Hillary Clinton paid her taxes and donated lots of money to charity. I wonder if the writer of this story did the same?
=======================================
Hillary Clinton stands up for all voters!

You media folks, give us a break.

How is this a story? Nothing illegal. I do not know of anyone who doesn't take advantage of any legal tax breaks they can get. Redo the tax code if you do not like it but do not find fault for people using them if they are legal.

Clinton strikes again. Trouble is, she's no worse than Obama who has mastered the art of lying with a straight face.

An empty suit or a bag of hot air. Which will it be democrats?

WOW, an expose on the Clintons taking the same kind of deductions we all take. What's next, a report on their toilet paper use?

HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT A MIDDLE CLASS OR WORKING CLASS PERSON, AS SHE HAS TRIED TO PERSUADE OR DECIEVE YOU ALL INTO BELIEVING !!

HILLARY: "I WILL TAX USA CITIZENS WHO MAKE MORE THAN 250,000 DOLLARS PER YEAR"

SH SHOULD START BY TAXING HER DAMN SELF !!

DO YOU YOU HONESTLY THINK A PERSON MAKING 250,000 DOLLARS PER YEAR IS "RICH" ANYONE MAKING 2-3 MILLION A YEAR AND UPWARDS, SHOULD BE TAXED AT A HIGHER RATE"

NOTE: BUT 250,000, HAVING A WIFE AND 2 KIDS, WHO IN ALL LIKLIHOOD WOULD BE ATTENDING PRIVATE SCHOOL AND A MORTGAGE NOTE, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD OF HOMES THAT COST 650,000 PLUS AND INSURANCES AND LIVING COST, DOES NOT ADD UP AS RICH TO ME ?

THESE 250,000 PER YEAR PEOPLE ARE JUST AS MUCH IN DEBT, JUST LIVING DAY TO DAY AS WE ARE....

BUT THOSE THAT MAKE IN THE 2-3- MILLION OR MORE A YEAR, THATS "RICH

A MILLION DOES'NT QUALIFY AS RICH EITHER, BECUSE ON EMILLION IS TAXED HIGHLY

IN ESSENCE HILLARY IS A LIAR, SHE'LL NEVER TAX HERSELF AT A HIGHER RATE, WHEN THE RICH ARE ALREADY TAXED HIGHER

Wasn't it the Clinton Administration that capped CEO's income at $1m and the supposed unintended effect was that many CEO's transfered their income into restricted shares and stock options?

No matter how the deomocrats try there is always a forensic accountant working for the republicans pointing the finger.

To misquote Michael moore, Where did GWB
get his 'grub stake' from?

Hillary and Bill gave to charity:
THE CLINTON FOUNDATION

Some are givers. The Clintons have always been takers. You can count the ways.

Major headline. Clinton takes lawful deductions. Oh, my, how horrid. What planet are you on?

I would suggest every American find tax breaks and tax loopholes to save money so someones else can foot the bill. A tax break for them just means that you should look in your pockets to figure out how much is your coverage to pay for that break they got.

Anyone that makes X amount of dollars always donate money. Why not its a write off and free media. Now if the rich would donate double the amount they donate over the tax break. Then I would say now there's truely a good person doing a good thing. This staged B.S. of PR making someone look good because they are donating money so they don't have to pay as much in taxes. Its a joke

I don't trust the Clinton's anymore than I do the Bush's, but I'd get all the deductions I could get as well. No biggie.

I disagree with poster "o." Making $250K a year may not be rich to you but I know a lot of people in this country (myself included) that would FEEL rich if they made that much. And it's all personal preference: Just because you make $250K/year does demand you live in a $500K+ home. Wasteful.

hey o....

either is obama. you seem upset the clintons make money. it's their right. jealousy doesn't change that fact.

I'm not surprised that the Clintons are being raked over the coals again...even though they paid high taxes on their earnings and donated 10 million. The media is yet again showing that it is biased.

The deductions were legal, enough said. I work in an accounting office and we try very hard to get our clients every bit of return possible, does that make us greedy? Deductions are there for a reason and if the Clintons want to take full advantage of that, good for them.
I don't get the people who are angry with the Clintons over what they deduct, but support a President who has his dirty hands in the oil & gas industry! Clinton is not taking money out of your pocket to get that return, how about aiming your resentment at Bush and his oil buddies who profit everytime you shell out at the gas station.
As for the above statement throwing the pity party for families making $250,000, yeah they may have high mortgages, car notes, and pay for private schools but those are life choices. Go to public school, if your local options are not "safe", move. Buy a cheaper house and stop using the current hunk of brick you have to prove the point that you are a "have" surrounded by "have nots". Drive a car that is more cost efficient; by simply buying a non-luxury car you would be lowering your note, most likely gaining in gas milage, and lowering your insurance. Oh and guess what, cars that get high gas milage may even qualify you for a fuel efficiency tax credit. But I forget who I am talking to, you would not take that tax credit, that would make you just like the Clintons.

Today I ate out with my wife and daughter.
First time is a long time.

On the wall in back of the cashier was a $3 bill. It had Hillories picture on it.

Earlier in the day I was in the bank getting some cash. I ask for $3 bills. The cashier did not have any. She did have some $2 bills.

DON'T SAY YOU WANT TO CLOSE THE TAX LOOPHOLES AND THEN TAKE THEM YOURSELF! Yeah Hillary feels our financial frustrations...she only grossed over 100 million dollars in the last seven years.

Clinton supporters commenting above seem to be missing the point of the article.

The point isn't that the Clintons are doing something illegal, but that they are greedy enough to be making millions of dollars, and yet still have the nerve to minimize the tax they pay to the extent of using low-value clothing donations.

While some above have said everyone should get all the deductions they can, most Americans cannot afford to do so, being unable to hire accountants to find all the deductions.

Instead of going after every single deduction, the Clintons could show leadership by example and leave that money to better serve those in need and reduce the national debt. They are clearly well off and require none of these government handouts and incentives.

Did anyone bother to read the article on the McCain's and they way they file their income tax return to shelter Cindy's wealth from showing up on John's tax record. The Clinton have done nothing wrong, don't you Republicans want people to make lots of money and file their taxes honestly?
