Clintons release their latest tax returns - ouch, they took a hit

"Hillary Clinton’s income took a huge hit as she ran for president last year, dropping to less than half of what she made the year before, according to tax returns her presidential campaign released Friday.

Mrs. Clinton hoped the release would embarrass GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has refused to release any of his, while also shining a light on the high rate she and her husband paid in their own taxes.

The power couple reported earning $10.7 million in income in 2015, and claimed a tax liability of $3.6 million.
It’s a major drop in income from the more than $28 million they earned in 2014 and $27 million in 2013 — the two years after Mrs. Clinton left the State Department, but before she was running for president.

The Clintons’ federal taxes in 2015 amounted to 34.2 percent of their income, and their combined federal, state and local taxes were 43.2 percent. They donated 9.8 percent of their adjusted gross income to charity.

“Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine continue to set the standard for financial transparency as she releases her 2015 personal tax return and builds on the Clintons’ tradition of making their returns public since 1977 and Kaine releases 10 years of his returns,” Jennifer Palmieri, the Clinton campaign communications director, said."

Don't you hate it when politicians 'of the people' pay more in taxes in one year than many of 'the people' earn in a lifetime ?

But worse is the Drumpf, whose certain use of tax shelters and base trickery means he pays little to nothing in taxes.

Sigh.

Government.... of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich. So their wealth will not perish from this earth.

I don't begrudge anybody "earning" their money because I don't anyone begrudging mine when I hit it big.

I have no doubt that the Clintons would have paid MUCH less in taxes if not for the fact that they knew their returns would be under a microscope during the campaign. I'm sure they mapped out the finances years ago to look good in 2016.

What IS Dumbf hiding? This should be the broken record that Dems play until Dumbf's UNREDACTED returns are made public.

(Because you know if they ARE ever released, they'll have more holes than a slice of swiss cheese…)

Maybe not less in taxes but they certainly would not have seen any drop in income.
