act" declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new boat, by April 2014.

These "affordable" boats will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000 each.

This does not include taxes, trailers, towing fees, licensing and registration

fees, fuel, docking and storage fees, maintenance or repair costs.

This law has been passed, because until now, typically only wealthy and

financially responsible people have been able to purchase boats. This new

laws ensures that every American can now have an "affordable" boat of their

own, because everyone is "entitled" to a new boat. If you purchase your

boat before the end of the year, you will receive 4 "free" life jackets; not

including monthly usage fees.

In order to make sure everyone purchases an affordable boat, the costs of

owning a boat will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way,

wealthy people will pay more for something that other people don't want or

can't afford to maintain. But to be fair, people who can't afford to maintain

their boat will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can

use their parents boats to party on until they turn 27; then must purchase

their own boat.

If you already have a boat, you can keep yours (just kidding; no you

can't). If you don't want or don't need a boat, you are required to buy one

anyhow. If you refuse to buy one or can't afford one, you will be

regularly fined $800 until you purchase one or face imprisonment.

Failure to use the boat will also result in fines. People living in the

desert; ghettos; inner cities or areas with no access to lakes are not

exempt. Age, motion sickness, experience, knowledge nor lack of desire are not

acceptable excuses for not using your boat.

A government review board (that doesn't know the difference between the

port starboard or stern of a boat) will decide everything, including; when,

where, how often and for what purposes you can use your boat along with

how many people can ride your boat and determine if one is too old or healthy

enough to be able to use their boat.

They will also decide if your boat has out lived its usefulness or if you must purchase

specific accessories,(like a $500 compass) or a newer and more expensive boat.

Those that can afford yachts will be required to do so...it's only fair.

The government will also decide the name for each boat. Failure to comply with

these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.

Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a boat,

they and their families can obtain boats free, at the expense of tax payers.

Unions, bankers and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$)

are also exempt.

Since when is healthcare a luxury?

You have a great point, but I like this analogy.

Since around the time it became a right.

You like most mistake INSURANCE WITH HEALTH CARE,,,,

INSURANCE MAY BE A LUXURY,,,

nobody is denied health care,

They have to pay for the service if able. If not Medicaid is available.......

wheel,

Hell, I believe (could be mistaken) that it was usually only the working member of the family who was insured.

... it does seem odd to me that it is now considered a basic human right.

🤣

It seems odd to me that a cell phone is now considered a basic need. Makes you wonder how the settlers journeyed across the country by covered wagon without one?

Actually, if you consider common modern communication methods, there is a strong argument that a cell phone is a basic need IF (and only if) one is entertaining the idea of becoming employed. Can you imagine anyone ever getting hired without managing to speak with the hiring manager over the phone? (and yes, one can do that over land-line, assuming one has a stable place of residence. But I haven't had a land-line in 10 years).

Health insurance however, doesn't directly impact one's immediate ability to enter the workforce.

I agree.

From how I read it, the government is to ensure your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. I believe you are responsible for the rest.
