She attacks Enron and Dynegy for using "loopholes" to reduce their taxes to nearly zero...then it turns out, to the surprise of some gullible people, that this very wealthy Brentwood doyenne used some "tax writeoff" scams to reduce her owed tax to nearly zero. I hope some of the middle-class supporters she may have (probably not many, actually) set up the "Joe Sixpack Speaking Fund" and then use their "losses" in that fund to offset their real income. I doubt Arianna even knows what she believes anymore. Just a few years ago she was pimping for New Gingrich. Then she decided her election prospects were better if she turned into a Ralph Nader kind of populist socialist. And now it turns out she was making heavy use of exactly the kind of "special interests" and "tax avoidance scams" she decries in others. --Tim May
