Know what really grinds my gears?

I could buy three of those low transom 21' Parker CC with the capital
gains I paid on the recent real estate transactions.

Three of them.

And my boat is smaller!

And that's not all. :}




How would you know, cue card boy?

What would you do with 3 LT Parkers? Use them for fishing reefs?

Why?

If someone has more money than Harry, they need to take it away from
them. *The same way anyone who owns a bigger boat than Harry, needs to
pay a surcharge on their fuel.

Bigger than his lobster boat?

All lobster boats are tax exempt, didn't you know that?

I can't agree.

Several people will be fed off those million $ sales.

If it gets the *ahem* "idle rich" to turn loose of the big bucks then
I'm all for it.

If you mean raised? I can't agree.

I thought that spending for goods and services was the way to boost

Well, look at it this way: If Harry's crowd had had it's way, you'd be
paying one hell of a lot more!

I'd give them away to inexperienced boaters to practice on.

They are nice in small ponds. You might be able to let the Boy Scouts
use them at their summer camps.
