I guess if I look at all the statistics, median income/home value, net
assets, etc, I'd come out well above the average. I never minded the
fact that I pay a little more property tax than those that aren't able
to live in as nice an area as I do. I wouldn't trade places with
them.

And there
will still be property taxes even with a flat income tax.

Well, yeah. Can you come up with a reasonable argument why there
shouldn't be?

What extra
services do I get for my $135 / year property tax on my boat, than the $12 /
year property tax boat guy? Say we both own 21' boats, mine is just more
expensive.

Wow, life is just really, really unfair, isn't it? Nobody's there to
stop you from getting the same boat as the guy that pays the $12.

I see you are logic challenged. The argument by DSK is the higher income
person receives more from Government than the poor person. I ask again,
what more services do I get for my $135 vs. the guy that pays $12?

No, but I decided to invoke the sub-thread rule where-by one is
allowed to deviate from posters initial intent if said poster heaps
pity on himself to the point of having no self respect. Your pitiful
whining about your situation forced me to action.

Since we're determining just what can be discussed in a thread, and
sub-thread, go back to the original post. It was about how the
republicans have run the budget, and deficit, to the limit. How does
your $135 boat registration vs the other guys $12 boat registration
relate to the republican tendency towards borrow and spend fiscal
policy?

I'd really need a whole lot more information out of you about why the
other guys registration is $12 and yours in $135, what that money goes
to pay for, etc.

I'll guess there's nothing keeping you from buying that guys boat that
gets away with paying $12, so you have an easy option for saving the
$123 that seems to pain you so.

Still avoiding the questions I see. As to the $12 vs. $135. We are taxed
in the value of the boat. Same as our houses. Do we in more expensive
houses or boats get 11 times the services of the other? As to the
Republicans running the debt to the limit. Same as the Democrats have done
numerous times. You think the Debt limit has always been 8 Trillion $$$. I
think these Congress is just as forked as most of the others we have had
since the early 1970's and probably before. Base Line budgeting, instituted
during the Carter years of 17% inflation, has been a crime against all the
people in this country. Probably the poor more than the rich. As inflation
is a nasty tax, that hits food, and necessities probably harder than luxury
items. You have to buy necessities!
