Tax cuts aid senators . Frist earned $1 to $5 million

[no_to_war_economy]

Several senators — millionaires, many of them — have reported earning substantial dividend income in 2004, benefiting greatly from President Bush’s tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, according to financial disclosure reports made available yesterday.

Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) reported earning $1 million to $5 million in income from the W.H. Frist 2000 Qualified Blind Trust, which has a capital value of between $5 million and $25 million. Another of Frist’s trusts, the William H. Frist GST Exempt 2000 Qualified Blind Trust, was valued between $1 million to $5 million.

4. Dividends are taxed at 15% no matter how much dividend income you receive

Earned income is taxed at higher rates even if you're a married couple, each making a janitor's salary.
