Outrage of the Day: Tax on Yacht Magazine

World renowned conservative editorialist and all around super-genius Don Surber brought to my attention this atrocity.

TALLAHASSEE — Buyers of yachts and private airplanes in Florida would be spared from paying the full 6 percent sales tax on their purchases. But magazine subscribers would now start paying taxes.

Mr. Don Surber is rightfully right in thinking that the tax cap is coercing the rich in Florida to keep their boats there and pay some sales tax. The rich should not be hoodwinked into this liberal plot. Rich people should have the freedom to keep their yachts and planes in other states where they don't have to pay sales taxes because that brings jobs. Trickle-down economics is proven every day!

And on top of that, it's hurting magazine subscribers now too! I've been getting Yachting Magazine free in the mail for 2 years, but now I'm going to have to pay a tax to keep getting it?!? That's pure taxation without representation.

Florida Legislature

Our right-thinking legislature down here is hard at work saving the policies of the late great Bush era. Texas don't have nothin' on us.

The tax break for new yacht owners is just the latest measure.

They recently pushed through an overhaul of the voting procedures and closed down the public comment forthwith. You will have to show valid ID's now - no more "low income" or "shady" people will be able pass themselves off as registered voters. Looks like Governor Crist will have to veto it though.

Developers are championed in this legislature. Even though the market is glutted with unsold homes, our delegates are forward thinking in allowing massive purchases of wetlands and farmlands for the homeowners and mall shoppers of the future. The tree hugging, progress retarding policies of the past 25 years will finally end up on the scrap heap where they belong.

After Ray Sansom, former speaker of the house, was indicted last week, it just proves that the grand jury doesn't know how things work. Rep. Kevin Ambler R-Tampa said our system of campaign contributions has "transparency." The airplane hanger for the planes of Sansom's friends will contain classrooms so what's all the fuss about.

The telephone companies will be deregulated. This has got to be good for the average Joe.

Schools will recieve less money for Godless textbooks, buses, and advanced placement classes.
