RNC chief hits Clinton on tax plan, 'hypocrisy'

The Hill reports:
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Monday took a shot at Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's tax plan, asking her accountant if she is putting "her money where her mouth is" and paying additional taxes.

“As Hillary and Bill Clinton’s financial and estate planner, as well as their personal accountant, I am writing to you on this annual tax day to inquire as to whether Hillary Clinton has chosen to put her money where her mouth is and pay the additional taxes she is hypocritically proposing that other Americans of similar income pay, but not said she is willing to voluntarily pay herself,” he wrote in a letter to Rorrie Gregorio, national partner-in-charge at the Family Office Group.

“As a part of Mrs. Clinton’s tax policy proposals, she has called for an unprecedented new tax on Americans who earn more than $5 million annually,” he added. "This 4-percent ‘surcharge’ would effectively create an entirely new tax bracket for people at the top 0.01 percent, such as herself.
What's stopping Hillary from giving away more money to the federal government?
