Senator Kerry decides to pony up $500,00 in sales tax to the State of Mass. The Associated Press: Sen. Kerry to pay Mass. tax on yacht docked in RI Before the liberals start with the Republican's did (enter tax fraud charge here), I don't blame Kerry for trying to avoid the taxes, (His wife's dead huband worked hard for the Heinz fortune). My issue is with Kerry's willingness to raise taxes for everyone who doesn't have accountants and lawyers to figure out the tax loopholes. I guess socialism is for the people not the socialists! Not one comment. Shocking!
