Hillary Clinton is a One Percenter
I suppose you can tell I see no point in adding much information into the chaosphere. I suppose I learned you can't lead a dead horse to water. Since our schools are producing deadheads, things will only decline, so I am working on what I can do as we approach a Marxist state in support of an oligarchy.
I am working on a book about the lake of the capacity to think, these days, called "Reason in the Age of Subversion." Who know if I am spitting into the wind. Something to do, I guess.
Nonetheless, this is interesting. From Forbes:
The question getting the lion’s share of attention is whether Donald Trump pays federal income taxes at all and, if not, whether that makes him smart, as he says, or unpatriotic, as Hillary Clinton suggests.
How much do you need to make to be in the top 50% of earners? Just $36,841.
Fall below that level, and you are in the bottom half, along with about 69 million of your fellow taxpayers. All told, that group earned just 11.5% of the AGI reported on 2013 federal returns. And they paid 2.78% of all the income taxes paid.

Where Do You Rank as a Taxpayer?

$10,594,529 and paid $3,624,455 in federal income taxes. [Reported taxes from thieves.]
