show us the money
by rawebb

We need to keep up pressure on the McCains to reveal Mrs. McCain's financial information. It could be a useful educational exercise for many voters.

The two potential Democratic candidates made their own money and paid taxes on it. Mrs. McCain came to hers through family sources (a good Republican tradition). It might be enlightening for people to see how people with family money avoid taxes and particularly how they get around estate taxes.

People might feel a little different about taxes if they got a chance to see how people with serious money aren't paying them.

you'd have a stroke if you saw how much of ted kennedys, albert arnold gore juniors and john kerrys trust funds are in off shore, tax sheltered accounts.

Would not surprise me in the least. Tax avoidance is politically neutral. What's interesting is that there are a few people with money who still have a conscience.

when the democrat shitbirds like john edwards and the blubberous kennedy yap incessantly about people not paying their fair share, who the hell are they talking about? themselves?

nope, it's not politically neutral. you are wrong again.
