Reuters happily informs us of the following facts:

John Kerry's wife inherited $500 million. John Kerry's Nantucket house is worth $9 million. John Kerry's boat is worth $150,000. John Kerry's sporting equipment cost $2,500.

And George Bush has a huge ranch, but for some reason it's not important how much that cost. Also, he fishes. No news on whether he pays $500 for a fishing rod or not, or how many rods he owns. I dunno -- maybe he builds 'em by hand, and maybe he carved the ranch out of the wilderness with his own two hands.

Or maybe it's because Kerry, et al, attack the current administration for giving big tax breaks to their fellow wealthy Americans (http://angry-economist.russnelson.com/tax-cuts-for-the-wealthy.html), among other things. It's an embarrassingly uninformed line of thinking, but one that the Left has latched on to pretty hard. Even more embarrassing is that their guy (Kerry) is actually a fellow wealthy American, just like the current administration. Kerry certainly doesn't mention that often, heaven-forbid Reuters does.

And "focus on" is an exaggeration at best, but I digress.

I am honestly utterly confused by this. Are you implying that there's something hypocritical about a wealthy person advocating higher taxation for the wealthy? What's so embarassing about that?
