The last time Hatteras took it on the chin like this was when GHWB's
administration put a "luxury tax" on boats. In essence, it closed the
original Hatteras facility in High Point for good....

Um...no?

That was strictly the work of Ted Kennedy, et.al. - I remember it
well.


What we have now is a Dubya-Dick "luxury tax," part and parcel of an
administration too busy to promote sensible energy policies because the
ones we have now make their buddies rich.




If you are too busy helping your super rich friends make money off
artificially high oil prices, you don't have much time to develop a
national energy policy that makes sense for those who are not super rich.

Think about it.
