Within moments of the above endorsement the event had thousands of replies and we are in danger of overwhelming the dz.com servers. Truth is I am ALWAYS on my best behavior around skymama cause I know she throw some mean smack down on people Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

99% of what John says is to just yank people chains. He's great at it....but.... The above IS the issue. The far LEFT talks like the only people that are going to get hammered are the Warren Buffets. THEY WON'T it will be the million a year and down to start with. THATS not Buffett but a lot of people that have work hard to build up business..... THESE people don't trust the gov to NOT blow the money. FIRST cut spending then raise taxs. Tie the tax raise to the cut in spending. Spending goes UP taxes raise get's cut down.

Kallend you know I love you but YOU are rich, there's no assumption you demostrate that in your life style and toys. And I don't believe anyone can find a post where Kallend said he wouldn't pay more taxes. It's something I admire about him and Bill. They would I believe. I can admire it...I don't agree with it though Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

I believe the event would be about a year. Giving us time to have the camps and select a strong team. Let me address a few PM comments. Safety – That would be rule one. FWIW the people that are normally the hardest to keep straight are the jumpers with lots of experience rather than limited experience. These once told and understanding generally try their best to “behave” Skill level- Let me be clear. While my desire is to have as many first time 100 way jumpers as possible this WILL NOT be “200 jumps and one 20 way attempt” jumpers. Does that mean that there won’t be any low time jumpers on it? No. But again these are the ones that work the hardest to do the job right. My ability to put this together or “Who are you”– (My favorite) Probably the best real answer here is I’m the guy that is willing to do it and not try to make a lot of money. Nothing wrong with making money but I do other things for that. The largest I have organized with great plane captains was a 66 way. I’ve been doing big ways for about 7 years, did the 400 way….have around 3,000 jumps. The plane captains will have more experience than me, and easily be “better” than me. They will be the magic. We have about 30 people who have expressed firm interest. If you are please PM and provide a e-mail address. Be safe. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Hey, I’m trying to gauge the desire for an event that I have been kicking around for some time. Someone asked me after organizing the Georgia 66 record what I enjoyed the most and after thinking about it I decided it was the fact that so many people were on the jump that had never done a jump that big – and I’d like to do it again but BIGGER. 1. Do you believe you have the skills to do a SAFE and SUCCESSFUL 100 way? 2. Have you NEVER done one? 3. Would you be willing to pay $10 a DAY at your local dz to be looked at for a slot? (That’s right $10 whole dollars and for that you would get organized and videoed for the day and debriefed) If selected would you be willing to come back to your local dz for at least two others days for practice? Another $10 each time ($30) 4. When you came to the Florida dz would you be willing to pay ANOTHER WHOLE $10 for the event? ($40) This event is aimed at jumpers who have the skill and desire to do a safe and successful 100. Who don’t want to pay a fortune in travel cost or registration fees. It most likely won’t help you get on either of the world record teams. This is strictly an event to put something back into the sport of big way and to help capable people get there first 100 in there book. The jump tickets would be at whatever the drop zone charges and would be paid to the drop zone NOT the event. Each selected drop zone will have a local highly experienced plane captain to jump with you and make the selection. Currently Deland and Skydive the Farm have been selected as locations, three other drop zones with Otters will be added. The dates would be winter of next year. Please feel free to comment here about any thoughts you have, or PM me. CCH (Chief cat herder) Fortson Rumble Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

So John for taxing purposes you would apply these taxes ONLY to people who are in the top 1% of assets. Buddy THAT is going to be a small, small group of people Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Nothing. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

John lives in a different world. Years ago he ran a great and very successful business. But now he teaches, can't be fired and is sort of like Warren Buffet (They look alike if you drink enough beer) He is very good and telling other people to pay more taxes, or that the idea of paying more taxes is right. He won't ever answer what is "rich". But he has a COOL car and airplane. Oh yeah, and my plane is going to kick his planes ass at the POPs record this year. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Thats about as dumb as saying you should move back home Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

TK, I read most your post, I disagree with most of them BUT I read them because you do (normally) lay out a somewhat reasonable view. I'm not SURE where the $100 charge would be going. I agree that the gas tax is plenty BUT if the $100 charge was going to pay for the health care you'd be happy....(liberal) and you would happily pass the cost along to the jumpers. But if the $100 charge ISN'T going to where you think it should your pissed. I don't know that the FAA couldn't use some more money. I'd rather see it spent there than for health care. We all don't have to fly........... Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Sorry TK I'm not picking on you just calling you on some of the shit you've said in the past. I drive a F-150, 12 years old and around 150K on it, My Mirage container is about 11 years old, my USED triathalon is about 4 years old. So basically your "broke" and I'm cheap? I believe a while back you did some construction work around you house (good for you) perhaps you could have added that money to the gear you want to buy? I don't think that all dz's are "rich" just the ones that add on buildings and seem to stay pretty busy. Besides define "rich". My whole point of this was to point out how this was effecting YOU and your business and the way you were responding. Raise your rates, as you should AND WILL if this was to pass. You aren't doing the job for free. But to me you seem to have thrown a brick in a glass house is all. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

TK with your history are you REALLY going there??? The point is that the FAA is already well funded. I AM paying my share. The fact that they cannot find more tenants is not really my problem. *** Shit TK with this position how can you have such a hard time with the same argument for people that don't feel they should pay higher taxes. Z-Hills is the GE of drop zones. I small 182 dz should get better breaks than you do. Why are you having such a hard time agreeing to pay your FAIR SHARE? Besides your FAIR SHARE would just be a little bit more....heaven forbid you and your partners can do with a little less profit. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Not to thread hijack but isn't that like saying the top tax payers are paying there fare share? Z-hills make lots of money off the airport and the tiny amount you pay isn't really that much. For the good of the rest of the community certainly z-hills could pay just a little bit more...as in YOUR FARE SHARE Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

+1 The largest problem is that the people who are paying the MOST already have no belief that the extra taxes will go to reduce the ampunt owed. It's like getting a second job to pay down debt but knowing your spouse who doesn't have a job will just spend the money rather than pay down the debt. No "trust" Until that chnages we are stuck, how do you change it? Find a leader more people trust. Who's that? Beats me. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Quafe I was responding to your somewhat childish outburst. Bottom line is simple. 400 BILLION sounds like a lot- it's OVER ten years. Done equally that a whole big 40 billion a year. YOU REALLY THINK THAT WILL DO IT BIG BOY? FWIW I have stated that we have to raise taxes. Obumber doesn't have a clue what to do. So again, mostly for you and to complete the childishness. FUCK OBAMA and the horse he rode in. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Classic, what an in depth well thought out comment. "Fuck you Boehner" well Fuck you Obama with close to 1/2 trillon in new spending Good now it 1 to 1 "Fuck yous" LOL how dumb Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

+100 that is HORSE SHIT.......the press feel in LOVE with Obama. After Bush it felt perfect. Here's a very well spoken black man, smart for sure. He LOOKED great to the world. Now down the road a bit...... Carter looked good after Nixon (and a bit of Ford) No different. For the record they all suck so you out of control Obama freaks fuck off.... Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

FWIW....I think Bill is getting tired of being a Mod. If he stoped that job and took his muzzle off he would make Kallend look like a amateur. Although he hasn't snswered I'd bet that in principle he is very much in favor of these goals. Just not in favor of the broad based paint brush goals of the tea party. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

I thought I would come as a midlle aged, fat, balding guy...... Wait that would be in ME Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Even better Fortson Rumble will actually be there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday....well actually that doesn't mean crap BUT I get to skydive and I can't wait

Your playing with the goat fucker, she won't back up anything Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Are you refering to his Dad dying??? Please tell me that this is NOT how you're refering to Karma. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Even from you that is a shitty heartless comment. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Does any of the lefties here really think that this is nothing more then a play to blame the Rep on not passing whatever he comes up with? Whatever it is, it will cost....a lot. We don't have the money so no matter how you look at it, we will be spending money that we don't have to stimulate the economy and it DIDN'T work last time, it won't this time and we will be even more broke.

Have a Goat fucking great day Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
