FACT CHECKER: In New York, which I know a little bit about because I represented it for eight years and I live there now, our undocumented workers in New York pay more in taxes than some of the biggest corporations in New York.
Hillary Clinton, roundtable in North Las Vegas, May 5, 2015
...Comparing the taxes of hundreds of thousands of people to the tax bill of one corporation is a stretch and fairly misleading. Even the companies that pay little or no federal income taxes end up paying lots of other taxes. So its a nonsense comparison.
We wavered between Three and Four Pinocchios, but ultimately settled on Four. As a former senator, Clinton should know better.

I’m sure they pay more than her
As a bookkeeper of 57 years experience-—I can say without question that the Clinton’s are LIARS.....
I have done payrolls— helped prepare data for tax returns—done detail work for the CPA involved & have seen the tax returns of the small businesses I have had as clients.
SHRILLARY is delusional.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought corporations NEVER paid taxes. They just pass them along to their customers.
Regardless - Mrs. Bill Clinton is truth-challenged.
What about a “charity” that rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars yet pays out only a few million in true charity?
“We wavered between Three and Four Pinocchios”
Wavered? Whats to waver about?
Clintons claim that illegal immigrants pay gets more in from taxes than some corporations
I grew up in New York. Lived in New York city and parts of Long Island and actually WORKED WITH illegals doing landscaping in the 1990s when Bill Clintons big “job growth” was going so well. If this psychotic beetch thinks illegals pay ANY kind of taxes she is absolutely on crack. EVERYTHING they do is for CASH. No checks, no exceptions. The only “tax” they pay is when they buy freakin’ money orders from the post office and pay that extra 35 cents or whatever they charge for it. But leave it to liberals to lie through their teeth, especially something they know ZERO about
how appropriate now that New York has taken the lead as the most corrupt state
Correct - you and I pay taxes. From our own income and when we buy products and services... wish someone would be more aggressive with that knowledge.
Puck you wide ride...!!! The lying from the left continues...
FUHC!
The Washington post is fact checking Hillary and finding she is lying??? Again we see a major organ of the liberal media being critical of Hillary. What the heck???
Now let’s not be one-sided. Measure pay vs. receives. How much do they receive in government services compared to what they pay?
As for corporations, you have to include all their taxes: property taxes, Social Security (matching for employees), unemployment, sales....on and on.
Well they are liberal over there at the compost, so actually I am surprised they didn’t settle for 3. After all, they are now impeding the chances for the 1st woman President!!!! No doubt Hillary is working on a speech denouncing those women haters employed at the compost.
Some corporations DO pay no or almost no taxes. They almost all are big donors to the Democrats. They pay low taxes because of breaks that Democrats and some corrupt Republicans bury in tax laws to benefit cronies. She knows all about that game and wouldn’t change it for the world.
Correct me if Im wrong, but I thought corporations NEVER paid taxes. They just pass them along to their customers.
Regardless - Mrs. Bill Clinton is truth-challenged.
*******
Actually, corporations can end-up paying the taxes if they are unable to raise prices when the taxes are imposed. But we need to respond that the corporate income tax is unfair because it is a double tax on the same income — once at the corporate level, and again at the shareholder level when dividends are paid.
Thanks to you both. I’m an engineer, not an economist.
Do these Illegals have receipts to prove this ?
Illegal labor is heavily subsidized by the taxpayers. We cover their groceries, housing, education, medical and other expenses. The suggestion that illegals pay more taxes than corporations is ridiculous, and every dollar paid in by illegals has to be weighed by how much money is taken out.
