Muscatine

Let me edit this so it will be easier to understand

First, I think you're one of those who think lower taxes are good, correct me if I'm wrong.

1.  Rhode Island eliminates their sales tax to make their state more business friendly.   That's good, right?

2.  The lower tax works as you say.   It attracts business, specifically Kerry, a wealthy Democrat, who buys his boat there and saves a few thousand dollars in taxes.

3.  You and your fellow travelers, because he's a wealthy Democrat, scream and holler and say he cheated Massachusets out of a bunch of money.   Massachusets could have eliminated their sales tax too to avoid this but didn't.

4.  Kerry, caves in to the screaming and hollering, and voluntarily pays Massachusets the tax that would have been due had he bought the boat in Massachusets.

5.  Because he's a wealthy Democrat, you and your fellow travelers still scream and holler.

If your other posts reflect your feelings that the rich should pony up more bucks for the govt to do more things, then why are YOU not screaming and hollering?

I'm not because I'm not from Rhode Island and will not be asked to  make up for the taxes lost because of the lost sales tax.

Is it because this would-be-tax-cheat is a lib? Me and my "fellow travelers" know perfectly well that if a Republican had tried to pull this you and your tag-alongs would be having a apoploxy in outrage. 

You know some wealthy Republicans took advantage of this tax law too.   It would defy logic to believe otherwise.   Probably more of them than Democrats simply because they tend to be wealthier.

I have't heard a peep about them from  left or right and I am personally not suffering from apoplexy.

No, it was because Kerry is a Democratic Senator.
