RE: How would you like to pay taxes on what you kill?
Lets see here... at his suggest retail price....for fiscal 2007-08 season:
I owe the IRS:
$5325 for ducks
$1650 for geese
$6450 for doves
Thats $14,550 which is over half of my taxable income for the same time period. And that is just my migratory bird hunting.....
We already pay taxes for hunting.... its called a license... and in Virginia 100% of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheriesis funded by license dollars. Everything from salaries, to vehicals, to projects like Birding and Wildlife trails that are FREE to non-hunters.... paid for by hunting and fishing dollars... save the few federal, non-profit (NWTF....thank you.... all the DU projects are on private lands) and other grants given by certain agencies.
That has to be, without a doubt, the most idiotic idea I've ever heard.... PITA's campaign telling college kids to drink beer instead of milk made more sense than this crap.
