First time I have seen this news item other than via NewsMax. I wonder if it will gain any traction. I would really like to see the actual legislation and see how this loophole was provided. Is there a "smoking gun" so to speak?

If we had a real independent mainstream media, this would be in every headline, every magazine cover, and every TV news lead story.

Because the media is in reality a disinformation and propaganda unit of the Democratic National Committee, 99.9% of the population will never hear this important story.

Why is it OK for Heinz to have 60 plants overseas, full of low paying jobs but not any other Corporation?? Don't those Corporations have the same oppressive gummit regs and taxes?? Why does Heinz get to take advantage of turd world wages but nobody else?? We need to see your taxes Yaaaawn Benedict Kerry!!

Not to pick nits here - but the assumption that she is "worth" between $1 and $3 Billion needs to be qualified. The wealth that she once owned may, in the aggregate, be that great - but almost certainly it is in the form of trusts for the children and grandchildren of John Heinz. She may be a trustee of these funds and may direct the investments and manage them - but it wouldn't be fair to divide her reported income over such assets, because she could not liquidate them and realize their value. Much of the income that Luskin is correctly supposing is generated by this massive pile of wealth is generating income for trusts - which file their own income tax returns.

That being said - the level of complexity that accompanies the intelligent holding of such wealth (trusts, family limited partnerships, overseas holding companies, etc. etc. etc.) begs for much greater disclosure by Mrs. Heinz-Kerry. The likelihood that wealth of that magnitude incurs a conflict if interest, just incidentally, is so much greater than wealth like Vice President Cheney (which caused major hemorrhoids in the press) that Theresa needs to come clean.

Uh, if this were a Bush or Cheney 'faux pas', the Liberal press would have turned into a lynch mob. Cries for 'Independent investigation', prosecutors by the carload, etc.. But since this is business as usual for RATS, it's okay.

"Kerry's economic proposals seem tuned to serve his wife's economic interests. His proposal last March to end tax breaks for U.S. corporations that do business overseas was designed with a loophole that would allow the H.J. Heinz company keep its overseas tax breaks and get a lower domestic tax rate at the same time."

I recall hearing (reminded of this today due to the Martha Stewart case) that if you look at the investments of the members of Congress they regularly outperform the index. Probably in part due to using their (inside if you will) knowledge of what regulations/laws/loopholes are out there and what in in the pike. Only bring this up to point out that unfortunately this is nothing new (but it still burns my biscuits).

These guys are suppose to be looking out for the best interests of Americans as a whole but this seems to be an antiquated concept.
