I'm not sure Cpwill or Lord T are correct.
Filing a sales tax return does not necessarily mean they paid. Filing a return and actually paying are often different events. That said, Nantucket tax collector appears to be the local town tax collector where excise taxes are usually levied by the state. So it would be the state's tax collector, not the town's tax collector who receives the money. So citing that a tax authority who doesn't have authority over excise taxes as not receiving the excise tax as proof Kerry failed to pay is dishonest.
I was going by what the article stated
Paying taxes is technical? Do you think that's the way it should be?The article is poorly written. US Journalism for the masses in the fields of basically anything technical is awful.

Now that is the run on sentence of the day. Congrats.
The article is poorly written. US Journalism for the masses in the fields of basically anything technical is awful. It's hard to say from the article if he paid it or not.
Its a gift...but that was far from my longest run-on!
OK...maybe for the day...
I thought the same thing when I read the article. You're led to believe by the title that he hasn't paid, but it doesn't really say that in the text.
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.
A spokesman for the state Department of Revenue confirmed that “a sales tax return was filed” by Kerry last summer to cover state taxes that would have been owed, had he kept the Isabel in his home state’s
Do I detect typical liberal ideologues demonstrating continuously their hypocrisy in ranting against evil capitalists and then ignoring the fact that the richest of congressmen are consistently democrats and consistently dodge taxes while bitching and complaining that everyone (well...apparently everyone but rich liberals) should pay more taxes?
In a round about manner it does indicate that the tax has been paid
The article is intending to mislead casual readers into believing the tax was not paid when the entire issue is that Nantucket did not receive any money, not the state.
If the state did not receive its money I am certain we would have heard about it
I've never heard a liberal say this was something they found acceptable from liberal congressmen but not acceptable from conservative congressmen.
Lets be honest and say it like it is...You have never heard a liberal at ALL when it comes to liberal congressmen except to defend them. When liberals are as vocal about democrat politicians and their excessives as they are about evil greedy republicans they will begin to have a shred of credibility. Until then...meh...
I could say exactly the same about conservatives.
