It may be a little disingenuous for Kerry to say that he should pay more in taxes if he is avoiding the collection process, but not more so then Bush's statements that his tax cuts were targeted to the middle class. Those numbers don't add up, either.

Of course Bush's tax cuts weren't targeted to the middle class, they were targeted to
everyone. Everyone needed more money--the lower and middle classes to pay their bills, and the upper class to make investments, hire people, and buy expensive crap. It's what we needed to get the economy going, and it worked: shortest recession in American history.
Now, as for Kerry's tax choices, as much as he hates paying them, he should be a Republican. In Mass., the liberals have made it optional to actually pay a higher percentage of your taxes if you choose to. John Kerry does not. And I don't blame him a bit. But it makes me wonder, if the Democrats' poster boy isn't paying the higher tax rate, who would?
