Agreed. Anyone who does not get around paying these “taxation without representation” taxes is more or less stupid. I can’t stand Kerry at all but would do the same thing if I were in his shoes. So would any of you out there, come on be honest about it.

And would you ALSO become a member of Congress and use your power to create massive additional amounts of “taxation without representation” taxes and fund ever increasing armies of armed tax collectors to go after them, WHILE you were also "getting around paying" yourself?

Come on, be honest about it.

Yes, I will be honest. No I would not do that. I would never run for office to start with. I’m interested in politics but would never want to be a politician. Now, have you ever lied or cheated on your tax return? Come on now, we all have at one time or another.

Oh come now, the issue is not a US Senator avoiding his home state’s taxes

it is an issue of HUGE HYPOCRISY about a liberal who has spent decades showboating on passing populist legislation and developing govt programs that tax away our income to help the “unfortunate”- while hoarding his own fortune.
What ARE his principles, anyway?

And if Massachusetts wanted to drop its own boat taxes and become like Rhode Island, would liberals like Kerry support it? UNLIKELY
