Biased source, but I'm posting it anyway:
Fox News picked up on a Reddit comment (not making this up) to accuse the Clintons of doing the same as Trump on taxes, but it took our research director 15 minutes to figure out why it's a total lie. All he had to do was look at the next page of the Clintons' tax return to get the full story, something Fox did not think to do.[this is from their Facebook post]
The next page confirms that they paid $3,236,975 in federal income tax that year.
The Clintons claimed a $726,721 capital loss on their 2008 tax returns -- likely as a result of the financial crash -- and have carried forward the loss and claimed a $3,000 deduction in each subsequent year. The campaign says they have paid an effective federal tax rate of between 25 percent and 38.2 percent every year since 2001.
This data is available because the Clintons have released decades of tax returns, while Trump has shunned more than 50 years of precedent by refusing to release any tax information.

It's exactly the same except Cunton has it in much smaller numbers and can't take depreciation value added to tax credit... Not a property owner are you little piss ant?
I wish I could agree with this 1000 times. Spot on.
