Do you think The NY Times story about Trump's taxes will hurt Trump?

Asked by crazyguy (3207points) September 27th, 2020

Most American taxpayers have not even heard of esoteric items in the IRS code like Net Operating Loss. So I have a problem with journalists presenting something they themselves do not understand fully. Actually I have three problems:

1. They are presented as tax “dodges”; the fact is they are used by most businesses.
2. The final tax payment tis compared to that of the average citizen.
3. For years the same journalists have been denigrating Trump’s business acumen. Normally, the lack of business acumen results in businesses losing money, which results in no tax being paid. Yet when they realize little or no tax was paid, they seem to suspect something sinister.

Since the average Trump supporter and hater won’t even understand the tax info, will it harm Trtump’s chances in November?
