The media has been feeding us a non-stop parade of Democrats to stress the importance of the entitlement-funding class warfare they attempt to disguise as a tax increase.
For this purpose, Meet the Press host David Gregory brought on John Kerry.
Kerry is the last person who should be lecturing the American people on paying taxes, considering his embarrassing episode from July of this year when he got caught weaseling out of $500,000 in taxes on his new $7,000,000 yacht. To avoid his home state’s taxes, Kerry docked his new toy in neighboring Rhode Island. The ensuing public relations debacle caused Kerry to snap at reporters who questioned the dodge, and in the end, release a statement claiming he would dock in Massachusetts and pay his taxes. In other words, the light went on, the cockroach scurried. (Side note: According to many news sources, Kerry still hasn’t paid this tax. Gee, who’d have figured?)
Without a hint of irony this is the man David Gregory chose to lecture us on paying taxes.
And without a hint of journalistic integrity Gregory failed to ask Kerry about why he felt qualified to do so after getting busted avoiding his own.
Be sure to tune in next week, when David will welcome Bill Clinton to preach about the sanctity of marriage and monogamy.

This. is. disgusting...
Socialists disgust me...
John Effin' Kerry is your classic "do as I say, not as I do" leftist hack. He may be the most self important gasbag on Capital Hill. Sad thing is, he was'nt even the worst Senator from MA until Ted Kennedy kicked the bucket. BTW, congratulations to Ted Kennedy for 15 months clean & sober.
I'm just waiting on the Donk taxpaying seminars, featuring Timmy Geithner as keynote speaker, and numerous other lib politicians who exploit the system to avoid paying their taxes.
It is hard paying taxes every April knowing that the people in charge feel free to duck the responsibility and still get into office.
I wonder if Timmy Geithner gets nervous this time of year when a copy of Turbo Tax lands in his mailbox? He blamed TTax for his problematic tax returns. So I'm smarter than the Treasury Secretary (like that's a big accomplishment).
As of two weeks ago, Kerry had not lived up to his promise of paying his yacht tax in Mass. Like most elite donks, he thought just the promise would work. Sadly for the propaganda arm of the DNC it does/has.
