Hillary Clinton paid roughly $57 million in federal and state taxes over the last eight years based on a statement just released by the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign.
The statement does not say how much Clinton earned each year. She made roughly $15 million in charitable donations.
“We’ve come a long way from my days going door-to-door for the Children’s Defense Fund and earning $16,450 as a young law professor in Arkansas — and we owe it to the opportunities America provides,” Clinton said in the statement.

Trump builds buildings to earn a living. What exactly do the Clintons do?
So, what was her effective tax rate? The total is meaningless without the gross income and taxable income. Is she still sending Bill’s undies to Goodwill and claiming retail for value? What is the fart depreciation schedule on undies?
Dead broke
If you or I went from earning $20k a year to making enough to pay millions in taxes without a substantial change of profession.... the IRS would be auditing us relentlessly and investigating every nook and cranny...until the day we die.
“We’ve come a long way from my days going door-to-door for the Children’s Defense Fund and earning $16,450 as a young law professor in Arkansas — and we owe it to the opportunities America provides,”
That was quite probably the only honest job she ever had.
Sorry Hillary, but all you’ve taught your adoring fans is that you have to ride the coattails of a skilled politician (maybe refer to him as your husband from time to time) to the White House to become a Senator or be appointed a cabinet position.
History is replete with women like yourselves ... they’re typically referred to as “whores”. You taught a generation of so called feminists to be “whores” and to turn a blind eye on men that treat women like complete trash just because of a stupid political allegiance.
Let’s make that “conviction-less whore” the more I think about it.
OK this has gone beyond insanity.
In the last eight years she has been a Senator, and Secretary of State. Bubba the Bent one has given some speeches...and they paid taxes of $57 million?
If this were a Republican this would nuke their campaign.
“Hill, you gots some ‘splainin’ to do!
Aww, see? - Shrillary pays her “fair share”!
So we should just get off her back about Benghazi, her personal server while SOS, the missing emails, Vince Foster, etc....
Right?
And why do they say Hillary paid these taxes? Do the Clintons file separate tax returns??? If so what’s up with that?
What’s with this Friday afternoon data dump???
It’s amazing how these government public servants go in poor, and come out wealthy.
Very inquisitive.
Holy cow. Literally. If she is paying the top rate of 48% that is nearly $119 million, divided by 8 is nearly $15 million a year. Am I the only one who sees a problem with somebody who had a job that paid $186k a year claiming $15 mill a year?
“Public service” pays pretty well.
Easy to see how Chelsea Hubbell-Clinton-Mezvinsky landed that $10m Manhattan condo....
Remember how they went after Romney as “the rich.”
Nice work if you can get it, public service.
Yep, and Romney could show where every dime of his came from.
I’m sure that they filed a joint return so that Hillary could claim Bill’s “Comfort Ladies” as an expense.
Sure she has.
