Arianna for Gov

[13788]

Longhornjok: Well, since I started this thread, I felt it only appropriate that I (probably) close it.

With the release of Arianna's tax returns showing she paid a total of $770 in federal income tax for the past 2 years COMBINED (and no CA state tax, either), I think her candidacy can pretty much be written off. I respect her, and her CPA's, right to use legal writeoffs to lessen her tax burden, but I think she's whistling in the wind if she thinks voters are going to buy her explanation that she is really just "a working mom" as she sits in her $7 million home in Beverly Hills.

I would say her candidacy is now officially D-O-A.

(A chastened, if somewhat more cynical, Longhornjok)

awellhungboi: You sound like Jimmy Stewart when he found out that Claude Rains was on the take in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

Hmm . . . "Longhornjok goes to Sacramento?"

Sounds like a '70's porn flick.

Longhornjok: Yeah, I know, what's next - Longhornjok learns the moon ain't made of green cheese?

I agree with Longhornjok. As much as I like Arianna and would probably enjoy sitting next to her on a long plane ride, the $771 tax bill just looks bad for a woman who is a millionaire many times over. I know she had losses, but geez...how many of us here making less than $50,000/year paid a LOT more than $771?!

It looks more and more like a freak show out there everyday.
