emocratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders released his 2014 tax returns Friday night, showing that he paid $27,653 in federal taxes on adjusted gross income of $205,271.
The Vermont senator pledged to release the filings during the Democratic debate on Thursday night after sparring with Hillary Clinton over financial disclosure issues.
The majority of Sanders’ earnings came from his $174,000 salary as a U.S. senator, as well as Social Security benefits.
The returns, filed jointly with his wife, Jane, were just as “boring” and straightforward as Sanders repeatedly said they would be, particularly compared to those of Hillary Clinton, his multi-millionaire opponent for the nomination.
After tax payments of $31,825, Sanders collected a $4,172 refund. They donated $8,350 to charity.

What a joke. This clown donated a paltry $8 thousand plus to charities. I'd love to see the list of beneficiaries.
