If you assume that the NY Times story about Trump's tax situation is true, would it affect your decision whether or not to vote for him?
Specifically, they're alleging that he took a huge tax loss back in the '90's which allowed him to counterbalance huge amounts of future income. Everyone is acknowledging that this appears to be completely legal
The way I see it, Trump lost his money, Hilary will try and lose yours and mine.

Ha ha, silly libs.
Seniors do NOT rely on our tax dollars, they rely on a lifetime of their own tax dollars that they've been paying all along.
I pay into medicare for my future, not my parents' future.
My parents already paid into their own care many years ago.
If a crooked government squandered the money, that's our fault too... for electing all of these crooked libs into office.

Wow, you do like the kool-aid, huh?

If Hillary doesn't understand the difference between high income, wealth and is willing to mislead people about taxes, she has no business being a president.
Oh, she understands it all very well, she just don't give a bleep, and why should she?
^^ and see how the left is fighting this. I worked in healthcare and I know how her push for Hillarycare effected patient care (in a bad way). Patient care should focus on the sick people, not the insurance company.
You're giving Hillary credit for trying but not for results.
Republicans focused on insurance companies and Republicans prevented Hillary from passing health coverage. Republicans oppose health coverage now, in the past and always. One woman faced down an entire party and they ripped her to shreds for trying. I've been impressed by that ever since. I was young and quite impressed by what she tried to do. No Republican, male or female has tried to do what Hillary did and I give her a mountain of credit for trying.

You're impressed by attempt but not by results. Believe me I know how it worsened patient care.
Hillary will extort our monies if elected to that chance imo.
Many people don't realize that when someone goes into a business it's called "a business venture" = not a positive guaranteed $ return.
Venture.... a risky or daring journey or undertaking.
And regular people who need money to start or grow a business need capital. They don't have access to public funding (stock market) like big companies do so they try to get VENTURE CAPITAL.
People hammering Trump are just computer chair warriors for Hillary. Most never ran a business and if they try most fail.

Because insurance companies controlled care? That is on Republicans because insurance company lobbyists paid them to care. That is not on Hillary. I am amazed that you cannot make that connection. No Republican male or female has ever tried to do what Hillary did and she faced an onslaught. Those Republicans were taking insurance company money hand over fist and you blame Hillary for fighting for Americans? You definitely sound like a Trump supporter. By the way, in case you haven't heard, Trump thinks his daughter is really hot.

Hillary's attempt turned it into insurance centric instead of patient centric, Then Obama finished the job
Since Trump is the scum of the earth he simply continues to live up to my low expectations. I already assumed he was hiding the fact that he pays no taxes. It's a confirmatory revelation....though one I didn't need to have a low opinion of him. The fact that he lost almost a billion dollars also confirms that he is not the wondrous business person that his disciples think he is. His attitude, following Leona Helmsley, is that only little people pay taxes...and the revelations coming out about his foundation is that laws and regulations are for little people...he is above all of that. Trump's disciples say he is not part of the establishment....no, he sees himself as being above the establishment and not subject to the rules that govern commerce or social interaction. But he uses the establishment when he needs to be bailed out of some poor judgement predicament that he blunders into. He plays everybody as if they were fools.
