The Hillary Clinton campaign released the 2015 joint federal income tax return filed by Mrs. Clinton and her ex-President husband Bill this week. Among other things, the Clintons reported total income of over $10.7 million, incurred income and self-employment taxes of over $3.6 million, and deducted $1 million for a charitable contribution to (imagine that) the Clinton Foundation.
According to CNN's Errol Louis and Kate Bolduan, as seen in a discussion on CNN's Inside Politics, the contents of the Clintons' return make them seem "more middle classy."
Louis's pathetic argument is that the Clintons did not take advantage of some of the tax loss-generating opportunities used by other well-to-do taxpayers.
