Theodore's World

Seems that with what little or dim memory I still have, that once upon a time there was a luxury tax imposed on the Yacht and Luxury Boat industry, it nearly killed all the boating industry, but I just may have dreamed that one up too. I was doing some commercial long line fishing at the time and lenders wouldn't make loans on boats.....period!!!
Any tax will shift the costs to associated co-production pharmaceuticals or to totally offshore production, just as tort legislation has done to the current production of pharmaceuticals. That will force practitioners underground also. Anyone recall a recent Dr. Conrad Murray?
I spent a year making itsy bitsy pills, capsules and powdered 'health' supplements, nutraceuticals was the business term. That business is still cranking out the product but it's offshore owned and the product line along with R&D has shrunk, a fascinating workplace with the utmost of cleanliness and precision blending turned into a Chinese style production sweatshop where knowledge and skill meant nothing. Remember two things, mistakes get passed along or the business ceases to exist!!! Want some Melamine with that cereal???

Hopefully thees nitwits will tax themselves right out of a job. San Fran nan never met a tax she didn't like.

Speaking of Botox looks like she's due for another hit get that skin even tighter. I wonder if she can close her eyes.

Jack, I don't remember that doctor
Dr. Murray.

Thanks for sharing too what it is like
making the pills. Interesting.

Mark, LOL haha just the thought of needles
creeps me out. I guess a person has
to want it more then what the pain
would be. I was stupid I thought Botox
was a cream till I saw an article on
it in our newspaper. OMG it is injections
and some women and men get their entire
face injected. Yikes.
