There used to be a special luxury tax on yachts here in the states. It seemed like a good idea, the ones who would be paying the tax would be people who could afford expensive toys right?
The problem was that rich yachtsmen just started buying their toys overseas and as a result many domestic yacht manufacturers, some that had been in business since before the civil war, were driven out of business forcing the lay off hundreds of blue collar workers.
