Kerry doesn't make $200,000...if his senatorial salary is only $150,000. He's getting an allowance from Mommy Dearest, but that doesn't count as 'earned income', no matter how hard crawling around on his hands and knees is. He is such a jerk, and he said so many really dumb things last night, like 'I'm a lawyer, too!' Doesn't he know lawyers are roundly despised by the hoi polloi? Oh, but I forgot. He's much too rich and important to worry about the little people. He just wants our votes, then we should shut up and sit down. "Huh! Do you know who I am!" Famous words from Fat Teddy Kennedy, repeated by Botoxboy. Plus that lame Red Sox joke that needlessly insulted Boston fans. And he looked old. He must have told Mommy Dearest to lay off the botox and orange tanning juice. I bet he's back on both by Wed.
He had a gain of $175,000 on the sale of a painting that he had an interest in. The reason for the amended return is he used the wrong tax rate on the capital gains.
He just barely qualifies for his own tax increase.
Reviewing his regular 2003 return, of note are the following:
$9,025 Dental Expense
$7,620 State and local Income taxes
$761 Property Taxes (Not a typo)
$3,326 Interest paid on mortgage(commesuarate with prop. tax???)
$43,735 gifts to charity
$610 Union and Professional Dues
$3,000 in Business Expense
$11,141 Trust and Dividend Income
$89,220 Income from Rental property royalties
That's OK - he dissed the Yankees today.
I know a hard left guy (he wears the "No W" ballcap and thinks Michael Moore is a genius) who is a fanatical, passionate Yankees fan. Subscribes to the Yankees Network out here in the Bau Area. I wonder which way he'll break now.
