We in Massachusetts already pay a yearly excise tax on our vehicles and a licensing fee. Some of these taxes were said to only be temporary when enacted. Now to just walk in the front door of the registry, you will get a backdoor fee for.... standing in line................

I'd move to a state that still allows its citizens to be free.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous.
Crucis
ReplyDeleteYes, I am thinking another country maybe
Lady Di, unfortunately, I don't know of any that are better. Tax-wise, Missouri is much better. And, we're "shall issue" for CCW.

Ridiculous. I live in MA (though am giving very serious thought to leaving), and this is just one more thing that makes living elsewhere look far more attractive.
ReplyDeleteYes Fuzzy, owning a business,keeping people employed, and putting food on my table has been the main focus for the past 30 years. I can tell you that my dollars going to the registry have been decreasing due to the selling off of vehicles and down sizing (again) in light of the recession/depression..
ReplyDelete$5 to walk in the door of a DMV?
