The piece argues for taxing all investments including mortgages to ensure justice, as Democrats support. It notes gifts to Mrs Garfield plus life insurance, real estate in Mentor and Washington, and subscriptions exceeding $300,000 likely reaching $400,000. It predicts Mrs Garfield’s future income from salary and concludes with examples of Grant and Lincoln family wealth opportunities.
