4/26 Kerry doesn't own an SUV, his family does:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-4009850,00.html
\_ Oooh! Tell us about Roger Clinton!
\_ Funny how he both uses his wife as a dodge, by saying it's not
really *his* car, and sets himself up as a hero for buying
an American car. So, is owning a Chevy SUV good or bad Mr.
Kerry?
\_ 'Cos when your own candidate is suffering due to a war he created
and the lies he told, it's best to point to his opponent's car.
\_ The point here is that Kerry lied about owning the car
because he didn't want to look bad. He should've just told
the truth. He is a career politican in the worse sense.
\_ 1 SUV is less expensive than 80 billion to invade iraq
\_ unlike Bush?
\_ Oh Bullpucky. I hate my wife's car and would sell it in
a hearbeat if I could, but since she bought it before
we were married I just have to put up with it. I am sure
with a millionaire wife, she can buy whatever car she
likes, with or without her husbands permission. It is not
"his" car unless he drives it. Does he drive it?
\_ This is just sad. The man's wife's car is about as relevant
to this campaign as Laura Bush's formerly liberal ideals.
\_ As I pointed out above, I don't care what he drives,
but the fact that he's making such pathetic attempts
to lie about it. Not to mention, but since they are
married, it IS "his" car.
\_ I am pretty sure married people can own property
seperately. Am I wrong here?
\_ For those who espouse traditional family values
as republicans do, marriage is an absolutely form
of bondage. Yes.
\_ Don't be an idiot. It has nothing to do
with republicans. They didn't set up the
marriage and divorce laws.
\_ When you get married to an independent woman, check
back in with us. Until then, get a life.
\_ So says the same sort of idiot that put in place
the "divorce means the woman gets half the man's
stuff" laws. According to the law, just
property is jointly held. (Unless they have a
prenup that says otherwise.)
\_ Which state? California is a community property
state. How about Massachussetts? And if you
ask me if I support Windows, I'll tell you no,
because I own and use a Mac exclusively; my
wife's PC is nothing to do with me, despite my
community property interest. This is pure
bullshit semantics.
\_ You don't know what you are talking about:

"Separate property is property that each spouse
owned before the marriage. Separate property
also includes inheritances and gifts (except
perhaps gifts between spouses) acquired during
marriage. During and after the marriage, each
spouse may keep control of his or her separate
property." She came into the marriage worth
$400M, surely she is able to afford to buy
her own seperate car, unless they have
comingled their accounts. Do you have any
evidence otherwise? |

From the Associated Press. Kerry Says His Family Owns SUV, Not He Friday April 23, 2004 12:46 AM PITTSBURGH AP - Does John Kerry, who supports higher automobile fuel economy standards, own a gas-guzzling SUV? He does, but says it belongs to the family, not to him. During a conference call Thursday with reporters to discuss his upcoming jobs tour through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, the Democratic presidential candidate was asked whether he owned a Chevrolet Suburban. I dont own an SUV, said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nations dependence on foreign oil supplies. Kerry also has made rising gasoline prices an issue in the campaign against President Bush. In Houston on Thursday, Kerry said the president broke a 2000 campaign pledge to jawbone oil-producing nations by pressuring them to increase their output. Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV. The family has it. I dont have it, he said. Kerry said its important for his family to buy American cars and pledged to keep car manufacturing jobs in the country if elected. He said he is interested in a hybrid car, and has talked to Ford about making it the campaign car. Were going to keep jobs in America and help the industry be more competitive with foreign manufacturers that are building those cars today, Kerry said. The Massachusetts senator said hell release more details during the jobs tour about his plans to keep jobs in the country. I want cars to be made in Michigan, made in America, made by the United Auto Workers, Kerry said. |

For example, wages earned by the husband and wife during marriage generally are considered marital property. If one or both spouses buy a house or establish a business during the marriage, that usually will be marital property, particularly if the house or business is purchased with the husbands and wifes earnings. Separate property is property that each spouse owned before the marriage. Separate property also includes inheritances and gifts except perhaps gifts between spouses acquired during marriage. During and after the marriage, each spouse may keep control of his or her separate property. Each spouse may buy, sell, and borrow money on his or her separate property. Income earned from separate property, such as interest, dividends, or rent generally are classified separate property. However, in some states that recognize community property, these profits may become marital property. Separate property can become marital property if it is mixed with marital property. If, for example, a wife owned an apartment building before the marriage and she deposited rent checks into a joint checking account, the rent money probably would become marital property, although the building is likely to remain the wifes separate property as long as she kept it in her name. If the wife changed the title on the building from her name alone to the names of both herself and her husband, that probably would convert the building into marital property. In addition, if one spouse put a great deal of work into the other spouses separate property, that could convert the separate property into marital property, or it could give the spouse who contributed the work a right to some form of payback. Chapter 9 will discuss how courts divide marital property in a divorce. |
