John Kerry says "NO TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH"?

Question

So why does he and his billionaire wife take tax deductions? Shouldn't he be happy to pay as much tax as possible?

Answer 1

If you didn't notice, he'll say anything for a vote. He would say he's gay just to get gay peoples vote.
I don't take anything he says seriously because he has no plans and will only stoop to smearing peoples names.

Answer 2

Kerry and his wife catsup can just continue to move their income offshore, so this issue would not effect them one way or the other. After that REAL Americans are left holding the tax bag.

The real fact of the matter is if you try to overtax the rich and powerful they have the means to relocate their income to other 3rd world countries when it becomes cheaper for them to do that. The result is that the middle class ends up paying the bill for higher taxes on the rich.
Also consider the Tax loss created when a company such as Microsoft moves their operations to India and creates jobs in another country. Employee taxes are no longer paid, and America nets a loss in American taxes that are not even accounted for.
The platform of Higher Taxes for the Rich sounds good and alot of people will vote for that, but in the end they are only voting to raise their own taxes if they work for a living.

Answer 3

John Kerry's one of THEM, the super-rich, the tax cut thing is One Big Scam, and they need to pull their heads out of their 4th point of contact and re-assess the whole tax business so that you've got a chance to get forward in life even if you are working a lower-wage job. If you're a billionaire, and you invest it right, you could double your money on the stock market in a crazy short time. 5% of a billion dollars is still a lot of money, so even if it's just sittin' in the bank, chances are you'll never miss a meal you don't want to for the rest of your life...hell, if you just put it in your mattress, you'd never go hungry...they have no clue because they're so far out of the economy/off the treadmill it just doesn't matter to em anymore...you'll never see Kerry flippin' burgers etc., wondering if he's gonna make rent this month...

Answer 4

FOX news and conservative talk radio has given us a voice that we haven't had since the formation of the constitution. Unfortunatley this "Voice" has bitterly divided us as a people. Not since the Civil War have we been this divided. Sad thing is United We Stand and Divided we fall. It seems as if both the Liberals and the we Conservatives are the lambs being led to the slaughter. Remember "UNITED WE STAND". It is time we had a town meeting and find common ground so we can redefine our goals. If not, then it's divided we fall.

Answer 5

Well, I personally take offense that I pay more than $35,000 a year in income tax alone. That support TWO welfare families of MORE THAN FOUR PEOPLE EACH. I think that tax money should be reallocated for progress rather than using it to encourage people to stay on the butt and be lazy.

Answer 6

He follows the rules of the dummycrats and hides the truth. Wait a few hours and he will change his position. I think the front runners for 2008 are the biggesrt bunch of losers since the 70's.

Answer 7

His wife has moved so many American jobs off shore that its better than a tax cut. But , all that aside, it sounds like typical rich Democrat hypocrisy , to me.

Answer 8

Maybe he doesn't realize that the rich are the only people paying the taxes. Take this cahrt for example:

Answer 9

He is obeying the law as it is. He's used to responsibility, just like when he went to Vietnam while George W. Bush was on that mysterious, extended drinking binge maybe or maybe not in Alabama.

Answer 10

That is where greed comes into play. Its not right but for right now it is just how it is. We need another president like Teddy Roosevelt. He broke thought the cooperate monopolies.
