Dude, youre a fuckin SENATOR . I mean wow.
So, Bernie Sanders wife is not a tax attorney, a CPA, she's not even a lawyer at all. She's not even a customer service specialist at H&R Block and she is doing a major public officials tax returns?!
Are you fucking kidding me?!
Look: Sanders says his wife is too busy to create a zip file of .pdf and have a millennial push it out there. Perhaps she is still working on this year's return. Alright. Go ahead and get the past returns out there. Should take an hour or so to erase all the private identity stuff as is customary. At the worst level, I am certain there is a copy machine somewhere in Vermont. I think.
I mean. This is the same guy who says every Democratic Party official who doesn't support him is corrupt, but he himself is a SENATOR and is completely transparent and without blemish. Except for the fact that his tax returns are not prepared by an independent third party, or himself.
So if there are errors, guess who's fault it is? Real nice guy.
She's staff too apparently. No seriously, she was literally also staff. He's got quite a reputation with his staff, I'll say.
SENATOR Sanders isn't you or me. He's a public official in the in the most exclusive establishment club there is. But apparently in his almost 30 years in Washington it never occurred to him that transparency starts in the mirror.
There's another thing: Even if Sanders refused blunty to make his tax returns public, it can't possibly be the behavior of a responsible public official of his rank to say to his wife who isn't even a tax professional at all, 'you handle this dear.' Wow. How does his staff let him get away with that? Even Sarah Palin as a sitting governor used H&R Block.
Plus this: Go look on Tax Returns list. Even Jeb Bush is up there with huge tax returns going back to 81. Obama up there to 2000. Biden to 98. Clinton back to 2000 (and more are available because Bill's are out there too). Kerry, McCain. Major presidency contending Senators. Only Mitt Romney is at the very bottom. Along with Bernie Sanders. And Donald Trump.
