    Why isn't Trump suing NYT if the story is false?

    Why? Because he would have to produce the tax returns for those years for the court case and he doesn't want to do that.

    Yes, every year. Not by Trump but by the idiots that make the tax law that allow people to pay little or no tax. GE for example.
    Corporations don't actually pay tax anyway but their employees should. Allowing people to get away with paying very little taxes needs to be fixed. Congress critters are too smart to actually fix it though. They know that rich people make most (or all) of their money from cap gains. The left likes to play games like saying that the top tax brackets needs to be higher but they know that it won't really do anything other than hurt upper middle class. They won't touch cap gains because those are the people that keep them in power.

    ~ I am fairly certain the Mueller squad did a thorough check on Trump's personal finances to make sure Uncle Putin was not there hiding. That's how they got Cohen and Manafort .

    It’s not their job to help candidates hide their dirty laundry until we can’t do anything about it

    Exposing criminals is "lefty" propaganda.

    IRS is currently disputing a 100 million refund Donald Trump claimed while paying no tax.

    'The Emperor' has no wallet because he has no clothes.

    Well the NYT didn't refer to him as a criminal? Are you branching out without marching orders :)

    ~ We don't know that. We do know how Andrew Weissman works. Trump was the target - not Manafort and Cohen.

    Trump was born rich and looks like he lost most of it and owes more than he has if all this is true - Sad!

    I think the rich should pay more tax than (or at least the same) the working class, I do not think it's jealousy to think so - Trump paying zero dollars or even $750 a few years is crazy - course he may have to end up paying back due taxes

    I remember when Harry Reid lied and claimed Romney didn't pay taxes. This story has a similar odor to it.

    That has already been debunked. It’s a lie.
