"kerry will only tax the rich"

Kerry and his wife ARE rich and pay about a 12% to 15% tax rate.

Why does he pay a smaller percentage than someone making $60,000 a year????

How can Kerry claim to be a Catholic and openly defy the Pope?

You can't tax the rich. In a capitalist economy (which history proves is the only one that works) the "rich" control wages and prices (you may not like that, but it's better than government control of wages and prices).

So... if you tax the rich, the wages you get go down, and the prices you pay go up.

So... A tax on the rich is paid by you.

So... A tax on the rich is a tax on you.
