Hillary Clinton released her latest federal income tax return Friday, further pressuring Republican opponent Donald Trump, who is now the first major-party presidential candidate since 1976 to refuse to release tax returns.
The Clintons 2015 personal tax return showed the Democratic Party presidential nominee and her husband Bill earned $10.6 million in 2015, while paying $3.24 million in federal income taxes.
Their tax return showed the Clintons paid an effective federal tax rate of 34.2 percent and an effective state and local tax rate of 9 percent, totaling a combined tax rate of 43.2 percent for last year, according to the Clinton campaign.
Bill Clinton earned $1.7 million through his consulting business. The Clintons made $6.8 million in speaking fees and close to $3.1 million by writing books.

All Trump has to say is, “Well, if the IRS wouldn’t perpetually audit me, I would be able to release my taxes right this very minute. The IRS is wielded as a weapon by the left (Lois Lerner and the Tea Party) and as a means for social engineering. The IRS needs to be abolished and a flat tax needs to be implemented, at that time, I would be able to show you my tax return on a piece of paper the size of a post card.”
Exactly!! Hillary wants to zero in on some “squirrel” issue
of Trump’s in order to distract from HER HUGE ISSUES!
THAT is funny!

TRUMP CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ON HILLARY CLINTONS TAXES
“Hillary Clinton has turned over the only records nobody wants to see from her the American public wants to see the 33,000 emails she deleted to obstruct an FBI investigation. We want to see the Clinton Foundation records showing how the Clintons sold our uranium to Russia, ripped off Haiti and cut deals with oppressive regimes around the world. We want to see the pay-for-play emails that Clintons Chief of Staff, Cheryl Mills, refuses to turn over. We want to see the transcripts of the secret Wall Street speeches Clinton was paid $10,000 dollars-a-minute to give. We want to see the records the night of Benghazi that explain why Secretary Clinton didn’t send in reinforcements as soon as the attack had begun.
Hillary Clinton is at the center of an international corruption scandal that reveals her use of government authority and influence for personal gain. The records we need to see are those being hidden, deleted, obstructed and stashed away by Hillary Clinton to keep authorities from untangling this corrupt scheme that reaches into the world’s shady corridors of power. Everything she doesn’t want us to see has been digitally shredded or put under lock and key. This document release is nothing more than an attempt at distraction and misdirection by an individual who created and then purged an illegal private email server.”

Politico: Bill Clinton Paid $17.5 Million by For-profit University
Have you seen “Hillary’s America”? It explains it all.
Donating to yourself is not “giving to charity” where I come from. It is called “income tax evasion”.
Also, the Clintons are now either in or close to being one of the 5 Percenters they so strongly criticize, and much of their money comes from WALL STREET.
How do you spell “massive HYPOCRISY”?
Has there been an honest Democrat leader in the past 35 years? Clinton, Gore (He had a Yen for Red Chinese money), Obama (Arab money up the yingyang including his Chicago home), Kerry (parasite off his wife), and Hillary (Wall Street, Russians, Whitewater, cattle futures (she must have owned stock in McDonalds) - Clinton Foundations, etc.
Owe, let’s throw-in real estate speculators with inside information Nancy Pelosi and her sleazy husband, and Diane Feinstein and her husband (who I think is a felon). Add Harry Reid into the land speculators crew and maybe a touch of La Familia to boot.
We don’t have enough jails to hold all these Democrat Party crooks, but as part of Trump’s infrastructure funding program, we can build, as the Donald would say, “a really big prison” to hold them.
Trump just needs to hammer on the fact that all her charitable donations were to herself.
She released the last 30 years. There on her website.
Bravo!
I want to see her health records... she knows how to play the IRS... hell, they might as well be working for her...
Game on!
Trump can release a tax return as truthful as Zero’s birth certificate,!
At this point, what difference does it make?
We did not say we wanted her tax return.
It is her medical records we want to see.
It’s not a requirement for a Presidential candidate to show their tax returns. Tax info is protected and private by law for good reason. Nefarious low down leftists could use that info to do harm and most likely would so no way should Trump show them anything he doesn’t really have to.
Hillary can release her tax returns because the Dems own the media; nobody will question why the “charitable contributions” were funneled into her own money-making scheme, or why BJ was paid so much for speeches.
This is a very creepy election, with the Republocrats and their media squaring off against a true independent representing American citizens...
“Clowns” make money at the circus.
Blame the audience!
