"The resource is too important to be a source of pocket change for fence-jumping recs."
fence jumpers? that is a strange way to word it. You mean kinda like scabs
I guess it's a fight to see who gets a piece of the pie and Nebe wants it all the recs' I don't agree with that either but that is a whole nother subject.
I agree the resource of all fish is important, I don't think the law should have anything to do with how an individual chooses to make a living whether it is 2,5,or 10 part time jobs or one full time job. That seems unconstitutional to me if the gov't is to pass that type of ruling/law or whatever. I know it is your opinion in the editorial but my opinion is that, that is not the way it should be changed to

I have friends that would agree with that but I can't see myself ever with going along with that idea. For another thing, how would you prove ones income percentage? seems to me it would just promote a lot of under the table money making to reduce reported income. The IRS will not be happy about that. Also, it is a resource of the entire country so how is it possible to discriminate how someone chooses to make their living? Last I checked we live in a free country, I can't see going backwards in time. I also don't think the price of fish needs to be any higher, it's high enough in the stores as it is, a person making 10-15 bucks an hour can't even afford 10 dollar a pound fish as it is,that's like a luxury. Maybe we need more fish farming, who knows.
thanks for listening
