There is also Angel Island. Monterey Bay is not too far down the coast. Water is very cold around here all the time and the sea is rough...
Perhaps a consumption tax of around 10% for everyone? Also, much of the government can be privatized. If we delegate more services to the...
True. This is also why I admire him. :) In short, he and his secretary ought to have the same income tax rate - 0%. I heard that NetJets...
I truly admire Warren Buffett, but I cannot agree with his views on progressive taxation. Ideally, taxation should come from consumption, not...
Watch out for use tax here in Kalifornia!

Hopefully, the world can do enough fast enough to slow the effects down. Or perhaps WallyIsland is the answer? This topic also brings...
This is probably a silly question... why can't it be treated like a regular US recreational vessel for customs purposes? Is it because it is...

I thought some navy vessels were designed to withstand nuke blasts from a distance. Perhaps heavy armor-plating will find its way into the realm...
I think naming a "tender" XXXX Shadow is more trendy. Of course, it must be able to carry the requisite helicopter. :D
Other than having to deal with cruising permits and perhaps NOA requirements, are there other disadvantages of registering a recreational...
