Hillary releases tax return, goading Trump
WND ^ | 08/12/2016

Posted on 08/12/2016 6:29:46 PM PDT by detective

Hillary Clinton released her latest federal income tax return Friday, further pressuring Republican opponent Donald Trump, who is now the first major-party presidential candidate since 1976 to refuse to release tax returns.

The Clintons’ 2015 personal tax return showed the Democratic Party presidential nominee and her husband Bill earned $10.6 million in 2015, while paying $3.24 million in federal income taxes.

Their tax return showed the Clintons paid an effective federal tax rate of 34.2 percent and an effective state and local tax rate of 9 percent, totaling a combined tax rate of 43.2 percent for last year, according to the Clinton campaign.

Bill Clinton earned $1.7 million through his consulting business. The Clintons made $6.8 million in speaking fees and close to $3.1 million by writing books.

Hillary’s been complaining for months that Trump didn’t release his tax returns and she’s just now releasing hers???

...

And why hasn’t the media been hounding her for it?

Books they don’t really write and books that nobody reads.

I don’t understand how they can hate this country so much.

I don't think the Clintons hate this country. I just think that they are willing to sell it out at a moment's notice for personal gain and power. Like they say in the Mafia: "It's not personal, it's just business."

Obama, on the other hand does hate the country, and actually wants to destroy it.

The Clinton-cause destruction of America is just a by-product of their greed and power lust.

Of course they are cooked. But as long as they are willing to release information on her, people can dig out tidbits, like the 96% (> 1 mil) going to Clinton foundation.

BTW, Trump’s response to Hillary releasing her tax return is YUUUUUUUGE. Just the fact that he’s willing and able to fight back is so refreshing. (And why both sides of the government party absolutely want to take him down.)

The return shows 1 million in income from Laureate University. That’s their scam University that Bill has been paid over
16 million dollars as it’s “Honorary”
Chancellor. What a scam.
But, the form itemizing the million in “charitable” donations is not included with their tax return release.

Trump should just tell Hillary to tell the IRS to stop their audit of him so he can release, since we all know the IRS is as political hit squad anyway.

How did IRS approve non-profit status (giving donors ability to deduct) for the corrupt and behemoth Clinton foundation?

Does Lois Lerner have no shame?

I think I heard today, that something like 90+% of their charitable deductions were to the Clinton Foundation.

“The 2015 tax return showed the Clintons deducted $1,042,000 in charitable contributions last year — with $1 million going to the Clinton Foundation.”

It's easy to understand when you keep in mind whom they serve.

Ahhh; checkmate grasshopper.

Trump should offer to release his returns if Hillary releases full financials and tax returns on the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.

(Hillary) - and her husband Bill earned $10.6 million in 2015,

Those Goldman Sachs speeches pay well, don't believe me, just ask Lyn-Ted Cruz.
