Bush and Boating
 

I have had two boats. The first one I bought when "Old Bush" was in office, and
the second one when "Young Bush" was in office. I think I'll keep voting for
Bush!

Unfortunately, people are having to give up their boats under Bush
because their wages aren't what they used to be.

I've purchased 3 boats since Bush has been President...all of 'em used. The
first one was because the original owner was moving up into a 30' Sea Ray.
The second one was because the marina where it was stored is being knocked
down to build a high rise condo. The third one was because the 84 year old
man who owned it died. None were for sale because the owner "had to give up
their boat because of lower wages".

So...are you trying to extrapolate "reality" of your your statistical
base of yourself?

No more so than jps stating "Unfortunately, people are having to give up
their boats under Bush because their wages aren't what they used to be"
without offering any facts about boat ownership declining under Bush.

I would rather trust real life stories than unsubstantiated opinions.

Try to be balanced rather than purely partisan Krause. Is that at all
possible?

I used anecdotal evidence to counter jps's claim that people have had to
give up their boats because of lower wages. Perhaps you or jps can give me
anecdotal evidence that *supports* his claim? Until then, my unscientific
claim trumps his unscientific claim.

No, ot doesn't. It's just an anecdote.

Americans' incomes fell for two years

Report: IRS data shows first-ever consecutive-year drop; loss of jobs
blamed.
July 29, 2004: 12:59 PM EDT


NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Americans' overall income shrank for two
consecutive years after stocks plunged in 2000, the first time that has
effectively happened since the current tax system was put in place
during World War II, according to a published report Thursday.

The New York Times, reporting data from the Internal Revenue Service,
said gross income reported to the agency fell 5.1 percent to $6.0
trillion in 2002, the most recent year for which data is available, down
from $6.35 trillion in 2000. Because of population growth, average
income fell even more, by 5.7 percent, and adjusted for inflation the
decline was 9.2 percent.

Think this promotes boat ownership?

Yes, we already knew that. The stock market plunge in the final year of
Clinton's second term hurt Americans' income for the next two years. Now,
where in your article does it say that people had to sell their boats?

Boat usage is down significantly here in the NW and prices are soft.

Where did you complete your econ studies, in dental school?

And you live in an area that was way overpaid with the .com debacle. Lots

not merit a billion dollar capitalization, there money was gone. And they
probably bought on the come. Most the country, did not have a huge
fluctuation of income.

Not an unreasonable observation. We are also have the highest per
capita ownership of boats in the US, if I remember properly.

I sold some of that inflated stock to purchase the boat outright.
Thought I was being stupid. Turned out to be an accidently brilliant
move looking back. Spring 2000.

I didn't enjoy paying the giant cap gains tax bill the following year,
but I swallowed hard and wrote the check.

You should go back to the Views of Kerry post, and tell the guy who
lives close to ANWR what a non-pristine place it is!!!!!!
