Andrew Yang releases tax returns

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/472352-andrew-yang-releases-tax-returns

Democratic White House hopeful Andrew Yang released eight years of his tax returns Wednesday ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Yang released the returns for 2011 to 2018, the period after he created Venture for America, which offers two-year fellowships to help recent college graduates work at startups. The returns don’t include the period when he worked at a series of startups. Yang filed the tax returns jointly with his wife, Evelyn, whom he married in 2011.

The Yang campaign told The Hill that it decided to release Yang’s tax returns starting in 2011 because the founding of Venture for America was “a good milestone in his timeline.”

Yang’s 2018 federal tax return reported adjusted gross income of $121,418 and total taxes of $16,581, for an effective tax rate of 13.7 percent. Much of his income came from his writing and speaking, capital gains, and income from rental real estate and royalties.

I guess he has nothing to hide. I have seen criticism based on this issue. Thanks Andrew!

Is not an easy path. Privileged and well-entrenched vested interests are resistant to change. Even in the face of evidence that it will benefit them. Heaven forbid that “others” will benefit as well!
