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.
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 2003Excerpt: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.
How dare you question John Kerry's patriotism! ;-)
Bump!!!
We should ALSO be furious that Edwards incorporated himself
(with an employee of ONE ... just himself) in order to EVADE FEDERAL TAXES!!!
BUMP!
This year, I'm going to be paying more than Kerry!
If that isn't hypocrisy, I don't know what is. Bush ought to attack, attack, attack on that point.
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...
Ping again
Just the facts bump.
Have the Republicans brought this up publically? I think they should.
