Fact. Hillary claims the rich are not paying their fair share. Fact. Hillary and Bill did not send one extra dime to the treasury and used tax deductions.

Notice how often a candidate will make a statement about the future. The fact checker will rate it one way or the other.

Now if a candidate says xyz-thinktank says global warming will exist in the future that can be fact checked.

But to say “There will (or won’t) be global warming in the future is impossible to fact check.
