Your class envy statement proves I have the left and right absolutely correct. “Penthouse sportsmen?” Really?
You don’t understand economies at all. The “penthouse” fishermen and their related activities pay a helluva lot more “mortgages” than you apparently realize, so blinded by your class envy you are.....
Sorry, no class envy here. I’ve just been around watermen most of my life, and have seen them screwed time and again by these bureaucrats.
The recreational industry simply has more money and political clout, and they use it.
