Cirrus Owner Tell His Story

His problem is that too many of us have seen him lie and fabricate too many times to ever believe him again. So don't believe him. Believe AOPA and EAA. As it happens, AOPA had an item in this week's newsletter, saying they don't think there's a problem. I'll take their word for it. See http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/article.../080328fl.html for the article. Note that the letter they quote from the Florida Department of Revenue, while saying that they are working to change the law, includes language that confirms the original story: "If an aircraft is purchased in another state by a nonresident and brought here for repair, training, or business use within 6 months of purchase, a use tax may be due." If they weren't going to charge the tax, why would they say that? It's not about Zoom. It quit being about Zoom the moment AOPA and EAA reported it. Zoom is totally irrelevant to this story. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (FRM) (Yes, that's me!)

Emphasize the MAY. If they weren't going to charge the tax, why would they say that? Because under certain circumstances, under the current law, there COULD be a tax liability incurred. They are saying coming to Sun 'N Fun this year will NOT be one of those circumstances. You believe them when they say some circumstances MAY incur a tax penalty, believe them when they say coming to Sun 'N Fun isn't one of those circumstances. It's not about Zoom. It quit being about Zoom the moment AOPA and EAA reported it. Zoom is totally irrelevant to this story. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

And nobody is arguing that point. Then why are folks saying "Zoom first told the story, so it must be bogus"? Past repeated performance? Aw, cmon. Nobody's perfect. Not even Zoom is perfectly wrong. But he works so *hard* at it when he gets riled up. |

It's not about Zoom. You keep saying that, and you keep putting him back into the story. Was there ever someone who didn't live in Florida, made a landing while passing through, and had to pay sales tax? If there's a true story, will someone please post it and skip all the arguing over what someone may not have said? Egad, if I knew I was gonna live to be a thousand I still wouldn't have time for endless fact-free discussions like this. |

Sold in the Carolianas, flew to VRB for a week's worth of training, left, got slapped with a tax bill. |

Now that is a lie. Nobody ever claimed that the whole story was bogus just because zoom reported it. In fact the story was published as a stand alone story many months before and nobody said anything about it. What people have said is that tying it to a slam on Sun-N-Fun was bogus because there was not one shread of proof that there was any threat to those attending. Was there ever someone who didn't live in Florida, made a landing while passing through, and had to pay sales tax? If there's a true story, will someone please post it and skip all the arguing over what someone may not have said?
