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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------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.

But it is the fiscally proud state of Massachusetts that doesn't need any money, according to some here, that he cheated out of that tax money. Politicians are very good at doing things like that, especially those like some of Obama's appointments and the poor slob that is about to have to resign from the House to avoid getting tried for all his tax evasion. That is how old Charley will avoid a trial.
