mcains wifes tax return?

Why did she after earning over 6 million "reported" Ya right! LOL!, pay a lower percentage rate 28% than most of us earning under 100k? Uh. 1.7mil divided by 6mil equals %28. I'm sure they're not too awful worried about fuel over $4/gal. They don't buy it. We tax payers do. And they DO NOT CARE!

    First of all, taxpayers earning under $100K pay WAY less than 28%. A single person making $100K and claiming a standard deduction will pay under 20%.

    That aside, much of her income is very likely from capital gains, which are taxed at a rate of 15%.
