Limousine Liberal... taxes are for the little people

[Blood of Tyrants]

Not only that, Kerry has NEVER volunteered to pay the optional higher state income tax rate in Massachusetts.

[Doomonyou]

Obviously, it's Bush's fault. Tax cuts for the rich and all that.

[lizma]

I don't understand why a guy who has $500+ million is collecting a taxpayer funded salary anyway?

[tomnbeverly]

Come on now you know the rich are a lot of things but they certainly aren't dumb... The loopholes in the tax code that the president wants to get rid of and simplify will sting people like the Heinz-Kerry's and help the middle class. The problem as John Kerry elitess is aware is that the very rich do not pay their fair share.. elitess scum..

[Casloy]

UH OH, there goes the tax issue in the debates. Bush will be armed, loaded and waiting for him to bring it up.

[Sola Veritas]

Don't you understand? The "rich" like Three Bandaids and Ketchup Woman pay their taxes in the form of "carring" for the poor! Lip service is more important than paying taxes....

Seriously, one also needs to note than the Bushes paid about 10% of their gross income to charities (Churches, etc.) The Kerrys paid hardy anything.

As F'n would say:

"Let them eat Canh Chua Dau Ca. No, wait.. I meant 'Cake' before I meant Canh Chua Dau Ca."

[ampat]

Good point. I think congressional and cabinet positions should be means tested for salaries.

[pushforbush]

Let's not let this get hidden by the flood of forged memos.
By the way, how do we know that these were really Kerry's tax returns?

[listenhillary]

Bump to find later

[Henchster]

If Kerry thought he had a bad month in August, he must feel like the campaign is really turning his direction is September. {;^)

[tractorman]

The tax returns are probably forgeries.

[Fiddlstix]

Limousine Liberal... taxes are for the little people

Yep! That pretty well sums it up.

[Doe Eyes]

Obviously, it's Bush's fault. Tax cuts for the rich and all that.

I had no idea it had gone this far. The very wealthly pay a much smaller percentage of their income in taxes than I do. I guess however, they are in the 5% that pays most of the income taxes in America.

I don't understand why a guy who has $500+ million is collecting a taxpayer funded salary anyway?

For a job he refuses to show up to.
