I keep thinking all the anti Trump propaganda is coming out too soon.  The various enemies, so called 'friends', the deep state, Democrats and coastal media couldn't possibly keep it coming until Election Day.  Still, it keeps on coming.  The problem is still so many stories, so little time.

The tax thing needed to get out now, if there is any chance a decent analysis can be complete before FINAL election day --  and that's the real problem. Voting is happening now.  If GOP voters are waiting to vote on election day, then some really bad news to discourage them makes sense if you're a Democrat.  On the other hand, it won't have any impact on people who already voted, and not much on people getting ready to vote now.

Agreed. Some barber or bartender struggling to meet house payments who pays much more than $750 a year in federal income taxes because he has no means of dodging them can easily get furious about the low taxes that Trump pays. Some of us remember the late Leona Helmsley who once uttered the fatuous and offensive dictum "only the little people pay taxes".

Leona and Donald could have been the Borgias of New York, if they didn't hate one another.
