Kerry docks yacht in R.I., avoids $500K in Mass. taxes

So when taxes are reduced for everybody, like in the Bush tax cuts that Congress may let expire, they are attacked by Democrats as "Tax cuts for the rich", since the rich, paying the most, also save the most with a cut.

But actually avoiding taxes, however creatively, when you are a rich Democrat, is OK.

Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

It would seem that when it comes to his own wallet, Kerry disagrees. Not illegal, certainly, but every bit of the hypocrisy and deceit that defines many modern politicians. He is not above it, and is as slimy as the rest of them.
