I find it amusing that Clinton on her taxes tweeted

That they gave $15 million to charity over the years but out that $15 million $14.8 was given to the Clinton foundation where Chelsea, Hillary and Bill are paid $$$$ for being on the board, and the foundation spends $8 million on airplanes for travel a year.

Hillary’s donations to charity were mostly to her own charity: The Clinton Foundation

own foundation. Spend the money on booze or whatever, then deduct how much from my taxes? I need a new big screen too. I may have to look into that!

This sort of trust is only for the 0.01%. For the rest of us we get crappy living trusts that just keep our houses out of probate when we croak.

Why is this kind of crap ok with her supporters? I pay 25% in taxes and end up paying monthly because I end up owing $5000 a year and have to pay monthly too. I cannot afford anything extra and Im budgeted to the max with little to no savings. THIS Is WHY PEOPLE ARE PISSED!!!! PAY YOUR FAIR SHAR!!
