Kerry Got Funds From U.S. Companies Active Offshore, Post Says

Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Senator John Kerry, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, has accepted money and fundraising assistance from executives at the kind of companies he is calling traitorous for moving jobs and operations overseas to avoid taxes, the Washington Post said.

Executives and employees at such companies have contributed more than $140,000 to Kerry's presidential campaign, the Post said, citing its review of his donor records.

Two of Kerry's biggest fundraisers are top executives at investment firms that helped set up companies in the world's best- known offshore tax havens, the Post said.

Kerry responds by saying he believes ``not that people don't have the right to go overseas and form a company if they want to avoid the tax. I don't believe the American taxpayer ought to be giving them a benefit. That's what I object to. I don't object to global commerce,'' the Post said.
