Tax Day - Candidates Pay Themselves

Bush and Kerry made some big contributions this year to the national coffers

  • Bush made $822,126 and paid $227,490 in taxes
  • Kerry made $395,338 and paid $90,575 in taxes

I find it interesting that the taxes public officials pay help to pay their own salaries as government employees.

    that is really funny/odd . . . i wonder how the break down goes - like what percentage and how much actually gets recycled back into their own pay
