Ahhh.. A lot of different opinions on this. I like it.
I have a lot to learn about how taxes effect our economy. Recently, I have come to realize that this is the best country in the world. We do pay a lot in taxes, much more than we would like and there is plenty of "pork barrel spending" going on... That being said, I love the fact that I can rest in peace at night. Also, I can fish freely. I'm not for new taxes, but... I think Coop summed it up nicely. We need to spend the money where it is needed.
I'm not sure how I feel about the guy who comes down twice a year... Whenever I see a beach rig without fishing equipment I wonder to myself, what are they thinking?
Let them have their hot, summer day on the sand. I'll fish at night after they leave. 8)
