Is Kerry "unpatriotic?"
Remember when V.P. Joe Biden said it was "patriotic" for wealthier Americans to pay more in taxes? Maybe Joe needs to call Senator John Kerry.
Instead of berthing his new yacht "Isabel" near his Nantucket, Massachusetts home, Kerry docked it instead in Rhode Island. Saving $437,500 in sales tax and an annual excise tax of about $70,000.
Remember also that the Senator's wife Teresa Heinz Kerry could easily afford to pay the taxes out of the estate left by her late Republican husband's ketchup fortune. And the same Teresa Heinz Kerry in 2004 called V.P. Dick Cheney "unpatriotic."

Can’t say I blame him. Any one of us would choose to dock our yacht somewhere with less of a tax burden.
If we had yachts to dock, that is.

I know , it’s so unfair, he’s being whacked for helping folks have a job.
But , it is John Kerry, too. The irony is rich ..

I can hear Jon Cary now..”I decided to dock it in MA before I decided to dock it in RI.”

Leave him alone. Its not like he is a small people.
So, Kerry does not have to pay taxes anyway.
None of them have to pay taxes like small people.
Never have and never will.
Kerry has two reasons: DNC and Senatorial privileges.
Any problem and Geithner OK’s the fraud. Neat. DNC. RICO.
