This press release is 2 days old. Why haven't we seen this story on Drudge or heard it on Rush or Hannity?

[TheLion]

Probably because of the CBS snafu....that would be my guess.

[T Minus Four]

BUMP!!!

Supposedly of Teresa's $5 million income last year, $2.5 million was interest from tax free municipal bonds. Income that will never be taxable. I wonder how much bonds she holds at today's low interest rates. It doesn't matter if sKerry raises taxes, because their income is sheltered.

[Wristpin]

Then you have the whole hypocrisy of not paying the voluntary higher state tax rate in Mass which he get's a pass on.

His sidekick (Breckgirl the nonveteran) launders his $40 million in dirty lawsuit income through a flim flam corporation as dividends avoiding hundreds of thousands in Medicare taxes.

Of course both shysters have not returned their unearned Senate salaries back to the treasury as the law requires.

John Kerry and his wife paid just 12% of their combined income in income taxes, despite their assertion that the rich should contribute increased amounts

WTF!? That is less than me!!!

I can not wait to hear this on the Communist Broadcasting Network this evening. /sarc

KERRYS PAID JUST 12% IN FEDERAL INCOME TAXES IN 2003

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - John Kerry has repeatedly called for increasing taxes on the "wealthy" so the affluent "pay their fair share" for the "common good." Ironically, John and Theresa Heinz Kerry, who comprise one the richest families in the world, pay relatively little income tax.

Last year, John Kerry and his wife paid just 12% of their combined income in income taxes, despite their assertion that the rich should contribute increased amounts to government coffers. In contrast, President and Mrs. Bush, who had a substantially lower income than the Kerry's, paid over 28% in taxes.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[Future Useless Eater]

We should ALSO be furious that Edwards incorporated himself
(with an employee of ONE ... just himself) in order to EVADE FEDERAL TAXES!!!

[jmstein7]

[Clemenza]

Laugh if you wish, but Clemenza qualified for EIC last year.

This year, I'm going to be paying more than Kerry!

IRS Kerry's Taxes tool kit

[dr_who_2]

If that isn't hypocrisy, I don't know what is. Bush ought to attack, attack, attack on that point.

[celtic gal]

Well the secret is to have critical mass wealth so you can get in on those bonds and other tax exempt opportunities for the tax shelter. While I am far from rich...really far from that kind of wealth, I do have a tiny portfolio that has a couple of those thingys in it...but our taxes are still a lot higher than what they paid.

So...if they get nailed for tax shelters than that will affect us little guys too in that respect. Maybe it is time for the VAT type tax. Then the Kerry's and folks like them will pay hefty taxes when the replace the yachts and planes and trains they own and when we replace our old car with a used one our taxes will be less...

[FlashBack]

More reason to get behind Bush and the Tax Issue!!!!
