“Floatation vests. Select, and for those--you know, this is, I am glad that they have already got the bureaucrats involved because for most people, floatation vests are just kind of like life preservers. But are we going to tax all floatation vests, or are we going to go to the IRS and come up with a set of rules and regulations that say these vests are taxed, taxed as 5 percent, and these are not? We are only going to tax selected classes of life preservers, but of course we are not going to tax standard lifeboat vests. You know, there is stuff on here. You outline the skis, polls, boots. That includes cross-country and downhill. Make sure we do not forget snowboards; they are now on the list. I do not know what a stuff sack is, but they are going to be taxed. Now let us go on. So we have covered--if you are going to have any fun outside, you know you can figure you are going to pay 5 percent, and it is not on this list, but I bet it soon will be: rollerblades will be on there. I cannot imagine not having rollerblades.”
