Are you retarded? We know what Clinton paid in taxes. Every year for the last 30 years. At no time was it zero.
But that confirms you really don't understand what the grown ups are talking about.
Are you retarded? We know what Clinton paid in taxes. Every year for the last 30 years. At no time was it zero.Clinton's Campaign Manager has the last word on the issue..like it or not.
In the words of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, "this bombshell report reveals [Hillary Clinton's] past business failures... and may show just how long [Hillary Clinton] may have avoided paying taxes."
I am just wondering why there is this new found outrage about wealthy people and taxes. I would like to see how much taxes are paid as a whole by all the Trump business.... If that amount is zero like Genral Electric then let's have a discussion.
She's released 20-30 years of tax filings. I'll admit I haven't personally combed thru them but its been reported she has paid 30-34% of earnings in taxes on average.
To make a claim like above that ignores all reporting is silly without concrete proof.
This is an understatement. I'm a broker and some of the bullshit that site puts sometimes is scary. Regularly have to calm people down from the brink due to their lunacy.It's zerohedge, which is basically Infowars for the financial crowd. It's not a site that should be taken seriously.
Reminds me of a conversation I had with a Trump supporter today. I thought the person was rational(known him for a while). And when I brought up Trump, he lost his mind. Rambling about not trusting the government or the media. When I asked where he got his facts from then, he got more enraged. I thought he was going to hit me at one point. His support of Trump was almost religious (the bad kind; where you don't even question it). It was really bizarre and unnerving, esp. given the setting we were in. I felt sorry for him and then mad at the Republican party and Fox News and all their ilk. They have spend years tearing down the government and media, telling these people not to trust anything. And now they blindly put their faith in a fool like trump. It's dangerous to the country.
Where is the source of this supposed statement by Clinton's campaign manager? The source is not provided in the zerohedge piece. In fact, the author seems to be inserting Clinton's name into a statement concerning somebody else. While this is fine in the context of attempting to build a case for hypocrisy, to quote it here as actually being said by Clinton's campaign manager is chuck full of fail.
“This bombshell report reveals the colossal nature of Donald Trump’s past business failures and just how long he may have avoided paying any federal income taxes whatsoever,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said in a statement. “In one year, Donald Trump lost nearly a billion dollars. A billion.”

That's for damned sure, check out this profile of a Trump supporter: "Finally, someone who thinks like me"
Many of them are crazy, nothing will change their minds.
Its amazing how he claims to be a champion of the little guy but avoids taxes, avoids paying contractors, and takes other people's money earmarked for charity as his own. Honestly though it just doesn't seem to matter to trump supporters. I really am deeply troubled by these people because their method of judgement for this man would never be applied to another other person applying for any other job. Its almost religious at this point.

You don't avoid paying contractors for 30 years and still have people working for you, the charges as always just insult the intelligence of anyone who thinks about it for even a second.
Contractor disputes are common to say the least in any construction/development industry.
And really, the big corps who back the democrats, are the worst offenders if you wish to get on your high horse about this

So yes, Trump's answer was correct, he was simply playing by the rules as they are, and its just smart business. You are free to avoid taking every deduction you can to be a good liberal, but I doubt you'll be in business for long.
Plus, its pretty rich for the Clinton's side to complain when she doesn't run any productive business at all other than taking money from wall street for "reasons".

She could pay as much tax as she wishes on that income, it doesn't affect her businesses ability to employ, compete in the market place and produce value. It's just corruption.
Don't talk about religion, mindless faith is now pervasive on the left.

Their effective tax rate federally was 34.2% in 2015. Not sure what you mean by this post. But it's late so I may be missing something.Except for 2015... When she wrote down $699k in losses herself. Go figure... Hillary taking advantage of the tax code like anyone else.

Except the Clinton's didn't write down $699k of their 2015 taxes or their income from their capital loses of 2015. You know how much transferred from their Sch. D, where that capital loss was taken from, to their 1040 as a write-down of their 2015 income, where the deduction for capital losses applies?
$3,000. That's it. $3K. Not $669K. Bet you didn't know there was a deduction limit imposed on capital losses, did you? Wonder why ZeroHedge didn't inform you of that? Hmmmmm......
My proof? Well.....
I'm going to ask you to do something hard, like read. ZeroHedge claims that page 17 of the Clinton's 2015 tax return shows them claiming a $669K long-term capital loss, right? Refer to the original linked article, ZH says this:
"However, a look back at Hillary Clinton's tax returns from 2015 (here), proudly displayed by the campaign proving she has nothing to hide - shows something awkward on page 17...", and then refers to line 15 of their 2015 Schedule D.
(The Clintons' 2015 tax return is linked the quoted line directly above, please use as reference...it's ZH's link to a .pdf.)
And line 15 does indeed show the Clintons having a $669K long-term capital loss. But the story doesn't end there, as ZeroHedge would like you to believe. Now comes the hard part, further reading. Continue down the same Schedule D to line 21 (it's on the second page of Sch. D, the page ZH doesn't show you) and you find the amount that transfers from Sch. D to line 13 on their 1040, is $3K. It's $3K because that's the limit for capital losses that can transfer from Sch. D to be claimed on your personal 1040.
So, I wonder why ZH neglected to inform you of that, eh? And capital losses are treated MUCH differently vs. business losses, which is a separate entry on a personal 1040.
... a post that is full of nothing but excuses for a racist...

nope, just highlights his hypocrisy, potentially shitty business acumen to lose a billion dollars during the first dotcom bubble, and the fact that the tax plan he's advocating would lower taxes on people like himself even more.so did he break any laws?
