Bernie Sanders, at combative Fox News town hall, makes no apologies for making millions

Bernie and Beto released 10 years of tax returns today. Bernie thinks an income over a million makes you a millionaire, but the definition is "net worth". He should have become a millionaire during the 90s in Congress.

According to the returns, Sanders and his wife paid a 26 percent effective tax rate on $561,293 in income, and made more than $1 million in both 2016 and 2017. Sanders donated only $10,600 to charity in 2016 and $36,300 in 2017, the records showed, followed by nearly $19,000 in 2018.

Separately, Sanders acknowledged that his proposed Medicare for All health care overhaul -- which has also been embraced by other 2020 Democrat hopefuls, including Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren -- would mean that many Americans would "pay more in taxes."

Some estimates put the total costs for the plan over 10 years at more than $32 trillion, and say it would necessitate historic tax hikes.
