Say what?
Our gas is 96 cents a liter right now. How could we be paying a buck a liter taxes?
Income tax of 50 per cent? You'd have to make a pretty good income to
pay that much. I've paid income tax all my life and never paid that.


Last trip to BC. Was $1.19 a liter. Add up your taxes, and see what the
percentage is. Sorry, meant a buck a gallon. 3.7 liters per gallon. So
close to $3.60 a gallon. Probably $2.40 a gallon for US average. Your
income is on the low end., so expect low tax rates on your income

Low end? What would you consider "low end" Swill?


Your income. You are a retired janitor. How much did you make a year?
How much is your pension? How much did you save? You only look at cheap
boats, not what you would really like. Impressed with a person you can
crew on with a 30' boat. I was a professional Silicon Valley engineer.
Most likely a 5x factor salary of a janitor at least. Stock options, not
granted to a janitor. They are easy to hire. A good engineer? Much
harder to hire. Companies compete on salary, benefits, options, and how
interesting the job is. I turned down a job at Sandisk, for a biomedical
engineering job, as it was more interesting, then doing the firmware for a
SCSI interface memory chip.

Bilious, obviously, you were a regular Steve Wozniak, except he isn't an
ignorant asshole, like you are. And he is talented...and
interesting...and not a functional illiterate.

Wow...a "professional Silicon Valley engineer..." Golly gee. Gosh. Is
that what your business card said?

1.82per gal in Effingham IL today. And that's whith gobs of taxes applied per gal. too



And not only that, but Effingham has an ugly steel cross that its
sponsors believe is one of the "largest" in the United States, 198 feet
tall, making the town a "must see" for, well, I suppose, cross lovers
looking for cheap gasoline.

There isn't much room to store a decent size boat on a 4000sf lot
along with his house, a car, and a couple of out houses. You've
heard him complain about how difficult it is to place his little
boat in storage.
