LOL, that would depend on which way the wealth is being redistributed,
wouldn't it?

That "redistribution" BS should be turned upside down by the Dems,
given what I always hear about the "middle class" not even keeping up
with inflation while "the rich get richer."
But they have turned into a "wealthy" Yuppie party, and have no balls.
Their base won't get fired up or expanded as long as they have cable
TV and food on the table.
All this "redistribution of wealth" talk is pure political bull****
anyway.
Bottom line is everybody fights for economic spoils. Who wins the
fight is determined by their fighting heart, ambition, love of money,
or survival.
Used to be workers wanted better work conditions and more money
for food on the table, so they organized and raised hell. Now they
watch cable TV if they get frustrated.
But if they get hungry and can't afford cable TV, watch out.
In the end all the "redistribution" talk is pure bull****, whether
from Eisboch or Harry. Most people get exactly what they deserve.
But remember - that's just my current opinion.
I am flexible, and perfectly willing to flip-flop.

Well, I sincerely hope you flip rather than flop.

Economic Justice = Wealth distribution along racial lines. It could be
a disaster...

If you watched O'Reilly's interview of Obama last night, you know
exactly
what 'economic justice' means.

Tonight O'Reilly gets into some of Obama's 'friends' and 'pastors'.
O'Reilly is being too nice to the guy, who can answer only with a laugh.


i love it when o'reilly called a middle class tax cut
'redistributionist'. apparently it's socialism to cut taxes for the
middle class, but a fine example of meritocratic capitalism when you
do the same for the rich.

no wonder this country's screwed up


You need to change your hearing aid batteries. The redistribution O'Reilly
talked about is the redistribution Obama talks about continuously. The
middle class tax cut (which we know is bull****) would be financed by an
upper income tax increase.

If that's not redistribution, what is. Obama's answer to O'Reilly's
question was, "We can afford it." Why should those who have earned their
money give it away?


Didn't Bush give a tax cut to the 'rich' last time?
It's the working mans turn now.

Watch it, fella. IF you don't agree with the right-wing political
philosophy of rec.boats, the BORG will pretend to ignore you,

eh?

This is one of the most important faults of the left wing, semi-socialist
Obama economic theory.

A person (or persons) who go out and create something of value don't do so
at the expense of those that don't or can't.
There is no finite amount of value or wealth to be "grabbed". It is
created.

Fair taxes on that earned or created wealth is fine. But a redistribution
of wealth by government edict is not. To do so is socialism or communism,
plain and simple.

Eisboch


Just call me 'the choir', 'cause I'm a firm believer that communism,
socialism, and liberalism are getting very close to the same damn thing.

The name of the game is to keep the downtrodden dependant on handouts while
the few at the top keep the power. A great example of this is the
Netherlands. So much is now handed out that the middle class is taxed to
death.

lol!


LOL! I thought that was kind of cute.


BTW, But buddy just bought a 26 foot Harris at a bank repo. Man did he
get a good deal, too bad the 70 horse Johnson is ruined because
somebody ran some E-85 in it, but we're thinking of mounting that 115
hp Evinrude on it. The one with the barely used power head that I got
last year for a hundred bucks.


Schweeeeet!


Go for it. Sounds like a good deal. A 115 on a 26 footer doesn't seem like
overkill to me! Is this a pontoon boat or a real boat?


It's a pretty nice pontooon John that needs a bit of cleaning and some
general work work..
some people got it, abused it, blew it up then let the bank have it
back.


I'll tell you what, if I lived on a nice, quiet lake somewhere, I think I
could get used to a pontoon boat right quick. I'd have to keep the Key West
in reserve, but the idea of barbecuing my fish just minutes after it's
caught is very appealing.

Of course I'd have a BBQ on the boat!

If that is what you believe, then it would be more appropriate to call
you "the idiot."

The Brockway is the best of both worlds.. It is big enough to
comfortably BBQ, a couple of lawn chairs, and can go out in a little
rougher conditions than the pontoon in some cases.. I knew a chick
that had a nice pontoon boat down in Essex, and used to come up river
a lot, but any sign of weather sent her scurrying off home.. and she
was as much of a lifelong boater as any.. She said the pontoon was not
good in any waves..

Here it is... http://yaimkool.com/

Take out the center thwart, add some floatation and side seating, and
off you go..
