[quote=vision63]The question is what methods would they have employed to pay "much" less taxes? The implication is that they would have employed nefarious methods. I see no evidence that would generate "no doubts." Warren Buffet and Michael Bloomberg offered to show off their taxes in a challenge to Trump too. If there were legal ways for the Clintons to reduce their taxes legally, then I'm sure they would have employed them. Why wouldn't they?
Because making $10M and paying 7% overall taxes would look horrible to the avg person. YES, I'm a cynic. I believe that the Clintons have done everything in their power in the last several years to make Hilary an electable person in 2016. There is nothing nefarious about NOT taking deductions that you are legally able to take.
I'm totally confused. The Clintons have released their full tax records since some time in the 1990s. There is nothing new - or news worthy - here.
I also have absolutely nothing wrong with '...the Clintons have done everything in their power in the last several years to make Hilary an electable person in 2016.' Why is that a negative statement, written by a cynic? Wouldn't we WANT someone who plans to run for President to be on their best behavior for years before running?
As for Romney - it's clear his taxes were a liability in the public's eye. No way Trump will EVER release his.
