But if some aspiring governmebt worker figures out how to tax the wind...



Gotcha covered in South Carolina. We have "personal property tax" on all
boats, even my 9.6' Watertender someone on the dock gave me. The STATE
bill for its license numbers just came in the mail, again.

Luckily, its engine is under 5hp, putting it under the tax radar here.
It's a Yamaha 3.

I pay more PP tax on the dingy than I do on my old Mercedes because the
dingy is a 2000 model.

I've a mind to take THEIR boat down and just park it on the goddamned
county's front stoop....I only used it twice this year and it's simply not
worth it. My neighbor's kids used it for a kiddie pool more than I used it
for a boat!

Makes a great kiddie pool....(c;
