Democratic candidates for the 2020 presidential race are ramping up their campaigns by releasing their tax returns … yeah, it’s dumb and hilarious at the same time. We realize they’re trying to set themselves up for the, ‘I released my returns, why won’t Trump, what’s he hiding’ talking point but this has NOT gone well for them.
Reminds us of when Elizabeth Warren released her DNA results.
Catastrophe.
Here's how much of their income 2020 Dems gave to charity in 2017:
Beto – 0.31% (no, that's not a typo)
Harris – 1.4%
Gillibrand – 1.7%
Klobuchar – 1.9%
Sanders – 3.4%
Inslee – 4%
Warren – 5.5%Why does it not surprise me that Warren leads the pack? https://t.co/UVw0QEEqEU

.31%, Beto?! Yes, that’s POINT THREE ONE …. wow.
1.4%, Harris?!
For reference, average charitable giving is about 3-4 percent for itemizers in the $75K to $2 million range.
It's much higher at lower incomes…but that's probably a self-selecting group, since a smaller share of them itemize. https://t.co/0ixmyRAHqK

So most of them don’t even donate the average … wow.
Democrats.
Wealthy Democrats who want to take your money and give it to other people don’t want to give their own money to other people. https://t.co/SBinem3uVG

Fair point.

Was this supposed to help or hurt Democrats?

Excellent question.
Do as I say, not as I do?

Dems could put this on a bumper sticker, true story.
These people make me sick, seriously
