Damn! Another pretty decent article for CNN. I only found one sentence to quibble about.
“When you register your passenger car, you usually pay a small license plate fee”
My guess is there are many Americans across this dying nation that would dispute that “small license plate fee”.
Small liscience plate fee. plus
Weight fee, tax on value, and misc.
My CT-90 tag is more than Ipaid for the bike (in about 1975).
I think it’s part of the perpetual gaslighting. You pay small license plate fees, as well as receive large 20 gram per week chocolate rations. Which were increased over the 30 gram per week rations of a few months ago. And they’re going to go up even higher again soon.
We’ve got guy in Washington state (Tim Eyman) that has made reasonable vehicle registration fees a career (of sorts). He used the voter initiative process to pass (on more than one occasion) “$30 License Fees”. The left, in defiance of the people, has undone it every time.

It’s a small fee because it hasn’t yet been adjusted for inflation...
