Do you even understand the economic term "average effective tax rate"? It seems clear that you don't. Here it is: Average Effective Tax Rate = nominal tax rate + use of loopholes, averaged over a given population sample (ie, averaged over whatever population you are looking at... the top fifth, the bottom fifth, the middle third, or all 100% of tax filers.)

I think if ketchup head wants to be President he needs another annulment.... On the other hand then he would be out of ketchup. OH OH how common..... Testy Teresa Tirade: I Can't Believe I Came to America It didn't take long for the rigors of the campaign trail to sour first lady-in-waiting Teresa Heinz, who fumed yesterday that she "can't believe" she moved to America and married an American politician. "I can't believe my family left Africa and came to this country," Heinz Kerry complained to the New York Post's Cindy Adams. "I can't believe I ever even married an American." "A politician's wife has a hard life," she said. "To become more of a 'thing' and less of a person is terrible." Teresa's tirade continued, "I can't believe I married a second politician." Then referring to her first husband, the late Sen. John Heinz, she blasted: "I can't believe I married the first politician. He wasn't one when we met." "What people don't know is that I am basically shy. I never wanted to do this," Heinz Kerry complained. newsmax.com
