And yes many Americans pay no income tax even though they make more than 200,000 a year.
Ya know Greenspan already credited those tax cuts with helping keep the economy out of a major recession,whihch otherwise would've been imminent, which was a direct result of Clinton policy, so in all fairness, those cuts should stay intact.
Greenspan gave the goahead with the spending and stated that the tax cuts were great. Everyone knows if that man farts in public, stock would fall in bean shares! ;)
But you know what class I was referring to. ;)
If John Kerry wins the presidency, his household will be the richest ever to occupy the White House. What was that about "Two Americas" how in the hell does that relate to poor america?

Teresa Heinz Kerry, controls a vast fortune estimated by a Los Angeles Times study to fall somewhere between $900 million to $3.2 billion. Through a series of entirely legal maneuvers, Kerry is attempting to conceal from American voters the full extent of his wife's wealth and her corporate holdings — and the fact that she apparently manages to pay a remarkably small amount of taxes.
Even then, the first two pages of Mrs. Kerry's Form 1040 are a mere summary that will disclose virtually nothing we don't already know. They will not disclose specific holdings; income, profits, or losses from individual investments or partnerships; or whether or not Mrs. Kerry utilizes potentially abusive tax shelters or off-shore entities. Mrs. Kerry's reported taxable income will remain suspiciously small in proportion to reasonable estimates of her vast wealth. And voters will have no explanation as to why.
Already Kerry's economic proposals seem tuned to serve his wife's economic interests. His proposal last March to end tax breaks for U.S. corporations that do business overseas was designed with a loophole that would let the H. J. Heinz Company — the centerpiece of Mrs. Kerry's family fortune — keep its overseas tax breaks, and get a lower domestic tax rate at the same time.
