How does John Kerry justify choosing a foreign yard....?

How does John Kerry justify choosing a foreign yard to build his newest multimillion dollar mega-yacht, when there are idle shipyards in New England?

The construction of this vessel produced dozens of highly paid craftsman's jobs - in New Zealand. Why not have it built in his own State of Mass?

And since he's elected to represent the interests of the people of MA, how does he justify using a loophole in the law to avoid paying MA tax on it?

Finally, with thousands of people unemployed in the US, how does he justify using a foreign crew, and using yet another loophole to get around the Jones Act ban on using foreign crews when chartering a vessel out of a US port?

    John is just being John, I'd want a yacht too if I were married to Igors identical twin. To sail far, far away. Oh, I keep reading about some dude named Barry, is Barry some sort of poster child for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance?

    He is a typical politician, Like most of them he is above the law. He does what he wants, where he wants, and when he wants. The whole time snubbing his nose at the People of the U.S. Have you ever noticed that all our politicians with the exception of a few are attorneys. They write the laws including the loopholes to cover their asses and their attorney friends in Washington cover for them. And you wonder why we are in the mess we are in.

    John Kerry is better than us sir! American made products are fine for urchins like you and I, but Lord Kerry can't have lowly American citizens building anything his royal @ss touches! He and the ketchup princess may wave to you or throw you a crust of bread from their yacht one day so cheer up!
