May my children forgive me for saying something favorable about this snake who is my (sob) senator.
This boat was designed by a Rhode Islander. Under a brilliant move by a former governor of Rhode Island, any boat PURCHASED from a Rhode Island dealer (no matter where made), then registered and home-ported in Rhode Island is free of any sales tax. This was done to counter the disaster that befell the boating industry when Bush 1 institued the “luxury tax” on boats years ago.
As a result, the boating industry and business is booming in Rhode Island, as it has attracted thousands of boaters from Mass. (me), New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and even a couple of people from New York. There are hundreds of jobs at crowded marinas, marine supply stores and support facilities.
All those boater leave in their wake, a trail of MONEY behind them, from restaurants, shops, malls, gas stations, supermarkets, and personal services.
Kerry is STILL a snake, but the sailing on Narragansett Bay is great, the waters protected, and it’s a short hop to the ocean.
Come to think of it, here is an example of the theory that a reduction of TAXES promotes as boom in economic activity. I think that governor was Sunderland.
Kerry was going to pay his taxes before he didn’t pay his taxes.
