Bernbots write he lives in small house, etc etc. And he really belongs to poor. One thing I don't understand, how he represents himself of poor minority when he has 6 figure income? And then he quickly throws stat comparing 280 million dollars income of his contemporaries to his 200k dollars. Bernbots get sigh of relief. Needless to mention, Bernie still belongs to 5% and he isn't poor. BERNIE IS A LIAR WHEN HE SAID HE DOESN'T HAVE SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF INCOME. Well, 200,000 dollar income says otherwise.

As much as he may think of himself as “one of the poorer members of the United States Senate,” Sanders is near the top 5 percent of all Americans in terms of income. The core of the Sanders campaign is getting the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share. Such high-minded principles should also apply to socialists making more than $200,000 a year. Sanders waited until late in the day on Friday to release his 2014 tax returns, obviously hoping voters would overlook the news that he and his wife, Jane, paid an effective tax rate of 13.5 percent, or $27,653 in federal taxes on an adjusted gross income of $205,271. Sanders’ six-figure income puts him in the 28 percent bracket for married joint filers. He cut that rate by more than half by taking more than $64,000 in deductions — all perfectly legal, but no one expected the redistributionist to redistribute less, on a percentage basis, than a prominent member of the capitalist class.
