Stephen Moore, president of the Club for Growth, writes in the WALL STREET JOURNAL on Monday: "According to the Kerrys' own tax records, and they have not released all of them, the couple had a combined income of $6.8 million in income last year and paid $725,000 in income taxes. That means their effective tax rate was a whopping 12.8%.... "Under the current tax system the middle class pays far more than the Kerry tax rate. In fact, the average federal tax rate -- combined payroll and income tax -- for a middle-class family is closer to 20% or more. George W. and Laura Bush, who had an income one- tenth of the Kerrys', paid a tax rate of 30%....
"Here is the man who finds clever ways to reduce his own tax liability while voting for higher taxes on the middle class dozens of times in his Senate career. He even voted against the Bush tax cut that saves each middle-class family about $1,000." The Kerrys "have unwittingly made the case for what George W. Bush says he wants to do: radically simplify and flatten out the tax code.... So before John Kerry is given the opportunity to raise taxes again on American workers, shouldn't he and Teresa at least pay their fair share?"
BTW, you didn't address most of the questions I asked. Why?
I would love to find something about about John Kerry but he will not let me know it.
I would like to know why he will not sign from 180, why he pays less than 13% federal income tax and why he didn't check the check box on his MASS state tax return to pay the higher rate.
IOW, I want to know why he takes advantage of things he considers wrong.

Yea, those look like MAJOR GOP supporters. They real question is why this is being done by a group with major support from DEM leaning groups.
You know what is funny? I point out, in a discussion of kerry's tax plan, that he pays less than 13% in federal taxes and I get modded down to -1 in about 5 minutes.
I post this, which has no redeaming value, and it hasn't been moded down yet. Why is it so hard for people to mod like they should? The names of those that mod a message should show up so we can see who is doing it.

Kerry pays less than 13% Income Tax. What makes you think it will go up under his plan? The reason the tax code is so long is so that rich people can leagly not pay much in taxes.
He, like Bush, says one things but does the exact opposite.
Slashdot Mirror
The people running this one can arrest you, take all your stuff and deport you to a country where you can be tortured.
Other than that nothing much else is different.
Please do a search on Voter fraud. You will find out that more than 70% of the cases are DEM related.
Are you talking about the SotU address? Clinton did the same damn thing.
Kosovo.
Clinton, Leadership of BOTH parties.
CBS news and the bush memos. PBS/NPR under clinton.
Examples of the troops being left out to dry?
This code talk is bull shit. Bush has come out at SAID he thinks Roe vs Wade should be overturned. He doesn't have to use code.
Kerry's tax returns show the rich DO GET OUT OF TAXES. Hell he only paid 12.9 percent.
And the Dems have removed catholic looking people from their conferences, simply because they are wearing collars.
You are just pissed because it isn't being done by your side. If it is wrong when one side does it then it is just as wrong when the other does it.
No, it will be 50/50.
It's just the Dems are better at hiding it. If I am wrong please tell me what the GOP is doing that is worse than what the DEMS are doing.
I am almost sure that Linus stated policy on IP violations is to not give a flying fuck till someone bitches.

It's just a little harder than you make it out to be. Look how many of the subsystems have to be touched by this driver.
I don't know how to respond as I am laughing so hard.
HINT, Look what Kerrys current job is and then research what people with that job do.
Then I was mistaken, I thought this was just another /. hit piece on the GOP.
/. isn't biased as you run stories about 75% that are pro DEM.
And do not say that
Reread the post you responded to. It had three questions about kerry. You only answered one of them.
Stephen Moore, president of the Club for Growth, writes in the WALL STREET JOURNAL on Monday: "According to the Kerrys' own tax records, and they have not released all of them, the couple had a combined income of $6.8 million in income last year and paid $725,000 in income taxes.

IOW, I want to know why he takes advantage of things he considers wrong.
I, and almost every one I know, talk rather different than the way they write.
Don't you?
No, they are member groups. You would know this if you had read more than 50 words of their site.

The state he lives in gives people the option to pay a higher tax rate if they want.
He didn't check that box nor has he sent in any extra to the IRS or the US National Debt Relief Office.
Remember, rules are for the little people

How often do the NPC's repeat themselves? IOW, do they have a large or small vocabulary?

It is very difficult, if not impossible, for a President to sue for libel. Something about being a MAJOR PUBLIC FIGURE.
NO, it was called CBS news.
How is this different that CBS using forged memos?
Yes, the Dems call for higher taxes then don't pay them.

Kind of like the GOPers who, while calling for 'Family Values', can keep their dicks in their pants.

Laws can chage and acts like the NET act have changed the definition.
Yes, it is. What is being done meets the legal defination of stealing and that is all that matter in the court room.
