I'd like to see Kerry announce he'll refuse his salary if elected
and have him donate it to some kind of charity or foundation.

Great contrast between him and the village idiot..neither of which needs the money.

4. Why should he? Have you noticed Democrats
are always asked if they are donating or giving money from books, etc. Does anyone ever ask the Republicans that? Rarely.

5. that would be stupid.....IMHO....then they would accuse him of
being a gigolo...living off his wife.....

He could cut his and the congress salaries to bring them more in line with the rest of us. And put a cap on ceo and executive salaries. And ask to use the rest of the money for goo things...

7. I don't think so. It reeks of desperation, pandering and grandstanding...
It would be better if announced it after he wins.
