The funniest excuse I heard was on Hannity. The lib told him the reason it was in R.I. was that it had a hole in it that could only be fixed there.

I'm sure that if someone were to do some digging, they would find that the Kerry/Heinz family has managed to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes that us little people would never get away with avoiding.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath the surface?

Kerry and the Dems still think that the problem with Kerry is about message and response to criticisms, rather than the fact that the criticisms are invariably accurate and devastating character flaws.

“I should have paid more attention and done it faster or whatever,” he said. “I just didn’t think we had to.”

The tax code is just too complicated for his pretty little head to grasp, don't you know.

Yawning, just another RAT trying to break a law that you MUST obey.

How long has he been hiding the thing in Rhode Island? If he just bought it yesterday, I will give him a pass.

“The Massachusetts senator pointed out that he is not ‘legally’required to pay the taxes, but recognizes that politically the taxes must be paid.”

The Massachusetts senator pointed out that he has been caught trying to avoid the taxes he expects others to pay, so his political advisers have told him to pay up and claim there never was a plan to avoid the taxes at all.

Throughout the weeklong story, Kerry has insisted that he will pay whatever state taxes are owed – estimated to be $500,000 – on the yacht.

Kerry has so far not had to pay Massachusetts’ taxes on the boat because it is based in Rhode Island, saving Kerry from technically having to pay the Bay State’s sales, usage and excise taxes on the boat.

What kind of double talk is that? If the boats in MA he owes the taxes if in RI he doesn't. So if he's paying "whatever state taxes are owed" he's paying nothing.
Look, nobody begrudges anyone a chance to legally reduce their taxes, it's just that "progressives" like Kerry never met a tax they didn't want to hike. Therefore he should be paying above and beyond what he owes. I guess it's like Leona Helmsley said, "taxes are for the little people."

Should have waited until he actually sailed it before breaking the story.

John kery is of course an unrepentant liar and traitor to this country. I am not a baby killer or war criminal just like the two and a half million soldiers that served in Viet Nam. You kerry are the one that went to Paris for treasonous talks with the Communists. You accused recent troops of things they did not do again. You seem to blame everyone else of your faults. What name should I call you now?

Kerry: Yacht story 'our fault'

Gee John-Boy, you mean the "Don't You Know Who I Am" approach didn't work?

This guy almost became our President. Notice how all the democRAT president wannabes have turned out to be really scum and now look what we have in the White House.

You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You say.. “Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?” First.. get a million dollars. Now.. you say, “Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, ‘You.. have never paid taxes’?” Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: “I forgot!” How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don’t say “I forgot”? Let’s say you’re on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, “I forgot armed robbery was illegal.” Let’s suppose he says back to you, “You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, ‘I forgot’?” Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!”

“integrity, integrity, integrity ....”

Very typical of dems like kerry and 0; saying their gong to do something is the same as doing it.

“i’ll release my SF180”

“i’ll pay the MA taxes”

“no new taxs <$250k”

The Massachusetts state budget for FY 2011 is $27.935 billion, or about $4000 per person. The half million dollars of taxes he was evading amounts to the total state budget for 125 of its citizens. Hey, Gigolo Johnny, go tell 125 of your constituents why they have to pay taxes and you (or actually your wife) don't.

P.S. I wonder how Gigolo Johnny has voted on various laws to allow states to charge taxes on interstate purchases like a $10 book from Amazon.com.

Where is it moored? I am in Newport on business and can go get a picture of it before I leave.

He also said something about who actually owns it. He put ownership under a charter business and he will not owe ANY personal taxes/fees on it. That is how smart money keeps their money.

“never our long-term intention here,” Kerry said of any speculation that he wanted to avoid taxes.”

Kerry confesses. Avoiding taxes was his short term goal.

Lucky for us liberals are so arrogant.
