I vote for substantial tax increases for the wealthy.

If you want to pay more, then go right ahead and send an extra $20k to the
IRS in April. I'm sure they'd be happy to keep it.

To be sure. But I'm not one of the "wealthy."


Your vast estate, Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat, 28' Parker and the rest of
your Global Crossing bounty. Oh, and let's not forget your union pension.
Surely you are in the top 10% of wage earners.

JimH,
Harry's eyes were tearing with joy when he saw this thread. He knew it
would be a long and heated debate where everyone could call everyone lots of
names.

Nice job, DB.

Fire up a political discussion with a veiled reference to boating.

Gee, under this program, I could post, "Do you suppose that if GWB
succeeds in running the deficit up to the point where it tanks the
whole economy or creates hyper inflation that it will affect boating?"
I don't know that such a phony ruse really cuts it. We could get a
whole squad of folks arguing that its OK to start 10 threads a day
ragging on some individual poster or another because "I based my
insults on his choice of boat, lack of boat, or etc......"

Notice the results? We've got posts yakking on about Harry this, Harry
that. We've got posts in here from people who *never* participate in
boating discussions, and none of them are positive or constructive.
We've got a few guys who have struggled mightily to help change the
tone of the NG from what it has been to what it can improve to become
who are unable to resist the bait and are slipping back into their old
ways- right here in this thread.

The sad thing is- when you fire up a political discussion in this group
you don't even get a decent political discussion. You see the same
dozen guys calling one another childish names and cut 'n pasting
propaganda from one side or the other.

Here's a link to a whole batch of political newsgroups:

Why not check them out?

Sorry Chuck:

You see I got bored when they drifted away from deductions for boats.
I do notice that most people agree on eliminating tax deductions for
boat laons and second homes. That is interesting and pertinent.

And he was right. Jeeeeesh! Some people either won't learn or can't learn. Haven't
figured out which yet.
