Hillary Clinton has released her tax forms<\/a>. The Daily Caller <\/a>has the story.<\/p>\n

This screen shot<\/a> from The Daily Caller tells most of the story:<\/p>\n

\"ClintonDonations\"<\/a>There’s even more. The article reports:<\/p>\n

Desert Classic Charities<\/a> effectively returned that donation back into the Clinton orbit. Its 2015 tax filing<\/a> shows that it contributed $700,000 to the Clinton Foundation<\/a> for work on obesity programs. The group handed out $1.6 million in grants that whole year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Clintons\u2019 effective federal tax rate<\/a> was 34.2 percent, the Clinton campaign said in a press release. With state and local taxes amounting to nine percent of their income, they paid just over 43 percent of their income in taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if Clinton will face the same scrutiny for her in-house contributions as former Massachusetts<\/a> Gov. Mitt Romney<\/a> did when he ran on the GOP ticket in 2012.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What the Clintons did is a glaring example of why the tax code needs to be changed drastically. Otherwise, in the interest of fairness, all of us should be able to declare ourselves a charity, give about 8 percent of our income to actually help people, and declare the rest as tax deductible. This is obscene.<\/p>\n
