Disclosed Documents Reveal Hillary Clinton Tried to Get Out of Paying Death Tax After Voting Against Repealing It


While Hillary rallied against repealing the death tax while in the Senate and voted against exemptions for small businesses from the added burden of it, the former Secretary of State consulted with lawyers about how she might be able to minimize the amount of money her estate would owe after she passed on:

“According to financial disclosures, Clinton shifted the ownership of their New York house to residence trusts in 2011, which could save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in estate taxes.

‘The goal is really be thoughtful and try to build up the nontaxable estate, and that’s really what this is,’ says David Scott Sloan, a partner at Holland & Knight LLP. ‘You’re creating things that are going to be on the nontaxable side of the balance sheet when they die.’

Clinton has said that ‘the estate tax has been historically part of our very fundamental believe that we should have a meritocracy,’ Americans for Tax Reform reported.”

Donald Trump likes to call her Crooked Hillary, but I’m starting to think that an equally-fitting name would be Hypocrite Hillary.
