Democrats and their yachts

[evanrick]

dont you mean rich people and their yachts? this guilt by association stuff has been debunked for years.

Even for Justapixel, this is a pretty pitiful attempt to lay blame.

I would think that a true conservative would be howling about how the boat tax should be repealed everywhere.

The irony here. Wingnut Progressive Congressman Alan Grayson mocking the GOP on the House floor:

“Why don’t they just sell some stock? If they’re in really dire straits, maybe they can take some of their art collection and send it off to the auctioneer. And if they’re in deep deep trouble, maybe these unemployed can sell one of their yachts.”

I guess he didn't get the memo about his buddy John Kerry. By the way, look at his audience... One person! It's similiar to the ratings over at his second home, MSNBC.

By the way.

Did they report how many Republicans have their yachts moored at the same place?

I can't believe that only fabulously wealthy Democrats from Massachusetts have their scows tied up in New Jersey.

But no one answered the real question. Where's the outrage that any states are taxing boats? It just isn't fair....is it?

This one is worth jumping on. It reminds me a bit of the Roman Senate, where Senators were so proud in their power and privilege that they despised law. We have too much of that already.

Because the Democrats run around talking about the rich not paying their fair share and then do everything possible to pay the least taxes possible. See Gietner Timothy and Rangle Charlie for just a few off the top examples. Conservatives give much more to charity than liberals. Liberals are very generous with other peoples money just not their own.

That was definitely true, statistically, in the early Reagan years. I haven't seen recent figures, though at the end of the Clinton years the gap had closed. Recent ones would be nice; one could guess that the closing was a brief blip, or that it represented a convergence -- but while two points may make a line, they can't indicate a trend.

Data, please?

btw... I go to new hampshire to buy beer and liquor. I get friends cigarettes while I'm there. New Hampshire has no luxury taxes... they tax property heavily instead.

Bastard! You should be required to own property in New Hampshire! Damned liberal tax cheat! Pay your property taxes, deadbeat!
