The U.S. government has just passed a new law called: "The affordable boat act" declaring that every citizen MUST purchase a new boat, by April 2014. These "affordable" boats will cost an average of $54,000-$155,000 each. This does not include taxes, trailers, towing fees, licensing and registration fees, fuel, docking and storage fees, maintenance or repair costs.
This law has been passed, because until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase boats. This new laws ensures that every American can now have a "affordable" boat of their own, because everyone is "entitled" to a new boat. If you purchase your boat before the end of the year, you will receive 4 "free" life jackets; not including monthly usage fees.
In order to make sure everyone purchases an affordable boat, the costs of owning a boat will increase on average of 250-400% per year. This way, wealthy people will pay more for something that other people don't want or can't afford to maintain. But to be fair, people who can’t afford to maintain their boat will be regularly fined and children (under the age of 26) can use their parents boats to party on until they turn 27; then they must purchase their own boat.
If you already have a boat, you can keep yours (just kidding; no you can't). If you don't want or don't need a boat, you are required to buy one anyhow. If you refuse to buy one or can’t afford one, you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one or face imprisonment.
Failure to use the boat will also result in fines. People living in the desert; ghettos; inner cities or areas with no access to lakes are not exempt. Age, motion sickness, experience, knowledge nor lack of desire are acceptable excuses for not using your boat.
A government review board (that doesn't know the difference between the port, starboard or stern of a boat) will decide everything, including; when, where, how often and for what purposes you can use your boat along with how many people can ride your boat and determine if one is too old or healthy enough to be able to use their boat. They will also decide if your boat has out lived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific accessories,(like a $500 compass) or a newer and more expensive boat.
Those that can afford yachts will be required to do so...its only fair. The government will also decide the name for each boat. Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.
Government officials are exempt from this new law. If they want a boat, they and their families can obtain boats free, at the expense of tax payers. Unions, bankers and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$) are also exempt.

Damn looks like I will be fined for a while. I would like to purchase a boat, but even at an average cost of 54k to 155k I still cannot afford this affordable boat act.

Yup that sounds about right LOL. Don't forget about the online boat exchange website crashing after 6 people registered to buy their boat...... That cost over 600,000,000 to create.

Will I be taxed more for people to enjoy their boats? Stupid Obama care. Can't wait to this guy to leave office but then again he'll probably be replaced by another douche.

I think it would be so your new boat can be tracked. Your old pre-affordable boat act boat is outdated, and must be confiscated.

I think we're all stuck on the same glass bottomed boat for the foreseeable future. We can all see the rocks looming larger but none of us control the throttle or steering. Full speed ahead!

I still can't believe how people fell for all the Democrat BS, and once again Cocksmoker46 go away, do you even work or pay taxes? I got my letter about a month ago and spent hours and hours on the phone with Kaiser and their providers because the plan I have had for years and been paying for not only goes away December 31st but the new plan they offered me has double the co-pay and 4 TIMES the deductible, please explain to me how this Affordable Health Act is doing any of us one fuckin bit of good????
