I hate Excise Taxes

use tax (in CA) is pretty lame too.

buy a used car and pay taxes on it. if you didn't have to change the title over, etc. then you could pretty much treat it as a garage sale transaction, ie untaxed. who really calculates use tax at garage sales??

I hate paying taxes on something that has already had taxes paid on it. That is a big load of bullsh!t.

but how else are we supposed to pay for all the socialist hand out give away programs and homeless programs?? don't you feel guilty that you make so much money that you have to be taxed??

 
I've paid 2 excise taxes this year. One on the car I traded in, and another $320 one I got in the mail today on the new car. Now I have to file for an abatement on the trade-in. Lame fvcking taxes.
 
here or somewhere else i read some guy calculated all the taxes he paid on everything throughout the year and roughly 50% of what left his pocket went towards some sort of tax.

We went to War for that once a bit more than two hundred years ago.

It is time again.

no, i pay $50 dollars a year in excise tax, i should only have to pay about 20 bucks but the state says ALL vehicles can be worth no less than $1850 for tax purposes reguardless of age, mileage, or condition.

I think he means he pays the same tax rate as a $1850 vehicle, not $1850 in tax. $1850 in tax alone is nearing property tax rates.
 
Ya I moved to MA a half year ago or so, I found out about this excise take and I wasnt like WTF is this? I paid tax on my car, now I have to pay it every freaking year?!!!

Ok, in that case...

I just completely misread your post. Now I understand. That's still silly, though.
