new lib stragety, rename conservatives

[sck5]

"the difference is a lib would say anyone over a 25 foot boat should have to pay an extra 5 bucks per foot on anything over 25 foot for registration. mine costs me 26 bucks in maryland for a 27 footer. that would make it 36 bucks, ie 10 bucks extra, a 35 footer would have to pay an extra 50 bucks. this money would distributed to those who have a boat under 25 so they can get a bigger one. then after the boat got over 35 foot they would want 10 extra per foot, so a forty footer would be the extra 50 for the first 10 feet then another 50 for the other 5 feet at 10 per foot. so a 40 foot boat would cost 126 to register it."

Well, my boat is 35 ft. long and Maryland wanted one hell of a lot more than $126 when I bought it. With any luck they are using all that money to improve Chesapeake Bay. At least I hope so.

craig and sck ( you know this sck ) we pay 5% tax when we buy the boat and 26 a year for stickers

but if you were a greedy conservative, you would just go an buy a boat large enough to be U. S. customs documented, and evade those pesky expenses. you may soon have to apply to the world union for documentation papers, though.
those miserable libs just can't comprehend one of the biggest truths in life. that is happiness is not having what you want, it's wanting what you have.
they think that happiness is wanting what we have, not what they already have...............

Nah...the state is run by Dems. They just take yer $$ and spread it around. Then let the Baltimore sewers overflow on every big rainfall....

If I was a real conservative, I would make millions off the sweat of my worker bees and then have them row my damn yacht while I picked out the best ones for the harem.

I would then tell them to be eternally grateful to me for creating the boat and the job rowing it. I would, of course, fire them if they made on complaint about having to row harder. And dang if they would get a free ride home after being fired - it's over the side they go, cause I don't want to have to give them any free ride. Besides, if they are dead I won't have to pay as many taxes.

Ode to a Conservative....just kidding folks, of course.
One of my good friends is over today who is an admitted conservative and republican. He things Reagan was one of the best Presidents of all time. We went to dinner and have be BSing for hours. Guess what? We agree on just about everything (except Reagan, but he didn't ask).

He is a businessman, head Rotarian and all that other stuff. And, as I said, a staunch conservative. Of course, he doesn't even have cable TV so he has no idea of all those people that you folks watch every day. Instead, he educates himself by listening to interviews and such on satellite radio while making sales calls.

As he went to bed (he's staying over), he said "liberal, conservative - I don't care - practical people will always see what is going on".

Oh, he thinks we are in a health care crisis and think people are completely crazy for thinking that Wall Street and the greedy corporations don't need LOTS of additional regulation. He just shakes his head about that.

ss, if you are enjoying life then more power to you! Life is not all about happiness, it is about learning and helping people as well as advancing your own inner peace. I cannot measure my happiness against that of others. I can simply say that I have no regrets....and I am pleased to be able to say that after raising three kids and going through many life experiences. May your life be as interesting and more.

I never wish anyone anything other than great success since I don't believe anyone gets ahead on the ills of another.

nope maryland requires stickers for documented boats too, granted its only 10 bucks, but the yearly is 26, so a whopping 16 bucks saved.

edit documented boats also have to pay "excise tax" too 5 % of the value of the boat, and you better go in with a notarized bill of sale or they max it out in the book price. they said i had to pay tax on 13 grand for a 1983 hunter 27.

scotty t is right . I had to go back to the PO to get notarized paperwork to avoid paying a ridiculous tax. And some free advice = DONT EVER LOSE ANY OF THE PAPERS THEY GIVE YOU. If I move my boat to another state, many of them will give a credit for tax already paid to another state. But not if you cant prove it with official papers.

[ssneade]

sorry scotty, sold my workboat in 86, when i moved to ga. weren't any such thing as a sticker for documented vessels back then, although the fee for a crabbing an oyster license had jumped high as a girraffes ass. guess the government will do anything for a buck these days. glad i left md before the millionare tax kicked in. lol..............

I forgot. Does that make one eligible to serve in the current admin, or ineligible?

if life isn't all about happiness, then what's the point of having one? helping others makes me happy. it gives me a serenity libs wouldn't understand. however, currently i can choose by my own convictions who i am able to help. i will not help those who will not do for themselves, don't believe they should be helped. i cannot be happy when the government holds a gun to my head and says i have to give to ne'erdowells and to those who enter our country illegally. where's the happiness there?

so us worker bees will just have to row harder to make up for the laziness of some others, and hope we don't get thrown overboard for not pulling their load too..........

we're right. you're what's left!
