It's just a hogwash story about Kerry anyway....sure, whatever....blah blah blah blah blah...thoughtless crapola you spill....guess it's easier than trying to defend the so called Christian who is the one who actually started this very thread by "pointing fingers"...eh?Lefty's wag their fingers at Christians for not helping the Poor via the State. Consider this: They voted for man to be president who moved his yacht from a location that could have yielded $500K in taxes towards the poor (John Kerry). If that was not enough, they are circling the wagons of a woman for President who tax credits for her husband's used boxers (Bill Clinton).
You leftists need to change the direction where you are wagging your finger or take your finger and shove it up your Alinsky ass.
The fact that your retort is based on "blah blah blah" says much about your inability to effectively debate. You lose.
Your premise is faulty. Tax money doesn't go exclusively to any lone purpose. But to all of them. So claiming that Kerry took money from poor people by moving his yacht is invalid.
Second, we're referring to public policy. If Kerry moves a yacht....that doesn't pull a food tax rebate from the poor. If a republican state legislature does pull a food tax rebate from the poor, it does. Equating the two is logically invalid.
Your premise fails twice.
False premise? A Republican state legislature is not wagging its finger at people to pay more taxes so people will not go hungry while floating its $7M yacht away from waters where he will not have to pay $500k to commonwealth of Massachusetts.
A Kansas Republican state legislature is cutting food tax rebates to the poorest of the poor to maintain a 0% corporate tax rate. Which has nothing to do with a yacht in Massachusetts.
Kansas republicans should rightly be criticized. Its fucking ridiculous.
So now you are going to tell US how none of that money would going to the poor had the elitist Senator kept it anchored in Massachussetts?
And what food tax rebate was cut because Kerry moved his yacht?
There is none. You're ignoring an actual example for a hopelessly hypothetical one. And then laughably equating Kansas Republicans literally increasing taxes on food for those deepest in poverty to maintain a tax cut for some of the wealthiest in the State.....with your imagination.
You really didn't think this through, did you?
Kerry purchased and had his yacht BUILT for him by a Yacht Builder in Newport (or right by it), Rhode Island. There are few yacht boat builders left in this Nation....
(this is a resort area....very, very lovely....when the hubby and I lived in Massachusetts, we went there a couple of weekends a month for different festivals they had....the company I worked for in Mass was a sponsor for Newport's Jazz Festival, and I was sent down there....that's how I discovered the place right after moving to Massachusetts....)
Anyway, Kerry kept his yacht in the town where it was made and maintenanced and under warranty at.... and where he would be using it, like most all the other rich and famous did that bought yachts from this manufacturer/ builder in New England....bringing the yacht to Boston makes no sense, when the builder, boat warranty, and the beautiful place he wanted to hang out with his yacht, were all in Newport, RI.....
