dollars. It's simple economics regarding Bay Area property values. It doesn't mean anything. I know people who have had similar home values that have escalated like that. The problem is that they love the area they live in and can't bring themselves to leave. They will move away once they retire and try to cash in, but by the time they fix it up and sell it and pay capital gains taxes on it, they won't have netted that much, particularly when they go house hunting in any other desirable part of the country.

Pretty amazing, huh?

the bus because they did not support Sanders. Establishment, I tell you. Corporatist.

Sanders walks into the Dem party, owns it, and dumps all party members to hold the title, that he has bashed for five decades.

What a man.

Policy matters more than personality.

Bernie would be worth that if he didn't use #berniemath in his financial decisions.

and live off the government teet.

That wording sounds like it could've been from FreeRepublic.

We do exist on this website you know.

You react the same way as Republicans and just proves what I've been saying before, that you guys are just moderate Republicans that lean left on social issues.

There is an anti success attitude among BSS that accuses anyone who has done well of being a Republican. You BSS think anyone besides Sanders supporters that has had success is evil. It's just plain ignorance.

Even though part of that prosperity was likely from the massive postwar boom that was made possible by both the aftermath of World War II and FDR's GI Bill.

education in something marketable and work hard. This is America baby!!

Then you indirectly benefited from it too.

Anyone else that had jobs during the postwar era also benefited due to the purchasing power of Americans during that time stimulating a lot of job growth.

...piss off California by attacking this popular legislator before their primary.

Winning!

account should be near this much. Everything I've read says that a couple should save at least one million in retirement accounts, and houses in California are expensive. I don't really think she's all that wealthy.

If you're not with us, you're against us.

If you don't follow our one path, you're doing the devil's work.

This tells you why Socialism can't work in this country without it being a totalitarian dictatorship. We are a melting pot that doesn't easily melt -- we divide, subdivide, and divide even further. Unless we get to the point of unity -- where we reach OUT to each other and form cohesion -- the ideals people like Sanders and his supporters espouse will never become reality... not even a step closer.

You guys don't give a shit that much of us are suffering, and act like economic issues are petty and can be ignored.

I know that's difficult, but try it.

Maybe we care as much (or -- gasp! -- MORE) about people who are suffering. Maybe even more Clinton supporters are AMONG the suffering, and maybe they aren't stupid. Maybe economic issues are the top priority involved.

Can you imagine that? Or are you just right all the time about everything?

yet its much harder to actually prove it. Words are cheap, actions and behavior are much more telling.

Just because you say so doesn't mean it's so.

My point is about being open to the possibility that maybe -- just maybe -- you are wrong, especially when you are characterizing what's inside other people's hearts and minds.

opposed to an ax? I want a cleaner cut.

However the economic issues are more important to me.

As MLK Said:

''What good does it do to be able to eat at a lunch counter if you can't buy a hamburger?''

And FDR was dirt poor, right?

definitely don't want to see that happen.

back?

remembered.

"Barbara Boxer's net worth is $3.2 million
No wonder why she can defiantly support Hillary..."

Anyone know what Weaver is worth? How about Silverman? Killer Mike?

I could do this all day. The argument you put forth is mentally bankrupt at best. That is giving you benefit of the doubt.

"Both Clintons declined to be interviewed or comment for this article."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/clinton-money

I wonder if she paid her fair share of taxes... just like Bernie does (so we're told.)

While we're on the subject, what was LBJ worth?

Here's another good Democrat who was wealthy, JFK. What was he worth?

What's Alan Grayson worth? Who is he supporting in the primaries?

Run with it!!

That's what powers DC.

Boxer, nor Hillary are even close to an FDR. he may have had money but he didn't earn it by graft, trading votes for gold, like most of the Corporate Dems do today.

etc. I can go on in some detail cherry-picking his actions.

He also ran on a platform of balancing the budget and cutting public expenditures in 1932.

He was also born into extreme wealth and privilege. I thought that was the ultimate sin. Boxer has never done anything sordid in her rise in wealth. She has simply been a public servant and her husband is a lawyer.

he was one bad dude for sure. It's taken your camp how many decades to try and undo the damage he accomplished for the middle class? And you're not completely done yet. God speed to you....time is running out.

The family of JFK and Bobby Kennedy and Ted Kennedy.

Grayson is supporting Bernie Sanders.
