First off, your statement about renting a car, etc. in no way references anything I said. Read it again please. I was talking about the number of times those items, plane, boat, etc had been sold over the years and where there was no transfer of funds except from the new owner to the old owner. The manufacturer or designer of the equipment were totally out of the transaction.
If you wish to say I am "anti-socialist," I will agree with you. Actually I an an independent that hates all the parties because they are essentially the same and all are beholden to the big money interests.
