Taxes come in many forms. The Federal gov't reduces it's taxes and cuts it's benefits to individual states which in turn raises it's taxes. Maybe not in income tax but in sales tax or various types of fees.

I am an independent contractor and I pay taxes of over 50% of what's left after expenses.

Many of us pay a bigger percentage than the elite rich. They also can take advantage of loopholes in the tax laws....................there are many.

Teresa Heinz is in muni bonds. That means she sacrifices any real profit or upside for tax-free status. it's not only perfectly legal it's very conservative. So quit attacking her. teresa also gives away millions to charities every year. Millions. And she is not running for presdient. In case you hadn't noticed.

If you want to scour someone's tax returns look at Kerry's. He's the candidate not her, and their finances are separate.
