New Law- "The Affordable Boat Act" 2014

[Tyme2fish]

Stolen from another website:

The U.S. government has just passed a new law called: "The affordable boat 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 law ensures that every American can now have a "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 cant 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 cant 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 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...its 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.

If the government can force you to buy health care, they can force you to buy a boat....or ANYTHING else..

In response to this new legislation boat manufacturers announced they will have to increase the cost of the boats by 50% to cover the costs associated with adhering to this new law. Marinas are also increasing their rates by 50-100% depending on how much you use your boat. Marine insurers are increasing their rates just because they can. Marine industry suppliers and retailers however will not be changing their prices as they are already screwing consumers enough.

Very funny Rob but it really does lend you to thinking........what is next. Seriously if the Communist in Chief and his loyal idiot minions can FORCE, yes FORCE you to buy something what can they try and do next.

Lord I am so proud I voted against Obuma twice, I lost the battle but I knew it would be bad...real bad and I and so many others were right.

I would get a laugh when libs would counter that "You're required to have auto insurance" and compare that to health insurance. HELLO!! NOT EVERYONE OWNS A CAR! To compare the two is laughable.

I,like you, agree that if the government can FORCE me to buy a product,Health Insurance, they can force me to buy anything else. And I will be forced to purchase that widget at a higher price,inferior quality, and I will provide a free widget for my deadbeat neighbor.

Dag-nabbit I tried the website....it must be down??

No doubt we are in some terrible times for this country. Crooked politicians who have fooled millions of people into thinking their way as opposed to the politicians doing right by us. Crazy liberals think all is fine and Obama is great will wake up when they have some personal skin in the game. Maybe they need a family member or friend harmed by obamacare before they wake up and push away from the koolaid nipple.

I was going to take my old boat to California to get it washed there is a group of high school cheerleaders doing a fund raiser car wash to earn money to go to a competition but the EPA won't let them because a car wash would pollute the streams.

Where do they find all these idiots?
