John Kerry and his wife are worth ~ $750MM...

[NoMoreRedInk]

or so I've read in these forums. Just for fun, I'd like to have DU's estimates of how much income (incl. cap gains) tax they pay to the Federal Treasury each year.

My guess is about $30,000, all of which is related to John's Senate salary.

If somebody has real information on this topic, I'd love to see it.

it's not even 1 % of that.

and he got a huge inheritance worth at least $100 million. Anyone know?

8. If you make a factual assertion about a candidate that is not generally accepted to be true, you must provide a link to a reputable source to back up your claim. Allegedly "innocent" questions which are actually an underhanded effort to spread rumors are not allowed. If you really need to know the answer to your question, try Google.
