Has Bernie Sanders ever paid income taxes to the state of New York?

[Cali_Democrat]

Or did he leave New York as soon as he turned 18?

Has he ever contributed anything to that state?

[revbones]

1. Reaching but just can't quite get there huh?

[Sheepshank]

2. I don't think he worked prior to bolting out of the state of NY

he's not what I would have considered a contributing member of society for much of his life.

[All in it together]

5. Does putting Bernie down feel good to you?

Thanks but no thanks for your contribution here.

[ThePhilosopher04]

24. He's contributed more in one hour of his life than Hillary or any of her supporters ever will.

[grasswire]

34. this is outrageous and really stupid.

You must feel pretty desperate about your candidate.

36. bern

Bernie's private sector experience consists of the odd carpentry job in between unemployment stints in Northern Vermont in the early 70's.

Jane, however ran a private college . . . Into the ground.

3. On a related matter

Did Goldman Sachs withhold New York taxes from the near half-million dollar check they wrote her for salving their conscience for destroying the economy and getting paid (back) to do it??

[Viva_La_Revolution]

11. did that go to the same shell company that her book royalties did?

Or maybe she has different ones for those checks. Like the different superpacs.

4. He pays federal taxes which go towards the country of which NY is a part of

[Cali_Democrat]

6. Doesn't New York pay out more in federal dollars than they get?

[putitinD]

26. No. you are thinking of RED states

[tammywammy]

30. You're reading it wrong. NY gives more in taxes than it receives back. n/t

[LuvLoogie]

31. Read again...

[tammywammy]

29. Yes, NY pays more in federal taxes than it receives back.

7. we subsidize the rest of the country, not the other way around nt

[sadoldgirl]

14. You think that CA does not??

What utter arrogance!

[geek tragedy]

15. I didn't say anything about CA. nt

[sadoldgirl]

23. You claimed that NY supports the rest of the country.

Sounds like NY supports all of the 50 states.

[geek tragedy]

25. No just that we send USG more $$ than it sends nt

[Tarc]

8. It is hilarious that some people in the DU think New York is considered Sanders home state

even though he hasn't lived there for almost 50 years, but it isn't not considered Hillary's home state, even though she has lived there for almost 20.

Case in point, this guy; http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1713612

[NurseJackie]

9. Looks like Bernie is not going to win his "home state". Nor will he be the Democratic nominee.

[Nanjeanne]

10. This obsession with Bernie is sad. Surely there's something about HRC you can post about.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Cali_Democrat]

12. ...and Bernie supporters never post about HRC. nt

[grossproffit]

17. Selective readers blow my mind.

It's like...HELLO! This entire forum is filled with negative Hillary posts.

[Kalidurga]

28. It's sad isn't it?

That there is enough negative stuff about Hillary Clinton to fill an entire forum.

[TheDormouse]

13. Better question: Has Bernie ever used a shell company?

[morningfog]

16. Son of a bitch mooches for 18 then hit the road, eh?

Make this brilliance go viral. It'll sick him ton10 per cent.

[beam me up scottie]

21. LOLOLOL! Right? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!1!

[JackRiddler]

18. Clinton has evaded taxes in so many more states than Sanders!

[jmg257]

19. One day, he took third place in the New York City indoor one-mile race.

Why - is he running for NY Governor?

[Logical]

20. LOL, your posts are always silly. Entertaining. nt

[Barack_America]

22. Hi, no. He stayed a year to care for his dying mother.

[polly7]

27. So bitter, petty and spiteful.

How do you get through your day?

[Kalidurga]

32. Oh noes Bernie has evaded paying taxes in at least 48 states.

Hillary might have payed taxes in more states. Can't say she has been much of a contributor though unless being on the Board of Walmart gave her some kind of bona fides. By this logic I guess the only people qualified to be President are those people who have lived and worked in all 50 states.

I do wish you would tire of being ridiculous think of all you could accomplish if you actually focused on an issue rather than making idiotic posts.

[choie]

33. What the hell are you talking about

Jesus Christ you're supporting a corrupt candidate who takes millions in bribes from corporations and you put out shit like this? Bernie's participation in the fight for fair housing back in the '60s alone is more of a contribution to this country than your candidate had made in her entire life.

[Bluenorthwest]

35. Since when did tax paying kick in at 18?

Your point of view is decidedly of the right. The more liberal view is that everyone pays taxes. Anyone visiting NY certainly pays plenty of sales taxes and hospitality taxes, fees here, tariffs there. Obviously this holds true for anyone living there as well. So kids pay taxes when they purchase and minors also pay income tax when they earn, and many do. Apparently not you, but many, many do.
