Deval Patrick disclosed today that he had $3.8 million in income in 2005.
He gave $300,000 to charity and paid $1.5 million in taxes.
Hey, Frank Phillips, seems that Patrick can pay those monthly mortgage bills without too much difficulty, don’t you think?
Also seems like he may be able to contribute more money to his campaign down the stretch if he needs to.
Massachusetts has elected a lot of rich guys to high office: Kennedy, Kerry, Weld, and Romney come to mind. Some were born into money, some made it themselves. Anyone want to explain why being rich will be a problem for Patrick? (I just wonder why he waited this long to do his disclosure.)
Please share widely!
