Some Things Are Just Funny

There are a couple of reasons this is funny. The first is that it is an issue at all. Exactly why shouldn't Kerry do whatever he can to minimize his tax exposure? Then there is the question of why such huge taxes as Massachusetts changes make any sense at all. Let's question the politics of greed and envy that moves so much of the political base. If Kerry owns a seven million dollar yacht why should he have to pay almost confiscatory taxes on it? That's an outrage. Then why should he be hounded by idiot talking heads with cameras when he does something reasonable like berth it where he won't be exposed to the unfair taxes. Of course Kerry is a bit of a hypocrite but that's no reason he should be any more subject to government tax rape than the next guy. If hypocrisy was a crime we'd have to indict the whole Congress and the president.
