Bernie's effective tax rate 20%

Paid 27k federal income tax
paid 14k real estate tax
paid 10k state and local tax

Total Paid 50k in taxes? And another what 20k in payroll / FICA tax?

Contributed 17k to 401k
Then he also paid payroll tax on top of the 20%

How many shell corporations does Hillary foundation own again? Maybe people should ask how hillary was able to contribute (and deduct) over 3 million to her own foundation?
