Description

decades ago, here in California there was what they called an inventory tax. this tax was levied against a business's stock at the end of a years business cycle. The owner was required to pay a tax on stock he had at that day of the year, like we say April 15 is tax day... And wait that is not all, the state also taxed your personal belongings TV, Washer\dryer, etc. Those archaic taxes were finally removed Now present day Taxes.. Automotive registration Why do we pay such high registration fees? Where does that money go, (not to roads, that's gas taxes) Why does the registration fee seem to go up. I have a 1962 station wagon, and every year the registration fee seems to go up, why? I propose that the registration fee is only applied when a automobile is bought, the fee to be a percentage of the purchase price, and set by a 5 person committee. Then as long as the automobile is owned by the same person, only a yearly $5.00 dollar fee for a sticker should be asset. Well that is my thought, what do you think
