Taxes for Thee; But Not for Me - John Kerry's Yacht

[Procrustes Stretched]

and some fool like you has went over the edge: Candidate for state treasurer Karyn Polito said in a statement that an investigation to should be undertaken:

"In the interest of fairness to all taxpayers, and in order to collect the revenue it may be owed, the state Department of Revenue should undertake an immediate investigation of whether Senator Kerry sought to avoid the payment of Massachusetts sales and excise taxes in the purchase of his boat, 'Isabel.' No person is above the law. For people to have confidence that the law is being applied equally, they need to be reassured that Senator Kerry is not receiving favorable treatment."

---

how the fuck could this be considered receiving favorable treatment? is this polito woman a tea party whacko?

i'd say no

For example, Karyn has been a leading advocate in this state for the passage of Jessica's Law, a bill which would establish tough mandatory minimum sentences for child sex offenders. Her advocacy paid off in 2008, when she was able to convince her Democratic colleagues to pass tougher sentencing legislation and to require District Attorneys to file more comprehensive reports about child sex offenses in Massachusetts.

The more you "tax the rich", the harder their accountants fight to avoid those taxes...

110% accurate. The crux is, does it hurt the Nation or help it.....these "maneuvers"

It shines a light on the folly known as "taxing the rich"...

Well, not really. In-that - - if you presume that the Rich are so savy as to have-been maneuvering "around" these taxes, how can you substantively show that these taxes do not help a nation if "fool proofed?"

And don't worry, I don't think that that's possible.

when Kerry votes to raise taxes he votes to raise his own.

he and his wife, unlike conservative wealthy types, do not mind paying more. this is a bogus issue, because it skirts the fact that Kerry votes to raise his own taxes.

A Kerry spokesman said the boat is being kept at Newport Shipyard not to evade taxes, but for "long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes."

“The boat was designed by and purchased from a company in Rhode Island, and it’s based in Newport at the Newport Shipyard for long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes, not tax reasons.”

Polito is her name, and politics is her game.

She is Karyn Polito, a 43-year-old married mother of two from Shrewsbury who is running for state treasurer. She is a lawyer and a businesswoman. She is a member of the Massachusetts Legislature.

She is also a Republican and, as such, is a long-shot candidate for the job in a heavily Democratic state, but so was Scott Brown, and everybody saw what he accomplished.

Polito has attended tea-party rallies and is something of a kindred spirit.

Yes, really...

"Let's tax the rich" sounds good to the unwashed masses during election season, but the rich can afford to pay to avoid more and more taxes...

I suppose you can say it helps line the pockets of the CPA's if you want... But, hell - they're rich too, aren't they?....
