Obamas’ Tax Return Shows Most Income Is From Salary

WASHINGTON — President Obama and his wife, Michelle, earned $477,383 in adjusted gross income in 2014, a slight decrease from the previous year, and paid $93,362 in federal taxes, according to a tax return released by the White House on Friday.

Most of Mr. Obama’s income comes from his $400,000 salary as president, and he now receives far less in royalties from his books than he did early in his presidency. In 2008 and 2009, Mr. Obama earned a total of $8.1 million from his two autobiographies, “Dreams From My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope.” In 2014, the royalties totaled $94,889.

Too bad Obama couldn't deduct the expenses from his many taxpayer paid vacations.

Probably would have gotten a 6 figure return.

I also wonder how much of his "stash" is lying off-shore somewhere.

He ought to be required to pay taxes on the value of the vacations. That probably would eat up their entire income.

Obama made his millions off the sucka’s who bought his ‘books’ and the US taxpayers.
plus the other not-so-hidden perks. When he retires more fools will add to his wealth.

Obamas’ Tax Return Shows Most Income Is From Salary


While totally ignoring any offshore accounts..
Actually who would question his Tax Return?.. The IRS?.. Justice Department..

The leaders serve by HIS HAND.. He OWNS THEM..
His Tax return could (and probably is) BULL SPERM...

Has Obama ever really told the truth?.. about anything?..
Heck the man OWNS Boehner and McConnell.... his “bitches”..

WHATS ILLEGAL.... is what he SAYS is illegal..

Not to worry, he will get $20 million advance for his nonsense memoir. More lies sanctioned by the liar in chief.

Ordinary folks would have fringe benefits counted as taxable wages.

Well not to worry. As soon as he leaves office Barky will be spewing his BS to the faithful at about $200,000 per spewing engagement.

SEIU members, NAACP members, PACs and other useful idiots. But even THEY have to hold their nose these days.

Everything Obola does/says/writes has been a lie.

terrorism against the American People and Constitution.

Does anybody really believe this "tax return" is real? He can order the IRS to type out any return he wants to. Donations to Fisher House? I doubt it.

He's been giving away America's farm since he's been in office. Like he's not getting paid from someone for doing that? Where is that on this "tax return"?

Gee, even his tax return lies.

Although if he reported the billions of dollars in kickbacks that he has gotten from spreading the taxpayers largesse even the gutless, spineless and testicleless GOP legislature might bestir themselves to do something about it.
(If only out of anger that some of them didn’t get a large enough ‘cut’ of the action.)
