Her reported taxable income represents less than one half of one percent of her net worth. Even if you add in her non-taxable income it's less than one percent.

I would fire my financial advisor.

Her federal taxes represent about one tenth of one percent of her net worth. She is hardly paying her fair share.

Tell the truth Mr. Kerry: The so-called income tax is merely a tax on SALARY. The rich are able to shelter, hide, arrange... so that they don't have to pay.

Raising taxes on the rich is a red herring.

We... working people and small business owners... pay the taxes that the Populist Patrician (Socialist) wants to raise.

She completed her taxes and she paid them. She is rich. They do lots of things with their money to avoid paying oppressive taxes. She is no different.

I think its funny that her net tax rate is less than mine....but that is another point.

If she isnt getting audited, then let it go.

Well said. We do not tax the rich. We tax the profitable. If we want to have "the rich" pay their "fair share" we should tax wealth, not earnings.

I do not favor that either, BTW, but it would be more logical for liberals to support wealth taxes rather than income taxes, given their stated goal.

Yes we do.

Their vast amounts of wealth are hidden and secured safely away from the taxman's reach, while we small business owners struggle and labor to meet payroll and pay health benefits. That's how it looks from here at least.

I can't believe.....12%!!!............12%!!!....12%!!!

Kinda puts the liberal's class rhetoric into perspective.

I wish Kerry was challenged to explain the gap between his talk and his deeds, you know, as told in the book of James.

When Kerry said "We can do more," his "we" was himself and Theresa.
So physician, is it heal thyself? or lead by example? or both?

If I had a billion dollars, I'd have it mostly in non-income-producing assets like real estate and securities.

Only a fool would have it all generating unneeded income, when value growth would be much greater, and untaxed.
