The OP started this thread after I started this one, which hits the nerve:

I don't need to see Bernie tax returns, I already know he's poor.

nope, zero nerves struck. Hillary already said she's not releasing the transcripts until everyone else does. That's besides the fact that only someone delusional thinks there is anything incriminating given that these were publicly made statements and it would have come out long ago if she did make some illicit deals.

However, Bernie has promised multiple times to release his tax returns and meet the standard expected from all candidates for president. But he keeps lying about having released them already - false, and then keeps lying some more that he will be doing so. He said 2015 would be released as soon as it was filed - it was due on Monday, but still nothing. Plus going back several years, where Jane's financial problems will start coming to light.

And don't bother to start arguing about the Clinton Foundation. It's real and it does good in the world. When you have started your own charitable foundation, I'll listen to what you have to say.
Wha- what she donated to herself?!!! How kind and what a wonderful deed. She has my vote now!!

Anyone dumb enough to believe the Clintons are compassionate needs a good Psychiatrist.

Then again, he also took hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign donations to pay for his Pope stalking. I hope he hasn't burned through all of his personal money because when the FEC reviews that one, he's going to be asked to pay it back as it's not a valid campaign expense. But I'm sure the lobster sliders they had on the plane were delicious!
I'm no Bernie fan, but $9000 in business meals is not as big a deal as you are making it out to be. Business dinners often involve large groups of people. And you can't exactly bring them to McDonalds. And unlike the single mom, you can't expect Bernie to go to the grocery store, but the food, and cook it for them.

I sometimes have to pay for business dinners for 10 people, where the check comes out to $1000 for 1 meal, drinks and tip. I don't like it, because it is still money that is coming out of my business, but at least I don't have to pay taxes on it.
