So it would be a "fair share" if they could manipulate the system legally and pay no taxes? I disagree with that definition of fair share.
I am unconcerned with the apparent hypocrisy of John Kerry on this issue. Politicians are invariably hypocrites, I've know this for many years. I am concerned with the conservative push towards disproportionate tax cuts. And I would be concerned if John Kerry, when elected, decides to lower taxes for the upper class or fails to rescind their recent tax cut.
Whether the gov't takes more than it needs does nothing to justify the disproportionate lowering of taxes across financial classes.
