"fact that most people are not very interested and care little about politics."

...or care about what he actually said. You're right "what the fuck??" He never said don't tax the rich. This author apparently took the quote "rich people find a way to dodge their taxes" and ran with it.

This speech was in annendale, Va. and i just got finished watching it. He was simply referring to the fact that small business owners are the ones who will bear the brundt of any additional tax burden inacted by liberals, because these are the rich as defined by the left. as much as they would like you to believe gaudy, private-jet owning, pompous, born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-their-mouths rich people are the ones they would like you to believe they are going after (hell, these people find a million and one loopholes in getting out of their taxes anyway - hence, the above quote).

It really was a benign statement, not selling some tax plan on his behalf - but arguing against a tax plan Kerry would have.

what the fuck did the second half of the article have to do with the first anyway.

...his point was (and this is how you quote somebody) "Nobody in this country should pay more than 35% of their earning" (OH MY GOD - HOW COULD HE SAY SUCH A THING!!)
