Replying to: volvomax (Jan 27, 2009 2:17 pm) There should be one tax amount for each taxpayer, but if the present system continues....... For every $1,000 paid for Income Tax the payer gets one vote. When the taxpayer is productive and owns real estate, he votes entire ballot. If he doesn't own real estate, he can't vote on real estate taxes. If he is NOT productive, lives on the dole & collects permanent welfare, he doesn't vote.

Replying to: euphonium (Jan 29, 2009 8:42 am) I think removing their voice from government would be a mistake... not to mention a violation of the constitution (as long as we are bringing up our form of government).

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 29, 2009 8:56 am) Those in this country who have a pot and window know what they have done to achieve that level of economic stability while those who don't, know what they haven't done. The term "less fortunate" implies helplessness, but not everybody is crippled or retarded. Too many, with ability, have chosen to let the govmint take care of them with our (my) taxes. I understand they have that entitlement (right) to vote, but it isn't earned.

Replying to: euphonium (Jan 29, 2009 9:42 pm) All citizens (adults) are subject to laws and regulations. All citizens who are subject to those laws and regulations should have a say in who gets to make the rules. Anything short of that resembles tyranny. Suggesting that one should "earn" the right to vote is a nonstarter. In any case, we should make an effort to get back on topic.  tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

Here's a pretty good website from the State of Texas on private party sales tax - Apparently the state got tired of people declaring that that famous $1.00 sales price for a used car, and started collecting sales tax on the standard presumtive value of the vehicle, based on (Kelly, Edmunds TMV, Smoke Signals?) but still a good place to get a snapshot of what your car is really worth. The site allows you to enter a VIN and the odometer reading on a car and get the "Standard Presumtive Value" of the vehicle. Interesting reading, but - caution! - it can be depressing.
