This is rich. Or should I say for the rich, whom John Kerry likes to denigrate at every turn. After running on eliminating outsourcing and abolishing tax havens, we have this:
"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 the cash-strapped Bay State.
If the "Isabel" were kept at the 2008 Democratic presidential nominee's summer vacation home on Nantucket, or in Boston Harbor near his city residence, he would be liable for $437,500 in one-time sales tax. He would also have to pay $70,000 in annual excise taxes.
Rhode Island repealed those taxes in 1993. That has made the state something of a nautical tax haven."

Won’t rate a mention on tonight’s NBC Nightly News...
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others...
A Wiki definition of your typical Dem and RINO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick
Certainly the unemployed boatbuilders and workers in Massachusetts must be sympathetic to know John effin Kerry prefers New Zealand workmanship ($7 million dollars worth) the TLC of the Hinkley yard in Rhode Island.
WHAT A HYPOCRITCAL POS.
This shows how utterly corrupt the media is. To not cover this story, of a major presidential candidate who ran on a loud-mouth loudly-proclaimed platform to tax the rich...
Utterly corrupt.
why, I know I parked that boat in Boston, it is seared...SEARED...into my memory /sarc
Sen. Lurch may be a hypocrite fraud but those number$ extorted by the state are downright criminal and outrageous!
Lock this corrupt POS away.............
Taxes are for the proles and the Outer Party (that would be you, Journolist scum), not the Inner Party.
Marrying his ketchup queenie wife apparantly DOES cut the mustard for his royal Heinzous!
Meanwhile these rotten DemoRats in government keep sucking more taxes out of the middle class that folks can hardly make the fuel payments for their autos no less purchasing modest recreational boats as in years past. However just like in communism the elite rulers get the bennies instead!
Sedition, treason, lies, graft, corruption, tax avoidance, insults and then they probably wonder why hatred aginst them is growing to monstrous proportions.
'The hypocrite thinks that what he or she usually professes does not somehow apply to him or her'.....Wiki
Kerry’s chief of staff said this treasonous, toy poodle isn’t mooring in Rhode Island for tax purposes but warranty work. Well, that wasn’t the question...the question is, “Did the senator pay the taxes he’s obligated to pay?”
Have ya ever seen a lib that wasn't a hypocrite?
Be a damn shame if that ship sunk in the harbor.
HEY...HEY...HEY...Let's not be taking it out on the boat for the sins of the captain...
Just move another fire hydrant & dock in front of their home.
