The bulk of Sanders’s income came from books he has written about his democratic socialist platform, which includes a call for higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
By Michael Kranish and Michael Kranish National political investigative reporter Email Bio Follow Sean Sullivan Sean Sullivan Reporter covering national politics Email Bio Follow April 15 at 6:00 PM Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has made income inequality a hallmark of his presidential campaign, earned with his wife about $566,000 last year and $1.15 million in 2017, putting them in the nation’s highest income brackets, according to tax returns released by the presidential candidate on Monday.
That squares with a financial disclosure report that Sanders filed last year as a senator, which showed that he earned $880,000 in royalties from book deals. The earliest return released yesterday, for 2009, was done by hand, which may indicate that the Sanders did the taxes themselves. It showed they had total income of $314,742. All of the other returns have typed entries.
He added,"I don't apologize for writing a book that was number three on the New York Times bestseller [list]." “I don’t think it’s a problem that someone has been successful in the private sector,” said Sullivan, who supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primary. “He seemed defensive about it and I don’t think he should be.”
