>>326720>A permit is not a tax. A permit is not compulsory like a tax. You don't have to buy a permit, you are choosing to because in modern US society, there do not exist many people who must fish or starve. Shit, you can fish without one. But without it you're free to suffer the consequences. A tax is compulsory; a permit is not.It's exactly this accepting attitude that has gotten California into a "no fun allowed" nanny state, while states like Texas continue to be great places to live WITHOUT all the permitting bullshit.
