In certain third world countries, imported cars and motorcycles (new and used) are duty taxed 100%! An new $8000 Ducati costs you $16,000 in Manila.
We deserve the government we elect. Consider the Libertarian Party for maximum freedom and minimum government taxation and expenditure.
For comparison sake - do they have a property tax? If not then it's probably cheaper than we in the U.S. get.
See my example about a $40K car over ten years and 4 owners. The state gets at least $20K in tax revenue. That's obscene.
I looked at the Libertarian party - even they have their problems not the first of which is pie in the sky plans for fixing things.
It took over 200 years for it to build up to this, it's not going to be fixed overnight.
