Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
To be fair the group is trying to stop a commercial enterprise from using public boat ramps. They are using sensationalist news stories to do it but I can see their point on this. If the company is making $4,000,000-$6,000,000 per year they can afford to rent a boat ramp versus hogging a public boat launch. I didn't see anywhere on their page them complaining about the vehicles being either military or military style vehicles just that they were a money making venture using a tax payer funded public ramp.Now there is a site with a group WACK JOBS trying to the Ride The Ducks banned from seattle. It's interesting how much BS stories they created

Before anyone starts flaming me I believe in less government involvement in EVERYTHING but I'm also a very strong capitalist and if your business model can't survive without pushing private individuals aside to make your way than you've got a crappy business model.
Didn't say they didn't pay taxes. I lived in Kent for 2 years so know about the taxes in the area. But it's one thing to build a public use item figuring the average "tax payer" is going to use it a couple of times a month (if that) versus multiple times a day. Traffic at a public boat launch, especially in the Seattle area, is hectic enough without worrying about dodging the equivalent of a floating comedy club whose MC is worried about traffic, a schedule, and entertaining the customers.And Ride The Ducks is a Seattle taxpayer also.

the average tax payer is also not paying taxes on 4 million dollars.
I'm willing to bet they didn't pay taxes on $4,000,000. That's what "business deductions" are for.Corporations are not entitled to the same access to public domain facilities? Guess we should ban corporate vehicles from public roads too.
WA state businesses pay their income taxes (B&O) on gross receipts. No deductions.I'm willing to bet they didn't pay taxes on $4,000,000. That's what "business deductions" are for.

If this is no longer about the accident maybe it's time to lock the thread.
