They paid more than their fair share, and more than just about anybody else in their income bracket I'm sure.

Clintons Paid $3.6 Million In Federal Tax In 2015; Could (Should?) Have Paid A Lot Less
What is your definition of fair share?

That is not how OUR tax system works.

Everything you want to know about both Clinton's and Kaine's tax returns for the past 10-15 years is answered here:
https://www.hillaryclinton.com/page/tax-returns/

Their % tax rates paid are shown by year in easy-to-read charts, and links are included to the full tax returns for each year for both candidates. Yes you read that right, they have put their full tax returns for each year online.

31% bracket last year on $10.6M income. Ball's in the Great Pumpkin's court.

Hillary Clinton's 2015 tax return shows $10.6 million in income, 31% rate -- and puts pressure on Donald Trump - Aug. 12, 2016

You pay income tax on income, not net worth. Previous earnings have already been taxed.

Are Trump supporters now saying that $3.24 million in federal income taxes is insufficient? Her income is being taxed at the absolute top rate.
Trump complains about crime rate in Chicago.

He has a shiny 92 story building there too that pays hardly any taxes.

Why?

He pays for campaign of the tax assessor and hires big law firms to lower the value on his building.

Net result he is one of reasons Chicago has little money to fight crime.

Taxation is more than an issue for Trump himself, it extends to the corporations he runs.

When you get a little older and get a job, you'll learn about deductions. We all take them where allowed.

Hey Finster!

How can she pay an AVERAGE tax rate be considered her "Fair share"? But every other "Rich" greedy millionare paying the same average tax rate isn't?
