		<description><![CDATA[ **Written by Doug Powers Several reporters caught up to John Kerry and asked him about keeping his newest yacht in Rhode Island instead of Massachusetts &#8212; a move that just by happenstance allows Thurston and Lovey to avoid a $500,000 Bay State luxury tax. Kerry&#8217;s claim is that the boat is in Rhode Island for repair work. Everybody who&#8217;s ever been to Nantucket, Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, Cape Cod and the general Boston area knows there&#8217;s a tremendous shortage of businesses that perform boat repair: For the record, Kerry shouldn&#8217;t just fess up and pay the extra Massachusetts tax. Kerry should admit that the exorbitantly high taxation he helps promote chases people away to other states &#8212; states bright enough to realize that lower taxes collected from more taxpayers, including wealthy out-of-staters like John Kerry who are running from the results of their own policies &#8212; is a boon to private businesses not to mention the government coffers. If Massachusetts luxury taxes were, say, half of what they are, not only would the state have a quarter-million or so in luxury tax money, but an in-state company would be performing the alleged repair work on Kerry&#8217;s boat and paying taxes on that income to Massachusetts instead of Rhode Island. John Kerry is swift-boating his own state. (h/t Dittos Rush ) **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ **Written by Doug Powers The president&#8217;s family is feeling a hit like most Americans these days : He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone &#8220;up and down&#8221; with the stock market. Obama says the first couple is &#8220;not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.&#8221; Not far removed, but far enough so that the First Lady can reserve 30 rooms at a five-star hotel in Spain next month : Michelle Obama has reserved about 30 rooms for herself and her daughter, their friends and bodyguards at a five-star hotel in Benahavis near Marbella, hotel sources said. Not far removed, but far enough to spend ten days on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard next month : WASHINGTON &#8212; President Barack Obama is taking his family back to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, Mass., for summer vacation next month. The White House announced the vacation plans on Friday, one day after disclosing that the Obamas would overnight somewhere along Florida&#8217;s oil-threatened Gulf Coast on the weekend of Aug. 14. The Obamas are scheduled to arrive on the Massachusetts island on Aug. 19 and return to the White House on Aug. 29. Bo Obama is scheduled to arrive on Bark Force One shortly after the rest of the family. Somebody please tell the president that if he wants a ride on Massachusetts Senator John Kerry&#8217;s new $7 million yacht, he&#8217;ll have to go to Rhode Island . Last year, the president called on all Americans to buckle down, give up some things and share in the misery until we get through this financial mess. Can you imagine the scale of the vacations if the Obamas weren&#8217;t chipping in their share of sacrifice like the rest of us? Now if you&#8217;ll excuse me, I have to go shoe my polo pony.

		<description><![CDATA[ **Written by Doug Powers John Kerry, who fights on behalf of the little people on whose backs the rich get richer by avoiding taxes most Americans can&#8217;t afford to dodge, is seeing to it that the little people aren&#8217;t burdened by an extra $500k in his home state&#8217;s tax coffers. From the Boston Herald : 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. Isabel &#8211; Kerry’s luxe, 76-foot New Zealand-built Friendship sloop with an Edwardian-style, glossy varnished teak interior, two VIP main cabins and a pilothouse fitted with a wet bar and cold wine storage &#8211; was designed by Rhode Island boat designer Ted Fontaine. But instead of berthing the vessel in Nantucket, where the senator summers with the missus, Teresa Heinz, Isabel’s hailing port is listed as “Newport” on her stern. Could the reason be that the Ocean State repealed its Boat Sales and Use Tax back in 1993, making the tiny state to the south a haven &#8211; like the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Nassau &#8211; for tax-skirting luxury yacht owners? Cash-strapped 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. John Kerry said this in February of 2009: If you put a tax cut into the hands of a business or family, there&#8217;s no guarantee that they&#8217;re going to invest that or invest it in America. The $7 million dollar yacht on which the Kerrys avoided a heavy &#8220;sails tax&#8221; hit in their home state was constructed in New Zealand , so Kerry really went out of his way to prove himself correct. Update: Just because it fits so well, here&#8217;s Rep. Alan Grayson mocking the GOP for their &#8220;yachts and art collections.&#8221; Um, yeah, darn those Republicans and their yachts. **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ **Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers I wish Scott Brown wouldn&#8217;t feel the need to ask himself &#8220;what would Teddy do&#8221; before deciding how to vote. Brown is saying he&#8217;ll go along with the Democrats on the Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill : Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown said on Monday that he will support the financial regulation overhaul, becoming one of the Republicans needed to moved one of the Obama administration&#8217;s key pieces of legislation into law. Brown had announced that he would oppose the compromise bill that had been negotiated by the House and Senate, but shifted his support after bargainers went back to the table and restructured about $19 billion in payments that was opposed by banks in Brown&#8217;s state. A final Senate vote could come this week. &#8220;I appreciate the efforts to improve the bill, especially the removal of the $19-billion bank tax. As a result, it is a better bill than it was when this whole process started. While it isn&#8217;t perfect, I expect to support the bill when it comes up for a vote,&#8221; Brown said in a prepared statement. Brown joined Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as two crucial Republican votes for the legislation. I knew we were in trouble when Brown started bicycling with John Kerry . Fittingly enough, Brown was against Dodd-Frank before he was for it. Francois has taught his student well. This is the same bill about which Chris Dodd, one of its authors, said “No one will know until this is actually in place how it works.&#8221; We have to pass it so we know how it works? I want to get these slimy jerkweeds on an airplane, lock them in, tell them the plane was manufactured by a bunch of guys with a history of shady dealings and zero experience in aeronautics, tell them “nobody knows if this will work until we’re airborne” and see how many of these worms wet themselves when the plane starts taxiing down the runway. Chris Dodd and Barney Frank — two of the many reasons we’re in such financial trouble — are also the architects of the effort to “fix” the problem. “Hope &#038; Change!” Thanks for going along with it, Senator Brown, but it&#8217;s nothing that Marcia Coakley, or Ted Kennedy for that matter, couldn&#8217;t or wouldn&#8217;t have done. **Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe ]]></description>
