Democrats and Republicans. Are they interested in fair taxes?

Democrats (just those in top 20): $844 million
Republicans (just those in top 20): $478 million

Do any of these people understand someone who struggles to make their mortgage, pay for gas in the car ...


I do have one issue - John McCain is valued at 22.6 million, but a considerable portion of that comes from property his wife purchased with her money. if we were to follow the same logic, Kerry should have a considerable portion added to his wealth from his wife's nearly $800 million portfolio.
