Hillary Clinton released her 2015 tax returns today, and we learned the speaking and writing business can be lucrative.

Both the former secretary of state and her husband listed speaking and writing in the occupation box of their married-filing-jointly 1040.

Business income was $10.6 million, and they gave $1.04 million to charity — a million of that to the Clinton Family Foundation. Their effective tax rate was 34 percent.
