Sen. John Kerry on Monday snapped at reporters and tried to dodge questions about his new $7 million, 76-foot yacht.
On Friday, the Boston Herald reported that the Massachusetts Democrat had berthed his yacht Isabel in Rhode Island and suggested he was seeking to avoid paying about $437,000 in sales tax and an annual excise tax of around $70,000 that would be levied if he berthed the vessel in Massachusetts.
Rhode Island has no sales tax on yachts.
Following his first public appearance since the story broke, Kerry tried to dash off to his SUV but was intercepted by reporters who asked about the yacht controversy.
“Wait a minute. Let’s get this straight,” Kerry snapped. “I’ve said consistently we’ll pay our taxes. We’ve always paid our taxes. It’s not an issue, period!”

"We've always paid our taxes"? That is a lie in itself. If he had always paid his taxes, this would not be an issue. Typical politician-lie to your face and expect you to accept it as truth. We MUST rid ourselves of these incompetent criminals in November. The future of our country depends on it.
ReplyDeleteKeery is a phoney just like the rest of teh dumbocrats.
ReplyDeleteA viet Nam war hero poser, a liar to the congress back in the 70's
