Read a history book, would ya'? And try to put yourself into the time period instead of trying to bring everything into your own frame of reference. Sheesh!
The "Separation of Church and State." applied to the FEDERAL government, because each state had an official church and they didn't want to start the union off with a civil war to decide which church the country would be. It was a political decision that basically boiled down to "let's not fight about this one, guys."
Go up to Zuckerberg on the street and act like you want to shake hands. Smile when his armed bodyguard takes you down.

The Fair Tax solves this by the use of a "pre-bate". Every citizen gets a check for the amount of tax that would be charged on poverty level subsistence purchases. Everyone gets the prebates, billionare to pauper. If you earn nothing, you actually get free money every week. The billionare might chose to ignore the check, since it wouldn't be worth his time to cash it.
If the billionare isn't spending his money, he's investing it, where it is helping someone trying to not be a pauper. The idea that billionares would just stuff the money in a mattress and not spend it is simply ludicrous.

If you fly into Florida within 90 days of the time you purchase an aircraft, they'll send you a tax bill. Was a big deal a couple years back around the time of the Sun'n'Fun flyin. It was chasing the dealers off.

The whore and her crack dealer probably aren't paying income tax either.
What I wonder about is why don't they install some sort of computer in the plane permanently and make it part of the regular maintainence schedule to keep it running.
Pre-flight planning. You actually need a lot of those maps for that activity.
Get the latest issue of KitPlanes. In the first article, you'll see that several of the GPS manufacturers have moved away from certification because the FAA's certification process is so onerous that it blocks innovation, and actually keeps useful features out of the cockpit.
Planes get hit by LIGHTNING on a fairly regular basis without the electronics inside getting fried, and people call from the cell phones to tell friends and family that their trip will be delayed. What sort of EMP pulse are you thinking about?
Except, there are at least two pilots, who each have one, and possibly an extra stowed somewhere in the cockpit.
Last I checked, sectionals are $8 or $9 a piece, and you need a LOT of them to fly cargo. A book of plates about the same. They get replaced a LOT. All that paper is a PIA in a cockpit. The fuel savings is minor compared to the cost of all this.
They're buying them to use as knee-boards. I bought a $200, Wal-Mart Android tablet to use for the same purpose. They'll be looking at the same sectionals and airport charts that I and every other pilot in THE WORLD will be looking at. The clearances they jot down will look the same as every other pilot's.
No one will be transferring secret, self-destruct messages on these things.
So? Make the poaching legal and start selling the ivory to support the park. Where's the problem? If humans don't kill about 12,000 of them, eventually overpopulation will.
We lost the ethics battle as soon as a corporate charter became an impenetrable shield against holding individuals accountable for their actions.
This whole "corporations are evil" mantra is such a canard. You think a corporate charter gives you an impenetrable shield. Put a company that dumps toxic waste into a river behind a corporation, and write to us from prison on how that worked out for you.
Corporate status doesn't provide the shield. Money does. The same way it always has. Today, it is often called crony capitalism, but is it just the buying and selling of influence. The only thing the corporate shield does is provided cover for the buying and selling.

If he does pay taxes, how in the government going to create jobs?
Sporty's Pilot Shop has flight gloves with wire mesh in the index finger tip and thumb tip for just this purpose.

You do realize that airplanes are periodically hit by LIGHTNING, with no damage to internal electronics?

Methinks the gentleman is single.
Great! You get to be the guy she "settles" for so that she can have someone to support her in her old age. ...graaaaate.
