Well, I'm in favor of those with pleasure boats of 40 feet LOA and more
paying twice or three times the pump price, with the overage going to help
the poor buy heating oil for their homes and gasoline for their cars.

As you may have guessed, I trust oil companies/refiners about as much as I
trust Cheney and Bush, which is to say, not at all. Not for anything.
I think private residences with more than one kitchen facility setup should
be taxed at a rate triple that of a single kitchen house, six times more if
the second facility is part of a home office. The overage should go to fund
homeless meals.
Personally, I think all people who have two kitchens should be taxed
as you suggest plus if they own a Parker, an additional 50% usage tax
should be added just because. :)
I actually may try to sell the Parker this year, instead of just talking
about it.

Seriously?

Will you be replacing it?


I don't know.

I don't know.

If not, you can always take up golfing and team up with your buddy John!

It's hard for me to think of another sport as boring as golf.

Does a usage tax do any good if there's no *usage*?

Good plan.

Somebody should get some use of it.

Maybe he just has no need for two good sized boats.

Isn't it interesting that once
again, at the beginning of summer, so many conspiracy theories are
running rampant.

Who will be to blame in the next administration?




What conspiracy is causing Congress under the leadership of Peolosi to have
an even lower rating than President Bush. 29%. Damn, that is hard to do.

Harry, don't buy the baloney.

If the price of crude oil dropped to $10 a bbl and if we had excess
refinery capacity
we would still see fuel prices about as high as they are.

Nobody sells a product for less than the market has demonstrated a
willingness to pay.

Like the oil company apologists keep repeating, it's a matter of
supply and demand.
They will reluctantly supply us with as much as we want as long as we
pay whatever they demand. Once again this summer we'll eclipse all
previous price records as BIGOIL continues to discover whether there's
a price point beyond which we won't buy refined products. So far, they
haven't found it.


And if we drilled ANWR until it looked like swiss cheese, we would
still be paying about the same for gas and diesel but BIGOIL would
have an additional supply of raw material.

jps' lament that he would buy a boat if he could tolerate the price of
fuel is being repeated
about 100,000 times across the country this year. Those of us who
enjoy motorized recreation (boats, RV's, light planes, etc) will be
gob-smacked with some major paradigm shifts in the next 2-3 years.



As I have stated before, the oil companies need to have citizen oversight
on their financial operations, among other controls.

Where was the tears when a few years ago, the oil companies were making 2%
on their money? One of the causes for the mergers.

You actually believe that they were making 2%?

The HK Foundation appreciates those monthly checks you send, and
promises not to tell everyone about the *five illegitimate children
you fathered in the Carolinas during your last trip there*.
What?? Didn't think our Tom had it in him! Good show.
The puppy speaks!

Speaking about a puppy............... you sure do like sniffing around
my butt.
That's an odd response, Don. Did you read it before you clicked "send"?

You should have before you replied. Comprehension is easier when stone
cold sober.

Is this another "OOPS" moment, Don? Are you confusing me with someone
else again?

Not likely.. no one else comes close to resembling your profile or antics.
