Glad you're catching on.Yes JK is an ****....along with the rest of DC's elite.

I didnt even know he had a boat...

You and I would have done the same thing. Excise Tax is not but rip off citizens from their money. I am happy to pay me federal and state tax; but excise tax pisses me off.

To those who don't have excise or property tax in their state, it is a tax you pay on everything you own with value on annual bases; just like your real estate property tax. So, every year you pay taxes on you cars, bikes, boats, yachts, etc. This is in addition to the original sales tax.

Yes, another one of those taxes to "punish the rich" and redistribute wealth. As it turns out, Ketchup Kerry doesn't like it either. But it's OK for you and I. You'd probably faint if you knew how much tax his benfactor/wife skips out on in a year.

^ Not surprised but I wouldn't go as far as to call Kerry an ahole. Afterall, unlike our previous wannabee Rambo warrior who paraded around in military gear talking tough & declaring "mission accomplished" with an erection, Kerry DID see action and earned a Purple Heart. He's got the rice kernel scars on his ass to prove it!

Funny how the same people that pass additional taxes onto us decide they themselves don't have an obligation to pay them.

When you allege Kerry's "skips out on taxes" do you mean" 1) Refusing/failing to pay taxes; or just 2) following good advice and minimizing the taxes she pays? Big difference between the two.

SWIFT BOAT OUTRAGE!!

I just moved from Missouri to Florida,

No more state income tax, no city tax, and no personal property tax. Guess I'm a tax cheat too!!!! Can't really blame anyone who wants to limit tax liability legally

Did he admit he "skipped it" or moved the item in question/he owes the tax on/to a different state(that doesn't have that tax) where he owns one of his bazillion houses.

or

like rfenst asks...was it sound tax advice...

or

did he blame it on a "TurboTax Program" like that douche bag Tim Litener(name?Obama's house boyeeeeeeee)??

OK!

then i nominate charlie rangel for ass hole.

I nominate Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and Barney Franks and Tim Geitner and Rod Blagoevich and Jim Baker (Evangelist)and Al Franken and Lindsey Graham!

rfenst,

There is a big difference between a working stiff trying to avoid taxes, and a politician of his stature trying to avoid taxes.

Let me know which part you don't understand and I'll be happy to explain it.

I am SHOCKED he would avoid taxes while voting to raise them for the little people!

Shocked!!!!!!!

But, like a good mindless sheep, I will vote to re-elect him in November. He knows best how to run my life.

^ You mean "Ruin My Life " !

#14- Unfortunately, we can't have two sets of laws, TG.

However, what we CAN have is a scaled/escalating income tax with few if any looholes so that these rich, outsourcing, scum suckers can feel the pinch like everyone else.

He had help, He's not smart enough to have thought this out himself.

Another?

He's always been an ****.

Not like he woke up yesterday and decided he was going to alter his behavior.

The guy is one big pompous ****.

17:

Bloody,

I'm not advocating two sets of laws.

I'm just pointing out that it's far worse for a politician to use loop holes to avoid paying taxes.

The saddest part of all:

He will likely get re-elected by a wide margin when his current term is over.
