Thats kinda brewsters millions.
Should have gone with none of the above as his tagine.
He did sell himself on being qualified to close all the loopholes because he knew them all. I think his financial dealings are too complicated to rile his base anyway, there was ample evidence of shenanigans at the start of the primaries, no one cared.Liveinadive wrote:The big story in it seems to be that the bulk of the tax he paid is through a tax scheme he wants to abolish.
So naturally, the Dems aren't embracing him and his policies.A new Fox News poll out this week shows Sanders has a +28 net favorability rating among the US population, dwarfing all other elected politicians on both ends of the political spectrum. And he’s even more popular among the vaunted “independents,” where he is at a mind boggling +41.
This poll is not just an aberration. Look at this Huffington Post chart that has tracked Sanders’s favorability rating over time, ever since he gained national prominence in 2015 when he started running for the Democratic nomination. The more people got to know him, they more they liked him - the exact opposite of what his critics said would happen when he was running against Clinton.
