Grumpy old me


Sen. John Kerry, who has repeatedly voted to raise taxes while in Congress, dodged a whopping six-figure state tax bill on his new multimillion-dollar yacht by mooring her in Newport, R.I.

Massachusetts still collects a 6.25 percent sales tax and an annual excise tax on yachts. Sources say Isabel sold for something in the neighborhood of $7 million, meaning Kerry saved approximately $437,500 in sales tax and an annual excise tax of about $70,000.

Typical trick of the rich left wingers. Tax the rest of us and avoid paying themselves.

Kerry is especially depreciable. He inherited much and then married the rest. He has never had a job outside of government and lied about his Vietnam service.

Just the type person we want leading us.
