You wouldn't by any chance be talking about the Sahara Desert would you?

Welllll, little Darlin', here in Texas we have an opportunity to take a break from taxes...

Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 20, 21 and 22 - the state's annual tax holiday. Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.

So make a plan, sail the yacht on down to the 2nd busiest port in the nation and do some shopping.

Offer does not extend to blue nose politicians and socialists.

On another track-$400+K in sales tax? How much was the boat?

I would think the real question is... do we need a guy like that in the Senate?

We've had no tax days in Georgia for several years. Not this year, though. Boo! It really helped families with clothing, school supplies and computers.

Taxation is worse then theft. It is theft with the full backing of the weapons of the state.

Evading thieves is not immoral, it is good sense.

It wouldn't be such a BIG DEAL if Kerry wasn't always running his mouth about the "Rich" needing to pay their share of taxes!

But it's ok as long as it's a Democrat that's cheating!

Please tell me what "Long term maintenance" needs to be done on a BRAND NEW 7 MILLION DOLLAR YACHT ?

Sen. John Kerry skips town on sails tax - BostonHerald.com

The Massachusetts newspaper says that saves him something in the neighborhood of $437,500 in sales tax.

Yikes. Remind me not to park my yacht in Massachusetts.

Spread the wealth in Massachusetts, Senator.

So you are saying that the wealthy need to pay more taxes?

Congratulations. I knew we could agree on something.
