<VV> FW: Tax on Collector Cars

[Dave Keillor]

This is an April Fools joke gone viral.  

"The Shelby American Automobile Club's annual April Fool's gag reached a
much wider audience that anyone could have predicted. Initially a
four-page newsletter was emailed to every member. It contained stories
about a perpetual motion '68 Shelby, a '69 GT350 that supposedly got 40
miles per gallon and a bogus front page recreation of the New York
Times, dated March 28th, that had two stories. One was a hoax about
purported tax legislation being prepared by Sen. Charles Schumer, which
would tax every collector car, antique, hot rod and race car in the
country. This was, of course, concocted out of thin air. But it was, on
the surface, believable and it hit numerous hot buttons of car owners.

You may want to send this out to the members!  We need to get this bill
killed!



 

Don't know if you are aware of the newest tax to implemented by our tax
and
spend government.

 

Check the link below.  Schumer knows that some Americans who work hard
all
their lives and manage to save some money after paying their high taxes
can
be easy targets for getting even more of their savings.  If they
invested
their time and money into antiques, tax the value of the antiques!  We
all
know how well the government would be at estimating those values. 

 


 


 

NOW HERE IS ANOTHER DEMOCRAT SCHEME FOR PICKING OUR POCKETS: TAX 10% PER
YEAR FEDERAL TAX ON THE VALUE OF YOUR ANTIQUE / COLLECTOR / STREET RODS
ETC.
VEHICLES! GREAT!!!!!

 

HOW ABOUT DOING THE SAME ON THE VALUE OF YOUR HOUSE OR PERHAPS YOUR
BANK/INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS......... WOULDN'T THAT BE SWELL TOO??

 

HEY........CHUCK SCHUMER FROM NY:

 

HOW ABOUT JUST SPENDING LESS $$$$!!!  

 

Call or write your elected officials in DC to Kill This Bill!
