How in heavens name would a GA pilot vote for Edwards, a personal injury lawyer who's inclined to sue General Aviation out of existence? He's already attempted to sue Obstetricians into oblivion so that pregnant moms sometimes have to fly to the nearest available OB\GYN willing to deliver their babies! And can you tell me that John F'n Ketchup won't regulate or tax GA to death? Kerry comes across as a semi-active GA pilot so I suspect he'd have at least some sympathies in our direction. No question about Johnny Trial Lawyer though. At the end of the day, 400,000 members of AOPA do not have 1% of the clout with the Democrats that the trial lawyers do. If Hollywood lends them their sizzle it's the ATLA that pays for the steak. It's interesting that Bush has not made more of an issue out of liability limitation as he did in Texas. Cessna's plant in Independence would be a perfect backdrop for a "success story" on the subject. I doubt either guy gives a whit about day-to-day regulation, that's in the hands of the permanent bureaucracy which nobody really gets to vote on anymore. As for taxes, again I doubt we'd see big differences. Barring a change in the House (v. unlikely w/ Texas redistricting) even Kerry couldn't do anything too radical right now. Meanwhile the notion of a luxury tax, tried under Bush I, was so thoroughly discredited by experience that it likely won't be heard from for another generation. It devastated the boatbuilding industry so badly even the big lefties had to admit it was a dumb idea. Best, -cwk. |
