John Kerry and his wife are worth ~ $750MM... |
|
or so I've read in these forums. Just for fun, I'd like to have DU's estimates of how much income (incl. cap gains) tax they pay to the Federal Treasury each year.
My guess is about $30,000, all of which is related to John's Senate salary.
If somebody has real information on this topic, I'd love to see it.

5. Slate's Field Guide to the Candidates 2004 offers this information: |
|
from page 69: Net Worth: $200 million to $840 million, including spouse's assets
Want to know anyone else?
GREAT POINT in your post. Heinz is a special interest, huh?

8. If you make a factual assertion about a candidate that is not generally accepted to be true, you must provide a link to a reputable source to back up your claim. Allegedly "innocent" questions which are actually an underhanded effort to spread rumors are not allowed. If you really need to know the answer to your question, try Google.
