Literally none of what you wrote is true.
From CNN:
Quote
The Clintons pulled in $10.6 million in 2015, much less than the nearly $28 million they made the year before.
Their tax return showed that they paid $3.24 million in federal income taxes.
That means their effective tax rate -- a measure of their income tax burden -- was 30.6% based on their adjusted gross income. That's on par with their 32% effective rate in 2014.
The campaign reported the Clintons' effective tax rate as 34%, which includes the more than $300,000 the couple paid in self-employment taxes, which are payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare. Experts often don't include them when calculating federal income tax burdens.
Nor does it address paying "a lot more than they owe." They paid what they owed based on the tax laws.
Disregarding the sketchy way they make money to begin with, they took $2.24 million in various deductions including a $1 million deduction for a donation to their own foundation (only $42K went elsewhere). They deducted all expenses, taxes, and other costs of doing business (~$1.5 million) on their Schedule C forms for business income. They had a carried-over capital loss of $700K and another loss of $3K which they claimed on Schedule D. They took the standard deduction for self-employment taxes. They received a refund of $1.02 million.
There is NO indication that they in any way paid more than what they owed.
Trump did not say that he pays $0.
