The New York Times may have uncovered the fact that Donald Trump has not paid taxes, possibly for many years.
The sad part is that Trump probably did it all legally, thanks to loopholes Congress has put in place to make it easier for the wealthy to skip out on their responsibility.
Recall the Republican gospel is that taxes are too high on the "producers." It was only a natural extension of that ideology to go to bat for the wealthy any way they could, including the tax code.
For those who take the admonishment “to whom much is given, much is expected” seriously (like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc.), they accept their responsibility (in what they say and what they pay) rather than evade it.
Trump has failed the test of: "Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking."
Well, everybody is looking now.
