Didn't realize her legal name is Heinz and she adopted Heinz-Kerry for the election.

Teresa Heinz Kerry released a portion of her 2003 federal income tax return Friday...

Gee, only a portion? Wonder why...?

A refund?

I read that the New York Times has an estimate that Heinz-Kerry actually made closer to $50 million, and only paid 1.2 percent of that in taxes.

It's posted somewhere here.

I don't fault THK for getting a refund. That's what tax credits are supposed to do: return money to those who can use it more wisely than the government (which isn't very hard, really).

What burns my biscuits is that THK and JF'nK accuse Bush of being some kind of Blue Meanie for championing tax cuts while they themselves (the Heinz-Kerrys, that is) take the money and run.

There's a word for that kind of crap: hypocrisy.

If she had made estimated payments to the IRS all year, and found that her tax liability was less than that when her taxes were calculated, then she deserves a refund...it's her money.

The question is her deductions, shelters, etc.

Good, maybe she can scratch a check to help out some flood victims here in the `Burgh! She`s got a mansion overlooking Sharpsburg here in Western PA. After some serious flooding, she popped in just long enough to say, "sorry, I wish I could do something..." Meanwhile an "evil, rich, republican" talk radio host goes out and buys 15 refrigerators and 10 stoves out of his own money and GIVES them away to flood victims. That BASTARD! I guess that`s because he HAD the money since we`re all so damn GREEDY.

Why doesn't she qualify for the Alternative Minimum Tax?

I thought she was suppose to release the whole thing, not just a page or two here or there?

I guess it's kinda like Kerry saying he released his records, when it's only the pages that he lied about to get the purple owies.

These people... they are not normal.
