Oh it has everything to do with avoiding taxes.... I'd stake my left nut on that one.

That's not the point I was making, or responding to. But now that you mention it we come back to their weird 7 mile idea. Because at 7 miles out they still have to pay federal and state taxes (to the nearest state). If they go three miles and an inch further out (so that they are more than ten miles from the low tide line), then they are in international waters and don't have to pay a cent to anyone!
