NY Times scandalized by its own baseless guess that Trump might pay little or no income tax

I don't know any normal people who are pining for Donald Trump to release his tax returns, since normal people don't care how much political candidates pay in taxes. But journalists are obsessed with the matter, because they decided long ago for some bizarre reason that if a candidate has paid a lot in taxes, that is somehow a recommendation of him as a good president. That makes no sense whatsoever, which we'll get to in a moment. But first, let's check the recent fine work of the New York Times. Since they don't have Trump's tax returns, they went to a variety of "tax experts" and asked what said experts think Trump might pay in taxes. This thorough exercise in journalistic guesswork produced the wild-ass speculation that Trump might not pay very much. Or maybe even - gasp - nothing!
