The reason is the question I posted it under- if these "rich man toys" are not trickle down- then what do you call the industry the rich man toy's created?
Yeah, I guess i did not get the point.....still don't. Is your point that trickle down economics works? ...and works well as a way to stimulate the economy? ...or the opposite? ...or is there other possibilities for your meaning?

Every industry creates jobs. The implication is that if someone can write it off in seven years or ten years will make a significant difference in his decision whether he needs a personal jet or not, right?

It's really not a parallel to your big boat industry is it? I mean a jet has more legitimate business uses than a huge gas guzzling boat, right?
