Over the summer, I spend many days at my grandmother's dock at her house on the Chesapeake Bay fishing, gutting and frying. Over the years, I've used the little 202 rods and 343 rods or whatever that can be found at your neighbourhood Wal-Mart. Although they are adequate for catching fish, I don't really like them. At her house I catch White Perch mainly, but also Spot, Croaker, and the occasional juvenile Bluefish or Striper. I was thinking about getting a little budget rod that I would actually take care of and would hopefully last me a couple years. I was thinking of getting a Berkeley Lighting rod with a Penn Pursuit II (size: 3000) using 8lb mono. Do you think this would be a pretty decent, budget setup?
Winter all the way. Warm fires, cozy blankets, snuggling, brisk fresh air, and you don't sweat to death 24/7! lol
This already happens anyway whether anyone likes it or not. The more money your community has then the more property taxes the citizens pay and with more money the town can afford better and newer things. It's not necessarily fair but life isn't fair. It sucks but life just isn't fair, and this is coming from someone who has never been wealthy per say. It's a good reason to promote wealth because you want yourself and your neighbors to do well in order to have better police, better firemen, better equipment, better schools. As the poor get poorer and expand in your community than the tax base shrinks and everything starts to suck ***. When socialism happens then the tax base shrinks and the lower-middle class, the people just above that magical line that determines who gets all the tax freebies and who doesn't end up getting discouraged and figuring out ways to get below that line and eligible for those tax freebies. That's why there were so many welfare babies back in the 70's and 80's before welfare reform. We're going backwards if you ask me. I know that doesn't have to do with Tiger Woods or any of that, this was more my own little diatribe about why expanding the entitlement class and giving more freebies away to the poor is just a bad idea all around because poverty degrades the community over time and the more freebies they get the more likely it becomes that people who would otherwise be working and contributing decide that they want those freebies too and they don't want to work.
