To the Editor:
Re “Campaign Struggles to Move Past Tax Revelation” (front page, Oct. 3):
Taxes are everyone’s sore spot. We all hate them and try to exploit tax laws to get out of as much as we can. Sometimes using loopholes in the tax laws can get sketchy, but most of us would use them if we had the opportunity.
Now that Donald Trump’s tax history has been acknowledged, can we please move on to more important things? This presidential race seems to be about slandering each candidate and ignoring the big questions of which candidate and his or her platform would be best for our country.
Let’s move on.

Note from KBJ: I must be missing something in this Trump tax business. Is there a single person in the entire country who, upon calculating his or her taxes for the year (taking advantage of every exemption or deduction allowed by law), says, "Although I don't owe the IRS any money, I think I'll send a check anyway"?
