Friendly Reminder for Sen. Kerry
**Written by Doug Powers
I realize we’re in a period of know-nothingism and us inattentive dopes out here in Kornfield Kounty just gave an old-school beatdown to John Kerry’s liberal vision for an America everyone has to live in except the elite hypocrites who designed it, but is it too much to ask that he let go of the bitterness long enough to crack open his wife’s checkbook and settle a tax debt he promised to pay over three months ago?
It’s been more than three months since we first told you about Capt. John Kerry’s high-seas tax dodge on his new $7 million yacht, Isabel, and the town of Nantucket still doesn’t have a check from the senior senator!
You may recall that Kerry lowered the flag and surrendered in July, agreeing to pony up more than $400,000 to cover state taxes on the toney tub. Mr. Teresa Heinz broke out the checkbook four days after the Track set off a furious tempest with our report that he had purchased the 76-foot floating palace and ported her in Rhode Island, thus depriving the commonwealth of its pound of flesh.
[...]
Kerry’s flack Jodi Seth told us the senator hasn’t paid because he hasn’t received a bill.
Back in July it didn’t sound as if Kerry was going to wait to be billed:
“We’ve reached out to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and made clear that, whether owed or not, we intend to pay the equivalent taxes as if the boat’s home port were currently in Massachusetts,” Kerry said. “That payment is being made promptly.”
That’s using the definition of “Prompt” from the political, not standard, dictionary:
prompt
–adjective
1. A promise done, performed, delivered, etc., at once or without delay only after somebody calls you on it a second or maybe third time.
2. see #1.

Can we keelhaul him?
He’s trying to ketch-up.
Oooh, a three way pun….
If only we can be so late in paying our “fair share.” Is this what the White House meant when they said paying more was the responsible thing to do?
Pompous, arrogant, self-centered, do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do snob!
Patrician Bastard!
“Taxes for thee, but not for me…”
Actually he was hoping everyone would forget about it and move to something else.
Nice try Lurch.
This is fair. I don’t pay property taxes until I get my bill. If the gov’t doesn’t send me a tax bill, then I don’t owe a tax. I’m not talking about things like sales taxes; those aren’t due until purchase so no bill could possibly be sent.
In this case, I’ll agree with John F’ng Kerry; send me a bill and I’ll pay it.
But taxes are for little people. Lurch is in the clear.

Gee, John F’n Kerry – why the long face? Something got you sad?!?
PAY YOUR TAXES.
Off topic, but had to share, this just in from PJM, Olberman has been indefinitley suspended. http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/keith-olbermann-suspended-indefinitely-without-pay/
It’s not just the stupid soldiers anymore. I for one, am proud to be lumped in with those lugheads! Thanks John

Perfect liberal logic.
Depending of course on what the meaning of “is” is.
Liberals need to be reminded from time to time, that the U.S. Tax Code doesn’t prohibit the voluntary contribution of taxes in exces of one’s liability… a donation to the national treasury, if you will. And, it doesn’t prohibit the taxpayer to claim deductions, either.
Real “patriots” shouldn’t think twice about paying more of their fair share…at least that’s what our progressive friends think.
I have often wondered why the liberalist taxpayers don’t just pony up more taxes, voluntary, of course?
I would also like to see all of the deductions that they take so that they DON’T pay taxes.
$7m yacht? How much do they give to the needy (and I am sure I do not mean the boat builders overseas).

Silly Rabbit! Liberals only use Other People’s money for taxes. Or for their brand of “charity” dinero–send the very best–Taxpayer Money!

That’s funny. I was just wondering on another thread if he had taken care of that yet!
He just thinks we are too stupid to notice. Sorry, fool…but we are awake and watching you!!
Buys a boat made by a foreign manufacturer (I guess American boat builders weren’t up to his high standards) and moors it out of state to avoid the taxes Massachusetts deems fair.
What next? Will the crew be composed of illegal aliens?
He’s waiting for the statute of limitations to run out on the tax bill.
There is also the matter of another promise Frenchy made a few years ago – something to the effect he would “immediately” release ALL of his medical and award records from Vietnam.
We’re still waiting on that too, you traitorous POS.
I’m with you, Glock…what say we start, then take a union-mandated coffee break halfway through the job?
Since it hasn’t been prompt in any sense of the word, are their any penalties, interest or late charges?
Maybe he paid them to Cambodia?
or the check is in the same location as his military records.
The effin check is in the mail!
Liar. Why not say “I paid the bill”? Because he has no intentions of doing so if he can get out of it or until he is forced to do so.
You know how much Kerry lies.He’s probably received the bill already.
OH come on, you really didn’t expect him to pay did you?…get real people….
LOL!
Ditto Republicanvet, ditto.
