Seems that Kerry isn't exactly all that keen on the rich paying high taxes - at least, not where HIS WIFE is concerned.

As the article observes, well over half of his wife's income was non taxable. The article further observes that a tax rate of 12.4% is also lower than that paid by nearly all middle class taxpayers in 2001 (the last year for which this info has been released by the IRS). _________________ "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse."

Kerry does not get it. You raise the taxes on the wealthy, they hide their money in tax shelters rather than investing it to avoid paying taxes on it......and the middle class like me end up footing the tax bill.
I don't know about anybody else here, but if I was one of those that make over $200,000, I would try and hide it from the feds too. _________________ Regards,
