“America needs a strong and vibrant U.S.-Flag Merchant Marine. That is why you … can continue to count on me to support the Jones Act (which also includes the Passenger Vessel Services Act) and the continued exclusion of maritime services in international trade agreements.”
~ Barack Hussein Obama, August 28, 2008

DUH, the laws only apply to the little people, same as the Leona Helmsley rule/law on taxes. And of course illegals are exempt from all laws.

Doesn’t matter; he has a (D) after his name. Rangle wll (may) be their one sacrificial lamb. And he’ll likely be acquitted or given a wrist slap.

Owning a new yacht is a great experience and the fun of owning it shouldn’t be diminished by the difficulty of paying for it. Many people have found that by placing their new yacht in charter they can enjoy the thrill of yacht ownership while using the charter income and tax benefits to significantly reduce the cost of ownership.

Report: "denied that the old poodle was berthing his boat out of state to avoid paying his own taxes to his own tax-ridden state."

Response: Being that Democrat "Old Poodle" Al Gore gets his Chakras released by hand massage, does this "Democrat Old Poodle" Kerry get his Chakras released by tax dodges? A rule is developing to wit: Democratic Politicians are "Old Poodles" and have Chakras that need release!

He’s a tax evader for sure, but the yacht is technically owned by an LLC in Pennsylvania. That’s Mama T’s legal residence for tax purposes.
