Saltwater License

[Saltheart]

There is also a proposal for a Breathing Tax. If you breath the air you must buy a license starting in 2011. It was also announced that government employees associated with the implimentation of the new saltwater fishing license will not need the new breathing license since they seldom take their heads out of their butts and therefore do not breath the air.

User fees = taxation without representation. Start adding them up because they are going to go up , up ,up. User fees are the way to tax people without getting voted out of office for raising true taxes.

I predict that someday , your whole paycheck will go to the government and you will have to file forms showing specific needs to get some money back.

I pity the children of the future.

Most of the money will go in the general fund just like the money that was won in the lawsuites against the tobbacco companies.

Take, take, take, take!!!! When do we get to keep any of our money! Doesn't this "Dingle Johnson" 10% Federal tax on all those selling fishing gear and such already cover all those costs that the sportfishing license will supposedly fund?!?!?!? Just another way for the Government to wring every last possible nickle out of our a$$!!!!

You (new englanders) keep voting in the same people who love taxing anything and everything... It will get a lot worse before it gets better.

BTW, the money isn't going to benefit fishermen, we all know it that is the biggest lie ever. Just like the tobacco payout was suppose to pay for health related and tobacco sensation issues...it went to pay to fill potholes and misc BS.
