All correct, but we must resist the temptation of class warfare.

I am a long term admirer of boats and that boat is not pretty enough for 7 mil.

He should have had a J boat built. By Goetz.

[edcoil]

True and his wife is NO trophy wife.

Around here, the majority of government subsidies go to retired bankers and businessmen. It is a major government bailout to about 50 selected people that receive hundreds of thousands of dollars for their farms and many don’t even have a tractor.

I know what you mean. But we are no longer living in a society and economy where rich men gained their wealth through hard work and providing goods and services to the masses at affordable prices as in olden days....which enriched our society from the ground up. And in that kind of a system resentment for a man's achievement was immoral.

But after two generations or more of Progressive government, most great paragons of wealth today got it in one way or the other sucking on the government teat...whether bankers first in line at the eating trough of FED money creation or blotted government employees at all levels.

I never thought I would ever feel like the man in Atlas Shrugged who busted the mouth of the girl at The Motor Works who just received new braces from the Company collective but I do...it is not a good feeling but it is there and I suspect I am not alone.

It is class warfare. But not based on income only. It is the people against the Apparatchiks and Nomenklatura.

[hosepipe]

The term missed is the TAX HAVEN of DEMOCRAT Newport, Rhode Island..

[dtrpscout]

BS...off with their heads!

Actually, not only is she not a Trophy, I heard her Mother had to tie Pork Chops around her neck so the Dog’s would play with her.

Really? Did Kerry?

[Louis Foxwell]

Resist the temptation of class warfare. Indeed. I have been struggling against the ruling class my entire adult life. Why in the world would I not oppose a class of so called citizens who consider me fuel for their fires?

[dumpthelibs]

Unless trophy is a stuffed warthog. There fixed it

[raybbr]

Hey, at least he got a yacht for seven million. All Chelsea get’s is a one night party.

[Carry_Okie]

Seven million quite apparently doesn't go very far in New Zealand.

[Carry_Okie]

Kerry has no class, especially when he can get a REAL sailboat for only $785K.

I saw her two weeks ago in Mystic Connecticut, a Herreschoff in mint condition. "Pet" is real beauty.

[Kenny Bunk]

.....boat is not pretty enough ......I agree.

What the hell could possibly be in that 72' sloop that made it cost $7 million? Is it possible they charged $5 Thousand per mile for the delivery? And I haven't seen a deck house and superstructure quite so ugly since crossing paths with a 100-year-old, rust-streaked Greek freighter that had goats on the foredeck and laundry flying from the signal halyards (I am not kidding). Teresa must have had design input.

[oldbill]

Don’t get your hopes up.

We are now at the point where 50% of Americans don’t pay taxes. They don’t care about what things cost or what deficits do.

And they all vote democrat.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“He should have had a J boat built. By Goetz.”

Yeah, Bernard Goetz.

[texmexis best]

I wonder too at just what it is that makes it worth 7 mil. Must be one heck of a galley.
