Is this the bombshell that dooms Trump for good?

Supposed successful business man took a near billion dollar loss in 1995 and has paid almost no income tax ever since: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/donald-trump-tax-records-new-york-times-229012

Most politicians are crooked lying cheating bastards.

Why are you referring to Ben as Eddie?

ONLY around 27% of potential American voters like/want/trust Trump...

A lot of voters would have to stay away from the election, to allow Trump's mob to take the Oval Office..

Frankly, the fact that he took a $916-million loss and is now carrying it forward is not illegal.  It is neither "crooked" nor "cheating" to file a tax return that takes advantage of allowable tax deductions.  

Where this is inconvenient for Trump is politically.  Trump has tax accountants and lawyers who do this for him; how many little people can afford that?  So this emphasizes how privileged people get more privileges; as George Orwell said in Animal Farm, "...all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Trump started his campaign as the 'everyman's' candidate: I am like you, guys...the Washingtonian outsider, who was getting screwed by the establishment!  This shows he's a privileged rich man and the ultimate insider.  He lives a cush life, while paying accountants and lawyers to assure that, unlike mr. average, he never has to pay for his privileges.  I mean, how much is he like you when he gets more than you, and unlike you, he never pays a cent for it.

Additionally, it emphasize the disparity of wealth and income, which is the argument, not of the RW or Trump, but the argument of Bernie Sanders.  Sander's followers are running away from Trump, not toward him.  As an aside, in addition to his other privileges, non-payment of taxes shows he has not even paid for his right to be president.

Finally, look at it from the other perspective: a $916-million loss??  Trump is touting himself as a smart business person; what kind of a businessman loses that kind of money?  Is this guy a loser...or what?

But, few are as immature and inept as Trump.  The man has money = power, but with no sense of responsibility.  Now he's attacking Hillary on allegations of marital infidelity.  EXCUSE ME??!!  Does Trump really want to go there?  He has publicly humiliated two of his three wives with open and obvious affairs.  It appears his sexist vision of the world comes around again: Ah, but that's different...men can do these kinds of things.

How desperate does that make him look?  How incompetent?  How little self-awareness and such insensitivity!  Does anyone want such a desperate soul negotiating, say, with the Iranians?  Truly, this is a flawed personality.

well I dont know about you in america but whenever I did a self assessment tax return I ended up with a rebate.
And that is without the help of any accountants or tax lawyers, that's just filling in the figures online. it does rather suggest that the tax man is not our friend and should not be trusted to take only what he is legally allowed to take.

Only an idiot pays more than he is required to.
