Clinton calls for 4 percent surcharge tax on wealthy
By Naomi Jagoda
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Monday called for an additional 4 percent tax on people making more than $5 million per year.
Clinton called the tax a fair share surcharge that would make sure wealthier taxpayers pay higher tax rates.
This surcharge is a direct way to ensure that effective rates rise for taxpayers who are avoiding paying their fair share, and that the richest Americans pay an effective rate higher than middle-class families, a Clinton campaign aide said.
The surcharge, which Clinton unveiled at an organizing event in Iowa Monday afternoon, would raise more than $150 billion over 10 years, the aide said, and is part of Clinton's plan to build on the principle of the "Buffett Rule" to raise the effective tax rates of the rich.
The Buffett Rule, named after philanthropist billionaire Warren Buffett, would ensure that those making more than $1 million pay at least 30 percent of their incomes in taxes.
I wonder if Hitlerry would pay her fair share of taxes? Wanna bet?

The rich will bribe Politicians with donations and find a way to get around it. Bull Shit walks and money talks. It sounds like Hillary wants to tax herself. We all know what the chances are for something like this to happen. It also sounds like Hillary is trying to appeal to the Middleclass. When it comes time to ante up, Hillary hits the road and says,"Screw you!"

No she absolutely would not pay her fair share, the foundation would get all the money and what Bill and Hillary need to live on would be "business expenses"
If they would only pay for all the antiques and other valuable things they stole out of the White House that would be a start.
