we will never know the true extent of their income.

This is America. The goal is to get rich. Enough with the strawman arguments. Unless they are cheating on their taxes, and I'm sure the IRS goes over them with a fine toothed comb, it's really none of our business. The money THK has was Republican money before it was Democrat money.

This is America....Correct.

Enough with the strawman arguments.....I'm not influenced by strawman jealousy of her wealth, class envy or whatever! I want to know answers to how she skirts the "fair tax burden" paying only 12% while her husband seeks to impose more than triple that onto others in their income bracket.

The goal is to get rich......No, the American goal is to prosper and be successful. The goal, "to get rich" is not the same.

Unless the are cheating, it is none of our business....Wrong. The potential for Theresa's fortune influencing public policy is very real and we have a right to ask for full disclosure so that we know if John Kerry is being influenced by her holdings.

I disagree. It is perfectly legitimate to point out the hypocrisy of behaviors, even if they are legal. Raising taxes on people who work for $200,000, while doing everything to avoid paying taxes yourself on a much higher income, is hypocritical. Arranging your finances to avoid paying Medicare taxes, as Edwards did, is hypocritical. They can choose to use every legal loophole they want to avoid taxes, but when they then talk about others not paying their fair share, they are hypocrites.
