		<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 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 Could the reason be that the Ocean State repealed its Boat Sales and Use Tax back in 1993, making the tiny state to the south a haven &#8211; like the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Nassau &#8211; for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>
