LOL (2.00 / 2)

Hey guys, ease off. Just like average Americans who own 7 hours with a wife that is a heiress to a beer dynasty, John McCain struggles with his bills too.

He's pulling the old "Grover Norquist"--trying to starve the government until it's small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Re: LOL (2.00 / 1)

Yeah, they'll try to paint it as struggling with his bills. That's bullshit. He's worth a HUGE amount of money, and for a Senator to not pay taxes is unacceptable. Furthermore, how did this not show up on his tax returns? Oh, that's right, he REFUSED TO RELEASE Cindy's. That's not gonna look good.

Actually, he's not worth millions (none / 0)

his wife is, and they do have a pre-nup (plus whatever provisions are in the trusts, which I assume her daddy set up for her long before she got married).

Which means that if Cindy ever decided to ditch him for calling her a "rhymes-with-runt", then he might be pretty SOL.

Of course, in the meantime he lives with her in his choice of 7 large homes, and rides in her private jet, and...

Cindy's comment, on John first dating her (2.00 / 3)

"I couldn't understand why he'd be interested in me"

Yeah, why would a 42 year old man be interested in a 24 year old ex-USC cheerleader millionaire heiress?  Jeez, I can't imagine...

It wouldn't show up on his returns (2.00 / 1)

because it's property taxes.  And since they weren't paid, they shouldn't deductible on anyone's taxes.

Furthermore, if the property is owned by a trust, then depending on the structure of the trust, then even when property taxes are paid, they wouldn't be deductible on John's or Cindy's 1040.

"shouldn't deductible"

Shouldn't BE deductible.  Sorry, posting while watching "Thomas and Friends" with my daughter.  Sadly, not any of the episodes narrated by George Carlin.
