Personally I think the tax returns of anyone, including political opponents, shouldn't be anybody else's business. If there's a problem, it's between them and the IRS.

If one has a right to privacy as to one's sexual orientation, you would think one's right to privacy would extend to one's financial affairs. But nooooooooo!

No one is saying that what Kerry and Theresa are doing is illegal. But they are clearly using Tax Loopholes such as trusts to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Yet at the same time, Kerry wants to raise taxes on people that earn more than $200,000. That is hypocritical.

Assuming Theresa and Kerry (since they are married) has $1 Billion (which is a fairly conservative estimate because Theresa inherited $750 million when her first husband died) at 4% interest, they would be earning $40 million a year.

35% of $40 million = $14 million

So each year, they are short changing the IRS $13 million by using tax loopholes. ... and since they have been married, you could say that they have short changed everyone else who pays their fair share of taxes at least $100 million dollars.
