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!

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!

Ah yes..

The Beatles.


One, two, three, four...
Hrmm!
One, two, (one, two, three, four!)

Let me tell you how it will be;
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

(if you drive a car, car;) - I'll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I'll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I'll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I'll tax your feet.

Taxman!

'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

Don't ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister heath)
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

And you're working for no one but me.

Taxman!

The latest press release from Grand Banks confirms they are now sold

underway they are sold out well into production for 2009.

Obviously, the tax rates need serious adjusting.

Nothing suggest that the buyers are from the US....... indeed, local
boat merchants, finding few local takers, are liquidating excess
inventory into other countries....

GB may be, too....



I suspect Harry is seriously reconsidering his "tax" proposal.
