So, McCain's top financial adviser helps 19,000 rich people evade taxes, and the media says: "YAWN"

The free press is another stunning illusion of America...

1. I wonder how many of those folks were contriuters to McCain

I'd bet every one of them. If the media would take the time, it would be a great article to show the tax evaders vs contributions to McCain's campaign and the RNC. We'll probably have to rely on ourselves and folks like Josh Marshall to do the investigation on this issue then hope the traditional media picks it up.

2. Major 'puke priority is to let wealthy people keep their money mostly free of

taxation and this is just one of the many ways. :grr: :D

3. I wonder if Gramm is on the list. nt

4. Unfortunately, so will the American public

They've been fed a steady diet of "taxes BAD!" for so long that many approve of the rich cheating on their taxes. Furthermore, they've been convinced that one day their ship will come in and they too will need to cheat on their taxes.
