Who Pays for Lord Kerry's Manservant?

A perusal of Lord Effin's tax return shows no indication of the $45,000/yr salary paid to his valet/gofer.
Is it paid by Missus Ketchup? If so is it an illegal campaign contribution?
If Te-REY-sa doesn't foot the bill, do the taxpayers? (i.e. is the servant part of his senate staff). Is it ethical for Effin to utilize/abuse public resources this way?
Should Effin resign his Senate seat because he hasn't shown up for work in over a year?

That's not his butler, it's his family's butler.

Only 45k a year? I wouldn't do that jerk's personal errands for any less than a million a month. Then I'd quit after the first month.

Kerry no longer has to flip-flop. He has a built-in excuse - the butler did it.

He wasn't his servant before he was.....?

He is probably a paid campaign staffer.

I'm fairly ignorant about these things, but he couldn't deduct a manservant's salary unless he was a business, could he? Wouldn't that be a personal expense that wouldn't need to be listed in tax returns?

My guess is the manservent is paid out of the campaign fund.

I was just trying to explain that to Hobbeson, as he polished my hunting boots, and he had the gaul to say something totally out of his place. It's getting harder and harder to find good help these days...

Actually, it should show up on Kerry's 1040, by reporting it on Schedule H, Household Employees. Sched H is used to report payroll taxes paid throughout the year for any household employees. However, since Effin only makes 150K as a Senator, there's no doubt that TayREZah is paying for Effin's butler/PBJ preparer.
Just another good reason for TayREZah to release her tax return.
To: So Cal Rocket
Check to see if F'n Kerry reported payroll taxes and Social Security taxes on the manservant. Those omissions were the downfall of some previous politicians.

He was the one assigned to wipe the swab of alcohol on our butts when we got shots and we got a lot of them.

LOL! Was he being serious, or just being a wise ass?

Thanks for the clarification. I don't have household employees to report, so I didn't know about that. You're right then; this should show up on his tax form. Teresa's money does become an important issue. Kerry should nver have mortgaged his jointly owned house. That seems to have led him into trouble, or would if our media was doing its job.
