Terry Lynn Land is the richest Republican candidate for Senate this year — and she may have paid the least in taxes.
In 2013, Land paid a 2.7 percent tax rate. This has freed her up to dump over a million dollars into a failing campaign, which critics are kindly calling “disappointing.”
It’s a perfect example of the system being rigged for the rich.
Senator Elizabeth Warren was going to call her new book “Rigged” but settled on the more optimistic “A Fighting Chance“. And she’ll be improving the chances of Land’s Koch-blocking opponent Rep. Gary Peters next week as she visits Detroit to speak at Netroots Nation.
