Help Stop the Stupidity

a coworker of mine sent me the following email which i find completly bullshit. i already pointed out how people are paying more taxes... through the state, local, payroll, and property taxes... but can anybody help me with numbers about how much Bush and Kerry paid in taxes...
the email is in the extended...

> Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax

> burden  on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day".  This is the  day after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government.

> This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been  since 1991. It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in  2000.

>  

> Notice anything special about those dates?

> Today John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are  actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave no explanation  and provided no data for this claim.

> Another interesting fact:  Both George Bush and John Kerry are  wealthy men.

> Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas.

> Kerry owns 4 mansions, all worth several million dollars.  (His ski resort  home in Idaho is an old barn brought over from Europe in pieces.  Not your  average A-frame).

> Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000.  Does that sound  right?  The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has  figured  out a  way to avoid paying his own.

> Pass this on. Only 202 days until the election.

also what was that story with Bush reclassifying his ranch? anybody have details? Thanks all.
