The point is that she is rich, and yet has found loopholes in order to pay less taxes. It's an ad hominem argument intended to make the Kerrys look like sketchy people. If that sways you, then go nuts... personally, I'd prefer to focus on what his policies would mean for the people of the country.

What do you mean who cares? Her husband is running for president while they are running loopholes around the system... Perfect way to be on the same level with people who pay mad taxes and dont make millions...

yea i guess ur right... that is sorta bullshit.. i just dont see how she has those connections.. if she's kerry's wife.. i mean he is just a senator before all this.. it must be internal and her own tax fraud. yea that is bullshit but it wont sway my vote.. even if that wasnt ur purpose i guess that is shit.. sorry for acting like it wasnt important

^Well, it is an inherently fallacious argument, if that helps.

i don't know how rich heinzy is. kerry could easily put all the income on himself, then her gross income and thus taxes would be low. there are so many loopholes, and people just don't know about them. when you have access to excessive money you also have sources that can get you thru those loopholes.

I just think it is strange that Kerry wants a plan that puts more taxes on the rich, and he ends up paying a smaller tax rate then the middle class. I just dont get it.

Heinzy is VERY rich for anyone who doesen't know. But the fact that Bush paid 30 percent in taxes is also deceiving because as you know he has his own loopholes. I mean look at his VP! Halliburton was far from paying it's taxes when he was president of it.
