Hillary Clinton's tax returns: the most hilarious chart
By Thomas Lifson
There was a good reason why Hillary Clinton chose a Friday afternoon document dump time slot to release her and Bill’s joint 2007-2014 tax returns. The income total of $139 million over 8 years is awfully one perecenter-ish ($17.4 million a year on average), of course. But dig a little into the deductions and you strike comedy pay dirt.
Paul Caron of Taxprofblog checked out the charitable deductions claimed by the prosperous couple. It turns out they are tithing! A total of $15 million, or 10.8% of their adjusted gross income, went to helping others. Wow, that’s pretty good, and the tax savings are nothing to sneeze at.
