I would imagine that the Heinz Corp...has paid more in taxes...than you or I could ever hope to make.

Frankly I think that even though I loathe them all...I'd like to see algore's, heinzscary, & Mr. Ed's taxes reduced.

I rather doubt it will happen....but I'd vote for a rock if they would implement two things....Abolishment of the IRS, ( replaced with some sort of NST, FLAT TAX, or the like. ) & absolute term limits.

FRegards,

When I cite Heinz, Kerry, Edwards, Kennedy and Gore, - I am talking about the extremely wealthy who pander to the poverty pimps while lecturing and berating the upper middle class for not paying a "fair share"

No one is ever going to win an argument about how much tax to pay in absolute dollars- it's about percentages. My family paid about 40% of our gross income last year in federal state and local tax. Did TerAyza pay 40% of her gross income? Did Teddy?

These wealthy demagogues employ a stable of accountants and attorneys to shelter their assets and draw allowances from tax-sheltered trusts while lecturing folks making $200K (entrepreneurs and salaried people) they are selfish to support the Bush tax cut.

I suspect a flat rate of 17-20% would milk more tax money from these hypocrites than they now pay. Of course, they evade full disclosure of their tax returns, so my hunch cannot be proven.

It would be interesting to see how corporations will be treated under this new proposal. I suspect that you and I both know that corporations don't pay taxes anyway- people do.
