The Next Question for McCain: How Many Servants Do You Have?
Buried at the end of a Politico.com article ("McCain Family Owns Eight Properties") is this further (quite telling) detail:"The McCains increased their budget for household employees from $184,000 in 2006 to $273,000 in 2007, according to John McCain's tax returns."
Let's assume that maybe the McCains are paying an average living wage of, say, $50,000 a head. That would give them basically 5 1/2 butlers and upstairs maids. But if they were more penurious and paid an average of, say, $25,000 a head, they could easily have over ten servants.
The man who wants to continue the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy. Got it!
