In 2016 and 2017, Sanders earned more than $1M, mainly from a book he published about his 2016 presidential run.

Yeah but he failed to give to charity and certainly didn’t practice what he preaches regarding paying his own fair share.

Yeah and he paid over 30% in taxes, unlike our tax evading President. That's the difference.

I enjoyed and was enriched by his books. Read them cover to cover.

Why won't he release his tax returns though! (Sorry, they said they'd still pay me to keep tweeting that today)

You mean, people actually bought it 😜

So hes leveraging public service for monetary gain

$800,000 “income bump”? $800k is far from a bump.

Kind of thought it would be a heck of a lot more considering...

Trump and Burnie are just two sides of the same coin. A nationalist and a socialist but basically two power hungry, hateful and petty men. Nether are qualified to sit in that office.

It’s funny how a guy who has NEVER had a real World job, wrote a book about doing NOTHING. And Liberals bought into it.. lmao!! 😂😂

How much was he paid by Hillary to go away?

Not buying the book deal

He needs to give away at least 70% of it

Still waiting on Agent Orange

Still got his tax incentive and paid way less than what he's preaching for! You see, socialists want to keep all of their money. They only advocate to give up yours!

And.....?

And paid only 26 percent. Liberals like to talk about more taxes till they have to pay it.

You guys are ridiculous. It’s like Faux News level bad up in here. Total hacks. Sad.

If anyone deserves to gain from a book sale it's Bernie. It's also much more than your salaries at MSNBC gained from those corporate sponsors.

2018 wasn't shared in the headline, why not?

So now he is a 1%...let’s see where he goes from here! Let us not forget the truth...it was only 3 yrs ago and look at Venezuela now!

You believe that 💩?! Ignorance is bliss

How did he make money before that?

America will not think less of Bernie bc he crossed the million dollar mark, Bernie’s convictions are now stronger and even more compelling.

I’m happy for him.

That is a lie. Authors do not make that much on a book. Even if it’s a best seller, which his wasn’t.

$1M given to him for shutting up about the DNC rigging the primary in Clinton’s favor.

So you can make money from loosing?

I noticed you said publish and not wrote. Which I’m sure he didn’t.

Obviously Bernie doesn't believe his own platform. Anyway tweeting this to ensure that your readers are fully informed...

no one cares nerds.

Do as I say, not as I do. Bernie's new campaign slogan.

Cool. As long as he changes the healthcare system to single-payer, increases minimum wage, raises taxes on himself & other millionaires/billionaires, & resolves massive corporate tax evasion so they pay a fair share... I don’t care how much he makes.

Why does a socialist charge for a book? Why does a socialist multi millionaire not share his wealth...3% to charity isn’t a whole lot of sharing.

Capitalism

I’m actually surprised his income was that low. Good for him.

Good for him. Doesn't surprise me given his relative fame.

Now do Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters

26% tax rate for Comrade Bernie.. not so bad, maybe he doesn’t hate the free market so much after all? Why wouldn’t he want this opportunity for others?

At least he’s honest and release them !

I think what people don’t understand is that it’s not and never has been about punishing the rich it is about insuring everyone has what they need to live. That’s why he’s a socialist not a communist

He is a good writer

So what?

He's not running for Pope.

Bernie benefited from Trump tax cuts. So, why didn't Bernie give the federal government all the money he received. Because, he's a bigot and a liar.

Investigative Story: Bernie Sanders proves that Socialism does work. He's a millionaire. Tune in tonight for more details.

I don’t consider that a big deal.

Puts him in the top 22% of earners in Vermont and top 19% nationwide. Big deal. Next.

Mr Sanders need not apologize. His records are now available. Let the trumpists look themselves squarely in the mirror if they utter one word of criticism. They have no standing. Their man hides his secret dealings. Their man is a fraud. Their man stands for only himself.

What exactly does Bernie being a millionaire from working hard all his life have to do with him wanted to get justice for the People? Y’all are trash for this headline

Or read a book about a woman who overcame seemingly-impossible challenges. Mother's Century: A Survivor, Her People and Her Times New from Persimmon Alley Press PersimmonAlleyPress nonfiction WomenInHistory Holocaust JewishHistory

BernieFoxTownHall Bernie2020

I’m just glad he went on a Fox town hall today and was willing to not play softball all night and take some questions about his hypocrisy. On that note yes Bernie is your standard socialist wannabe hypocrite, the End.

So weird. A couple best selling authors have come forward and said they are nowhere near millionaire status with their books. I don’t think he made his money from a book...🤔

So most of y'all are ripping a man who released years of his tax returns but don't say shit about the 'man' who is currently president refusing to release his tax returns? Nice....

Now he can write another book about his 2020 run

Million Chump Change you have street drug dealers making million a month so what you're saying MSNBC!

MSNBC heard how well Bernie's townhall went on FOX so they figured it was the right time to try to bring him down again.

so you're saying that he is leveraging his presidential run to gain through capital means? Like....capitalism....

And? How many of us would love to publish a book? How many of us would love to earn a million dollars from it? grow up!

Also—this is very transparent msnbc. Very unflattering photo and cherry picking two years out of 10...other years are far less than a million. We see you 😠

LMAO... Keep that Narrative... Protect the DNC...

Two facts which make him not the number one choice for the Democratic nominee; he is not a Democrat, he will be 79 yo in November 2020. I really want to see a woman President! Hillary should be President now!

Well, go write your own book and you can make millions too! Capitalism at it's finest, unless you're running as a 'Dumbocrat Socialist'!

Is this supposed to be a big deal? A lot of politicians are wealthy. This is non-news. When are we going to see idiot man’s taxes, that’s what I’d like to know.

He should have donated the proceeds!! 👍 instead with the “millionaires & billionaires “ crowd! 👌 nice! 🙄 I’m sure he’ll get right on those tax increases...😂

what percent of his income did he donate? How does that percent compare to other candidates? How much was sheltered from taxes, and again, compare to others. Earnings alone aren't the story

What?! He’s richer than BetoORourke! 😮😱 But I thought Beto was a billionaire! 😂😏💙🇺🇸 Beto2020

Hey, MSNBC, now that he's released his taxes & shown that he pays them (unlike some OTHER politicians), why don't you report on his policies. No one cares that he earned a lot from book sales. He's still pushing a higher tax rate for 1% (himself) & making the US better. Thanks!

I love capitalism!

Bernie is in the 1% club. 🤔😂😂😂

Ok. Now let's discuss something important.

And gave virtual pennies to poor. The man is a fraud and a hypocrite who manages to somehow be less charitable than Donald Freaking Trump.

New money and a new millionaire. It doesn’t change his heart. Trump was raise in privilege and Bernie was not. Leave him alone.

SINO... socialist in name only.

Sources say: Capitalism works

How much did his wife steal and how much was donated by corporations

Open socialist who owns 3 homes.

Wish focused on actually reporting why BernieSanders's foreign policy sets him apart:

Hypocrite

Made millions running, so will burnie the country down again to make millions more.
