Since I don't want to be insulted for asking this on GDPee

7. There is no explanation, and the response if you ask is "Leave Bernie alone!!!!"

Jane, ever since Burlington College closed their doors and that GOP attorney said that he'd asked the US attorney to investigate her for bank fraud, has DISAPPEARED from the airwaves, where every question about those taxes were waved away with a dismissive "I don't want to talk about that...."

And she's the "tax expert" in the family...so that's how Bernie plays it. He doesn't do the taxes, SHE does--ask her (subtext: blame her).

Ask about those taxes, and the Brigade will try to create an equivalence between his hidden taxes and HRC's speech transcripts (which is utter bullshit--there's no requirement in federal law to create or maintain 'speech transcripts'--but there IS a requirement to file taxes).

Most people suspect that Bernie is a lot richer than he claims and that some of his investments may be intertwined with banking entities like Goldman Sachs or even offshore accounts, and that is why he doesn't want to give us a full accounting. Others believe he has, because of investments and so forth, paid much, much less than the "little guy" and Joe Lunchbox would take note of his hypocrisy.

It doesn't really matter, anyway. The next time we'll hear about these taxes is if he runs again for the Senate in 2018 against a "clean" challenger--and he might not be able to get away with pushing it off/bullshitting people like he's been able to do this time.
