You'd have to ask someone who dwells in a basement, *****forbrains* .

How's your boat?

He did. Hit 20 hours yet, blowhard?



Ahh, but I don't dwell in a basement. We have...wi-fi.

What's with the 20 hours, dip****? Is that number as high as you can
count?


OK

Why don't you go out and take a picture of your hour meter Harry? Or,
you can search the net for one that has 5 or 6 hundred hours and post
that next to your picture of your owl.


I'm sorry...must have missed that photo of your boat...

One of the few disappointments I have with my outboard boat is that
the factory readouts are digital and I don't find them particularly
readable
under most lighting conditions. They look no better than an old
digital wris****ch, I think, and probably impossible to photograph.

But, at least I have a boat. You don't.

Six hundred hours? If I had that many hours on a 2008 outboard, I'd be
shopping for a new outboard boat.

Impossible to photograph or impossible to photoshop?

You only screwed up in a couple minor ways there.

Economically inferior countries in the 60's, 70's (Japan, Korea, China)
and
since were on track to industrialize - it was inevitable. In line with
that
progress, the rulers that many in this forum worship enacted trade
agreements that allow unrestricted dumping into the U.S. (many foreign
company facilities are foreign trade zones!!), while the foreign country
enacts policies that prevent importation. Japan is the most effective at
keeping U.S. (and other country's) products out - followed by Korea, then
China. China however has a different M.O.; a few products are allowed in,
counterfeits are developed and technology copied, adapted (or
counterfeited), including and U.S. patents are disregarded. Japan and
Korea
at least honor patents.

Concurrently, firms in the U.S. suddenly saw their MARKET being displaced
by
lower priced and typically somewhat inferior products. In order to
survive,
they had to 1) move overseas for lower their cost of production, or 2)
subcontract to overseas firms (often their competitors.) This is heavily
observed in the tool and die industry. 45% closure since 2000.

Yuppies may have moved their inherited investments overseas in a
nonsensical
effort for increased margins; but most moved off shore for survival.

I supplied the U.S. auto and sub supplier industries for 35 years,
machinery
and parts - that market is too small to support the firms that existed
even
20 years ago. Statistically, 37% of my industry remains in the U.S.

The market has gone away for U.S. suppliers - every major supplier has
moved
or formed JV's (often required such as in red China) . Toyota opened a
crankshaft plant in TN - bravo foxtrot delta. All fixed costs (half of
content) is Japanese, all capital machinery, most raw materials (MO is
frequently to have a Japanese company open a warehouse to store materials
from various foreign countries), management, engineering..............ever
see a blueprint (all digital now) in English???? That content is
substantial. Japanese (and Korean, German) brand autos are NOT "made" in
the U.S.

Free trade should be cross-trade, not dumping in the colony country.
People
that "think" their Toyota, Honda or whatever is "made" in Kentucky or Ohio
is simply ignorant, and rarely does anyone even attempt to help them think
clearly.

The U.S. is in the stage of attaining equilibrium with 2nd world
countries -
it is inevitable (and mostly already there) based upon the fed's
promiscuous
policies, and the ignorance of the purchasing public.


Good grief. You don't even know the definition of Yuppie.

I respect the core structure of the U.S., I resent the attitude and habits

well, no. they can make investments and get a positive ROI.

invested money is fungible. money doesn't know if it came from the
govt or private enterprise

So, you're saying that infrastructure, the military, regulations in general
are skimming off the top? You have no respect for the core structure of the
US, unless you have your way of disenfranchising our citizens of basic human

exactly. he thinks an educated public has no value

perspective, you should invest, don't work, and pay 15%! Doesn't make
sense, does it? Nope - it's YOUR premise......


and why should investment tax dollars be taxed at a lower rate than
earned income? there's no reason for this policy, especially since
it's obviously ineffective, as we can see today.

and, no, investment does not come from 'after tax' dollars. capital
gains taxes are, by definition, paid AFTER investments are made and
profits are recouped.


Stupid is as stupid does

Investment comes from retained income, from which taxes were paid - you
don't get an income that you can invest and not pay taxes except narrowly
defined "retirement accounts" - if you withdraw from those (such as 401k's
and IRA's) you take it in the ass for taxes, PLUS penalties.

Investment income is taxed at a lower rate to encourage investment, which
used to result in brick-and-mortar companies to produce products where the
masses could be managers, engineers, technicians and factory rats. If it
weren't for capital investment, you'd be growing roots in your collective
garden to survive. Investment is now punished (unless you are merely
shuffling money on bogus pieces of paper and a buddy of "the
administration"), therefore you have a diminishing income. It is actually
that simple.
