The New York Times is undoubtedly pleased that it published more than two decades' worth of Donald Trump's tax returns. The self-congratulations are premature. The Times' article reveals that Trump was telling the truth all along about his audit. We can also see that Obama's policies benefited rich people. Finally, because the policies show how our complicated progressive tax system will always benefit rich people with good accountants, the Times unwittingly advanced the argument for a flat tax.
The Times' intrepid reporters are not interested in the fact that Joe Biden used his political connections to enrich his family, especially Hunter. They don't write that (to date) there is unrefuted evidence that Biden blocked the new Ukrainian government's efforts to root out corruption by withholding American money until Ukraine stopped investigating a corporation that paid Hunter for doing nothing. You'd think a major news outlet would find that intriguing a story involving political corruption and foreign meddling, but the Times has given it a hard pass.

From what I understand about US taxes, I am not surprised on how President Trump handled his affairs (that is if the New York Times story is true). You have your good years, and you have your bad years. And your tax returns will reflect that. But what I am surprised about is to learn that he has given his Presidential salary to charity every year for a total of $1.4 million. That is something that the main stream media is not talking about.
