[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.
Exactly. Nothing to be ashamed of by abiding by the law. Taking whatever deductions that you're due. Doing so shouldn't even be questioned.
True. But if Mr. Trump's returns showed he paid no taxes then this reflects on how the rich own the IRS code thanks to Congress and the Republican presidents.
