Taxes are for the Plebs, Not the Patricians....

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Actually, Kerry’s home state is Colorado.

This story has many “teachable moments” for conservatism

[Cobra64]

"Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family's new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to his cash-strapped home state."

I thought some democrat (Dean?) said it's un-American not to pay taxes.

[Lockbar]

Tax “cheat” A-Hole !

[OldNavyVet]

Ours is a “free” country ... Moving to Nevada, Texas, and ??? is a GREAT way to avoid state income taxes.

Kerry is showing smarts ...

As much as I dislike Kerry, I dislike taxes more.

[Huskrrrr]

In 2004 it was reported that Bush contributed approx. 12% of his income (800K) to charity while the Kerry’s contribution was less than 1% of their income (5 million). Nothing Ketchup Boy does suprises me.

[Huskrrrr]

Yes, you do make a good point.

[YHAOS]

Kerry did exactly what he should have done . . . and exactly what he would condemn others for doing.

[RJL]

Kerry spokesman David Wade said Friday the boat is being kept at Newport Shipyard... "for long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes."

A Department of Revenue spokesman said Kerry would be liable for Massachusetts taxes if he berthed the boat in the Bay State within six months of its purchase.

What a hypocrite! I say about a year from now Kerry's brand new boat will be moved to Massachusetts, the brand new boat no longer needing "long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes" and in a happy coincidence, Kerry and Mama T will have saved $500,000.

[Tzimisce]

Pay your fair share.

Because I’m not going too. LOL!

[fhayek]

But the libs are always for taxes, especially on the rich. You would have thought that he would have docked in Massachusetts specifically to be liable for more taxes.

[Diogenesis]

Mr. Kerry is very busy taxing other Americans;
too busy to pay his own American taxes.

Is not our only job, as little people,
to supply him chicks for nothing and money for free?

"With $165,400, Sen. Dodd also tops the list of members of Congress who took campaign cash from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since 1989.
Sen. Barack Obama, the self-styled agent of change, is a distant second at $126,000 and Sen. John Kerry is third at $111,000.

Yeah, baby! Don't be nautical in Massachusetts.
