2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAll of the Top 10 Corporate Tax Dodgers Have Donated to Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton has financial relationships with some of Americas biggest corporate tax dodgers.
Bernie Sanders recently outed the 10 biggest multinational corporations that paid no federal taxes for at least one year between 2008 and 2012.
. . .
As it turns out, all ten of those same companies are some of Hillary Clintons biggest donors, whether to her campaign or to her family foundation.
1. General Electric
According to data from the nonpartisan group Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ), GE posted $33.9 billion in U.S. profits, yet somehow got $2.9 billion in refunds in that same time period. According to the book Clinton Cash, then-Secretary of State Clinton lobbied the Algerian government for a GE power plant contract. After Algeria awarded the contract to GE, Jeffrey Immelt CEO of GE gave a donation to the Clinton Foundation. Sanders also pointed out that while Immelt sat on the board of the New York Federal Reserve, the Fed gave GE $16 billion in financial assistance.
2. Boeing
Boeing is one of the nations biggest corporate tax dodgers, making over $20 billion in profits between 2008 and 2012 and paying an overall income tax rate of negative one percent during those years. Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer noted that after Secretary Clinton successfully lobbied the Russian government to enter into a $3.7 billion contract to buy Boeings aircraft, the aerospace company gave the Clinton Foundation a hefty donation of $900,000.
