I just find your post to be confusing...and I truly want to understand.

What sarcasm? Everything posted above is 100% factual, with the exception of the obviously sarcastic "you are right, it is just another tax" with the rolleyes next to it.

With that said, I find the whole program to be a slippery slope. If I understand correctly, there is some amount of poundage available to catch to help generate research dollars by some non-government agency. That non-government agency chose to incentivize people to "buy" that poundage by making it available during a period of time where they would not normally be allowed to keep fluke. In order for this to work, the government had to make the poundage available to the program and make available special permits to those same people who "bought" the poundage.

I am afraid you do not understand correctly, but you have a basic grasp on it.
