I received this by email today and found it interesting. I have not confirmed it anywhere but imagine somebody has by now. I noticed that Kerry seems to have a fascination with things European like his ski lodge. It is ironic how Kerry is bagging on the top 2% wage earners in America when he is one and obviously doesn't pay what he considers to be a fair share in taxes. Bit by bit, Kerry's full story is getting known.
Quote:
Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax burden
on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day". This is the day
after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government. This year, tax
freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been since 1991. It's
latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in 2000. Notice anything special
about those dates?
Recently, John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are
actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave
no explanation and provided no data for this claim.
Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men.
Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions,
all worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an old barn
brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame).
Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does that
sound right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out
a way to avoid paying his own.
Pass this on. Only about 30 days until the election.
