Wealthy Forbes Kerry Camp Tries to Hide Tax Returns

noun
1. Any of various chiefly aquatic bloodsucking or carnivorous annelid worms of the class Hirudinea.
2. One that preys on or clings to another; a parasite.

So George W. Bush is head of every company that decided to relocate overseas?

 

Ima:

You left that one over the plate.

I'd still like her finances revealed.

 

This indicates about a third grade level understanding of corporate governance. Do you think Heinz is a family run business?

The HJ Heinz corporation has been a publicly traded company since the 19th Century. Theresa Heinz neither sits on the board (interestingly enough, Republican Senatorial candidate Peter J. Coors does, as does NFL hall of famer Lynn Swann ) nor does she serve as an officer.

Collectively, the Heinz foundations own about 4% of HJ Heinz corp. stock.

They no more own factories abroad than I own the licensing rights to Microsoft Windows.

Predictably, looks like this little bit of disinformation has been permeating the republican e-mail/message board net:

Next stop: Snopes.com, if it isn't there already.

EDIT dammit chump you beat me.

I couldn't think of a more fitting 5000th post: exposing right wing propaganda....again.

 

Awesome,



Any of you guys who live in Houston ever hear those adds for the Greenspoint area. They have two old guys talking and they are telling each other about these ridiculous myths about Greenspoint. "I heard that Greenspoint was built on a nuclear waste site". "I heard that the mayor of Greenspoint wears tin foil on his head because he was abducted by aliens"

That commercial reminds me of some of the myths you guys get in your email and post in this forum.

 

I'm sure if she was doing something illegally on her taxe returns that would be obvious enough for any observer to spot, it would be caught by the IRS.

 

I agree. If her money is being used to finance his campaign, her tax returns should be made public. It's only fair.

If nothing else, it removes the appearance of impropriety.

 

ah, nevermind. There's flinging poo, and now the master of smearing poo on every wall is back, and it's time to just leave the place. There's enough crap in the world already.

 

pgabs -- If Forbes Kerry is financing his campaign in part with his wife's wealth, we need to know if his wife is paying her fair share of taxes. This is very simple logic. If she is not, then the campaign is financed illegally.

Have you donated to G.W. Bush? If so, you are helping to finance the Bush campaign. We need to see your IRS filings to know if his campaign is being financed legally or not, right?

There are lots of reasons to open records... finding out if a campaign is being financed legally is not one of them. That's the job of the FEC and IRS - not the public.

 

Gotta give it to ol' T_J though. For the last few days he has blitzed the board with poo.

SHOCK AND AWE

 

Sounds like JFK stole your woman, T_J!

 

T_J's women can't technically be stolen. They're available to anyone with a spare twenty. Check the back of the Houston Press for details.

p.s. FORBES!! Did you hear? He said FORBES!!

 

You're right. The only women in T_J's life are the kind you rent. I forgot. My bad.

 

She's not the benefactor (mostly). IIRC, even while he was trailing badly in the primaries, The Kerry's did not do the paperwork and filing necessary for the Mrs. to tap into her personal fortune to help the campaign. Kerry did refinance their house and used those funds to support his flagging primary effort, but again, IIRC, that was 6 milllion... not a small sum, but nothing Kerry couldn't eventually pay off... of course, it helps that it would be absolutely no problem for the Mrs. to pay off that debt as well, so I can see the argument that H-K's wealth might have helped him make the decision to refinance the home.

However, there has been no H-K money going to Kerry and since he wrapped up the nomination he hasn't needed it as he raised more than Bush in the last cycle. Final analysis: H-K's wealth may have made it easier for JFK to make the primary move, but her wealth did not directly contribute to the campaign and matters little now.

 

Yet again you show your inability to process even the simplest of information. They did not relocate overseas, they opened new facilities. Moreover, that is the Heinz corporation, of which the Heinz family only owns 4%, and that is the entire Heinz family, not just Kerry's wife. In addition, the Heinz corporation still operates multiple facilities inside the U.S.

Batting about 0 for 15 today, huh?

OWNED

 

and exactly what did GWB do to "earn" his wealth??? oh, that's right......... nothing.

blah blah blah, yada yada yada..........

 

I would think that the towers of liberal integrity would have better things to do than communally insult T_J.

I would have thought that but that has never been the case and, apparently, never will be the case.

Kerry's wife is a major benefactor and a potential First Lady yet she should be protected from disclosure just because they filed separately. Too funny.

Lady, I hope you wanted him to run for President...
