Apparently, every American household that pays Federal income taxes on income greater than $200,000 per year but not John Kerry and Teresa Heinz who have never paid a single dollar in Federal wealth taxes on the $550 miilion fortune that neither one of them earned but which they now enjoy.
At $200,000 per year it would take that super rich coulple 5,000 years to accumulate $ 1 billion.
Meanwhile, Teresa's wealth has grown by approximately half a billion dollars in the past 9 years, largely tax-free.
