not so fast - sKerry ain't the one paying
Kerry's Second Wife's First Husband's Trust Fund to Pay Taxes on Luxury
Yacht
He was against paying taxes before he was for them.Sen. John Kerry has told
the Massachusetts Department of Revenue he will pay taxes to Massachusetts on
his new $7 million yacht even though the vessel is based in tax-free Rhode
Island.
In a statement Tuesday to The Associated Press, the Democrat said, "The payment
is being made promptly."
The 2004 Democratic presidential nominee has been dogged by charges of tax
evasion since last week, when the Boston Herald first reported about his
decision to dock the 76-foot sloop Isabel in Newport, R.I. Doing so spared
Kerry a $437,500 one-times sales tax charge in Massachusetts, as well as about
$70,000 in annual excise taxes.
In his statement, Kerry says, "Whether owed or not, we intend to pay the
equivalent taxes as if the boat's home-port were currently in
Massachusetts."Please. If he didn't legitimately owe the tax he'd still have
his wife cut a check? Who's he kidding?

Kinda makes you wonder just why Kerry paying these taxes should make the
breaking news alert. Why shouldn't he pay the taxes. Unbelievable.
