Favorite group: Hillary Clinton, 3000 posts in the last 90 days (99% of total posts)
But thought this is worth it!
They have 3 long weeks to release the taxes. Actually don't think Jane will be doing lots of interviews, with the taxes and the Burlington College Shut-Down!

(67,782 posts)First it was going to be April 18, then April 29 (BTW, accountants "checking them" AFTER they were submitted?), and here we are three weeks later - nothing.
One more thing, to those who don't like us using the Celtic Cross, what is that symbol on those button?

(6,444 posts)They were sent to be checked over 3 weeks ago, as per JS! Has been enough time I'd say!!!

(2,798 posts)They have too much to hide about their assets (multiple properties and possible rental income), lack of charitable donations (Sanders doesn't believe in charity), indirect investments in fracking and other oil and gas interests (mutual funds, etc.), $200k golden parachute paid to Jane for running Burlington College into bankruptcy, Sanders campaign money paid to Jane (for her services), toxic waste committee money paid to Jane, and god knows what else.
I suppose that Jane has every reason to avoid public scrutiny at this time. But, since they filed jointly and Bernie signed the 1040, it is his responsibility to release the tax forms as well. Passing the buck and the blame to Jane lessens Bernie's credibility. How can he talk about breaking up banks, when he can't even understand or manage his own personal financial accounts? Potential voters have a right to know this stuff.
In the end, he and Jane will be saved by the bell. Hillary's winning the primary will turn out to be a blessing, because there will no longer be any need for him to release anything, until his Vermont Democratic rival in 2018 makes the same demand once again.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)What an excuse for a serious Presidential candidate!
Koinos
(2,798 posts)Isn't his whole campaign about money, who has it, who doesn't have it, and why? It seems to me that he ought to have educated himself a bit more about money and numbers (math), if he wanted to prescribe cures for "income inequality." Or does he just want to spout words, without any intention of getting something done? Getting something done about money requires knowledge of money and financial transactions. He seems to be better versed in Marxist theory than he is in economics or finance. Maybe he just never bothered to study this stuff, since he regarded finance as a corrupt profession dominated by evil capitalists. For my part, I enjoy learning about everything, even things that fall outside of my talents or interests. I am curious about what makes things work. But, if you want to criticize banking and finance, you have to begin by thoroughly understanding the system and how it operates. Blaming billionaires for everything lacks nuance, and it doesn't really accomplish anything.

(6,444 posts)The bill, called the Presidential Tax Transparency Act, would require a presidential candidate to release the most recent three years of tax returns to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) within 15 days of becoming the nominee at the party convention. If the candidate refuses to comply, the Treasury Secretary would provide the tax returns directly to the FEC for public release.
Let that last part sink in for a minute.
Sen. Wyden said, about the bill, Since the days of Watergate, the American people have had an expectation that nominees to be the leader of the free world not hide their finances and personal tax returns.
I happen to agree with him.
Sen. Wyden continued, Tax returns deliver honest answers to key questions from the American public. Do you even pay taxes? Do you give to charity? Are you abusing tax loopholes at the expense of middle-class families? Are you keeping your money offshore? People have a right to know.

Her Sister
(6,444 posts)Full tax reports! Not just the ones for 2014!!
Woohoo!!!! So great someone finally asking this question about the BS campaign!!!
Koinos
(2,798 posts)He is stalling. Bernie and Jane ARE hiding things. Losing the nomination will be a plus for them in this respect: They won't have to release the tax returns ever.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)We will see those taxes soon!!! Soon! Soon! Am sure! so sure!
Koinos
(2,798 posts)But I think there is a better chance of our winning Powerball.
Politicub
(12,288 posts)Go ahead and release them already.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)Before Tuesday!? I hope, right!?

(3,284 posts)He's determined to conceal the information that other candidates have made available; obviously he feels no such obligation to voters.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)That's the FEC filing he asked to postpone til June 14th, I believe!
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)Bernie release your taxes like Weaver told Chris Mathews. Its now "Next week".

(44,173 posts)He won't be the nominee, so fine, he can keep his tax returns secret.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)Wondering what happened?
Koinos
(2,798 posts)Their promises to do so were empty, like many of Bernie's other promises.
The "postponed" financial disclosure should be coming out.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)Will find the link ...

(33,552 posts)I'm not far from Philly -
Could the protest of the protestors be - "Show us the Returns!"
I would go there for that. . . just to piss them off.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)types who might not agree and will show it.
I live in SoCal so I can't be there, but wouldn't it be perfect if the counter-protest would be Hillary Clinton supporters demanding that BS and JS release their taxes just like they promised?
JustAnotherGen
(33,552 posts)Out in GD we have a bunch of passive aggressive folks demanding we bow down to their gunner mentality.
I'm not afraid of those people.
A lot aren't from this area and have no idea how vicious and filthy our mouths can be.

(6,444 posts)Remind people that they didn't release the taxes every day they keep at it like they are.
Koinos
(2,798 posts)They need to be needled about this.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)Poking my head and checking about those taxes since they said numerous times they were releasing! Am wondering if they meant to do so at any time? This is just baffling!
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)Guess too busy with the Holiday! But maybe tomorrow we can get the taxes finally as promised. Crossing fingers.

(6,444 posts)the country inciting his Whatever Revolution and doing non-sense stunts because they have the time and the "anger" to do so.
I want him at hard at work and BTW I don't see him as a hard worker. Vermonters probably deserve him since they kept voting for him and never asked for his taxes. Wondering how they feel about the Burlington College Fiasco.
Koinos
(2,798 posts)I think there is worry in Vermont that Bernie has angered many of his Senate colleagues and, as a result, will be less effective in getting things done for Vermont. He may have less clout from now on. That would create an opportunity for people like Al Giordano to run against him.
It appears that Goddard College has agreed to accept former Burlington College students. Al tweeted this, but I can't find a link in Google News.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)We are sad to see Burlington College, a fellow liberal arts school with a similar mission to honor the individuality of each student and to engage learning around the relationship between education and experience, close its doors, Goddard College President Robert P. Kenny said. It is a natural fit to offer to accept Burlingtons currently enrolled students into our programs. Like Burlington, we offer an educational model that allows the student to design their own course of study.
Goddard will accept all credits in transfer from Burlington College and will make every effort to work with students to develop a plan of study that does not unduly delay the students completion date, said Gariot P. Louima, dean of enrollment & external affairs.
Undergraduate students with less than sixty credits may choose to attend Goddard Undergraduate Program, which includes the Individualized BA, BA in Health Arts & Sciences, and BA in Sustainability degrees.
Students beyond the Associate Degree level may choose to attend Goddards Undergraduate Program, Education Program (BA in Education), Psychology & Counseling Program (BA in Psychology), or BFA in Creative Writing Program.
Students pursuing the Master of Arts degree at Burlington College may matriculate as graduate students in Goddard Colleges graduate programs, including the Individualized Master of Arts, MA in Education, MA in Health Arts & Sciences, MA in Social Innovation & Sustainability, MA in Psychology, MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, MFA in Creative Writing and MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts.

(42,862 posts)... the fact that they never released them is enough for me to know that they were hiding something embarrassing. They made a calculated decision on which would be worse.
We certainly dodged a bullet with those two.
Alerter: This is my opinion.
