text: Bill and Hillary Clinton’s 2015 tax return shows that while they did have a nearly $700,000 capital loss carried over from a prior year, they took a deduction of only $3,000 for that loss. The first page also confirms that the Clintons received a $3,000 deduction for their capital loss and the returns show they paid $3,236,975 in federal income taxes that year. The Clintons paid a 35.7% tax rate: $40 million total taxes over the last 7 years. 
  
  This is far different than Donald Trump's $916 million loss in 1995 that enables him to pay no taxes for 18 years. In 1995, while Trump was hemorrhaging money, the economy under President Clinton was booming. The stock market rose 33.5%. 
  
  The real issue here is not his taxes. The real issue is this self-described smart businessman destroyed almost a BILLION dollars of wealth because he is incompetent. And he brought many others down with him including employees, subcontractors and investors. Trump is a freeloading deadbeat pure and simple.
