Boat Tax (ft. Kyla Hewson and Kristen Pue from Pullback)

Show Notes

The Big Shiny Takes Institute has returned! This episode, while Jeremy is in his self-imposed book-writing exile, Eric and Marino are joined by Kristen Pue and Kyla Hewson of the Pullback podcast to read a baffling column by Jesse Kline.

Jesse spends valuable column space concern-trolling about the Liberal's new luxury tax on vehicles, applicable to cars over $100k and boats over $250k. He admonishes the government for this reckless new tax, and claims that this will impact the working class much more than prospective boat owners. We examine these claims and come to some different conclusions.

Editors note:

Some names had to be removed from a story Eric shared early in the episode to protect their identities as nobody would ever trust them again after learning that they did not deliver on their cowboy boots promise.
