Subject: John Kerry, man of the common folk.... he understands your pain, really... trust him - lol, yeah - right

The many homes of Democrat Presidential candiate, John F. Kerry.

Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania  (Assessed value: $3.7 million)

 

Ketchum, Idaho ski getaway/vacation home  (Assessed value: $4.916 million)

 

Washington, D.C - Georgetown area (assessment: $4.7 million)

 

Nantucket, Massachusetts waterfront retreat on Brant Point (Assessed value: $9.18 million)

 

Boston, Massachusetts  - Beacon Hill home (Assessed value: $6.9)

 

oh, and he sold this estate in Italy to activist actor George Clooney, just before announcing his running for president.  I guess he thought it might not sit well with the common man.  ($7.8 million)

 

other foreign property ownership by John Kerry is unknown... because he denied repeated requests for this information.

 

 

Please e-mail this information to all your friends, family and contacts.  Class warfare is not right, but neither is being a hypocrite.  This man wants to be our president, while claiming that he relates to Joe-6-pack and the common man.  He wants to raise income taxes on the rich, well, guess what?  He won't pay those taxes because he is already rich!  He wants to make it harder for you to get rich by raising taxes on your income!  Talk about snobbery and protecting his "class." 

 

Please e-mail to at least 5 people.

sink, MM lives (lived?) in Murrysville, PA. It is best characterized as a suburb of a suburb of Pittsburgh. Given her predilections, she's probably chilled at the Fox Chapel mansion a time or two. Or even received Tides Foundation bling-bling.

[AmishDude]

You know, I was just going to comment on how the meanspiritedness had disappeared from your recent posts. Oh well.

[AmishDude]

MurryMom was a DUer before there was a DU.

bttt

[BigSkyFreeper]

You forgot that DUD they had last week. Catered to only the big wigs in the party. I didn't see a commoner anywhere in the audience.

[small voice in the wilderness]

LOL! I think MurryMom baked the cookies and made the Koolaid for their first meeting!

The estate tax is a vile, confiscatory method of extracting the sweat and blood of a family and re-distributing it to a bloated welfare system.

Yes, all taxes are vile to some extent. Since conservatives allegedly agree that the federal budget should be balanced, the choice we are faced with is raising the estate tax or increasing other taxes like payroll and income taxes. I prefer increasing estate taxes and energy taxes rather than increases in the payroll and income taxes.

BTW, the estate tax isn't just a hypothetical for me. When my father passed away 4 years ago, his estate paid over $20K in state inheritance taxes and federal estate taxes. Unfortunately our family doesn't have immense inherited wealth like the Bushes. If we did, I wouldn't object to paying millions in estate taxes in order to balance the federal budget and to reduce other taxes.

"marrying well is his "investment", not his great skill in earning money or running a business."

Yes, being a gigolo is quite a skill for a man to have, but it is hardly a qualification for President, let alone a role model for others to follow.

Ann Coulter's take:

Ah, Liberal math: The only choice is to raise taxes.
The *other* choice not mentioned is to simply stop growing the Government faster than the economy. ... "It's the spending stupid!"
If we simple kept Federal Government spending at a "mere" $2,300 billion a year for the next 4 years, the deficit would go away WITHOUT TAX INCREASES and WITH making the Bush tax cuts permanent.

To be fair, if the common man can get $20K, he too can have fire hydrants moved for his convenience.

Don't count on it. In Boston where every parking space is precious, moving that fire plug probably added 100,000 to the value of his property. Plus, I wonder who used to park where the fire plug is now.

[JLS]

Exactly Psyco, this will not undermine his base. The good news is that his tax cut for Haliburton and other corporations will certainly keep the Naderites away from Kerry and might turn a few that have ventured to Kerry back to Nader.

[olde north church]

Which Senator, Corzine or Lautenberg?

[olde north church]

If you send your real name and address, I'll overnight those batteries you so desperately need.

[olde north church]

Yeah, right.

"Come on now, admit it 38, if any wealthy women would have you, you would have gladly married them too."
Problem is I Kerry looks to me like a closet queen who marries older rich bags for the money and has sex with young boys. His "Band of brothers" are probably all fags.

[eeriegeno]

It is estimated that Kerry's lifetime earnings were less than $5 mil as a US Senator, private lawyer, Mass Prosecutor, and whatever other miscellaneous jobs he had through his years. How is it that he now holds properties worth over 30+ million dollars, not to mention his other assets? Where did all of the money come from? Did he, as a gigolo, mine the wealth of two very rich wives? Wouldn't his level of wealth make him part of the 1% who are the very, very, filthy rich who are NOT PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES???????? Seems to me that he ought to be signing one or two of those houses over to the IRS so that the 'childrun can have a good education'...............

There is an interesting thread going over at DU under their General Discussion: Campaign 2004 section called "What is wrong with our party, and with our country?"

This would be perfect to post these pics there, if anyone knows how. It's a good thread to read; shows how much they dislike Kerry but feel they have to vote for him because they're "anyone but Bush" - this will just make them feel worse!

[MurryMom]

The *other* choice not mentioned is to simply stop growing the Government faster than the economy. ... "It's the spending stupid!"

O.K., you convinced me. I promise to vote for Bush, Arlen Specter, Melissa Hart, and all of the other Republican candidates on the ballot in November who have tried so hard to reduce federal spending for the past 3 years.

Not.

LOL! Unlike many Republican politicians, Senator Kerry votes to uphold the public interest, not for preservation of inherited wealth ala Bush. If the upper 1% are not paying their fair share of taxes, please don't blame Senator Kerry.
