Hillary Clinton took her knocks on Donald Trump’s tax returns to it’s highest level on Friday by releasing her own tax returns for 2015.
They donated 9.8 percent of their adjusted gross income to charity, mostly to the Clinton Foundation. “It would allow him to pay less than half the current tax rate on income from many of his companies”.
“Here’s a pretty incredible fact: there is a non-zero chance that Donald Trump isn’t paying *any* taxes”, Ms Clinton tweeted, minutes after releasing her own returns.
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee has not released his tax returns.
The Clintons have disclosed tax returns for every year since 1977, in part due to laws requiring public officials release returns. “What is he trying to hide?”.
“Each day that passes without Donald Trump releasing his tax returns is another day that he is failing to meet a fundamental obligation to the American public.” begins Graham “This isn’t complicated”. They have now released their tax returns for every one of the last 39 years. We want to see the transcripts of the secret Wall Street speeches Clinton was paid $10,000 dollars-a-minute to give.
“Donald Trump should release his tax returns”, on-screen text reads at the beginning of the video.
Donald Trump claims Hillary Clinton backs trade agreements like NAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership that he says cost US workers jobs.
When asked about his taxes at the time, Nixon willingly released the returns that had been under audit: “I welcome this kind of examination, because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook”.
According to the tax returns, the Clinton’s earned over $10.7 million in 2015.
The bulk of their income – more than $6 million (about €5.4 million) – came from speaking fees for appearances largely made before Ms Clinton launched her campaign last April.
As she’s talked about the economy Clinton has faced a couple of challenges; convincing white working class voters that she feels their pain and condensing her five point economic plan into something simple, catchy and satisfying. They also made $1 million in charitable contributions that same year.
Clinton says Trump’s approach toward trade is based on fear of competing with the rest of the world, even if the rules are made more fair.

According to public records, Mr Trump did not pay any income taxes in 1978, 1979, and 1984. If he doesn’t, the real estate magnate would be the first presidential nominee in the last 40 years to not release his returns during election season.
