For 2003, her tax rate was 15%. I think this is all that was released about her taxes.

My gut is telling me, that T Heinz-Kerry is not paying her "fair share"[.]

Of course, you'd have to first pin down one of those folks to tell you what exactly this fabled "fair share" is...and for all their rhetoric and emotion...none of them seem to be able to give a straight answer.

They haven't to me, at least.

More importantly, though: my gut tells me that if indeed Heinz wasn't or isn't paying this illusory "fair share," various elements would shamelessly alter the definition of "fair share" to exclude her, neatly.

LG, Teresa Heinz is heavily invested in municipal bonds. Evidently they're almost taxfree. That was Ross Perot's investment of choice as well. When you're a billionaire a slight return on investment doesn't seem to be a problem.
