You also pay registration fees every year on your car based on weight - it's not called a tax, but that's what it is.

Most things you buy - are taxed.

15 years ago the taxes on our property in CT were $6,000 a year. God forbid what they must be now! The taxes for our home in Sumter County for the coming year here are $1,700. When we moved here our taxes here were around $1,500 yearly. The taxes have gone up about $200 in 15 years! They used to go up that much in ONE year in our former state. Plus they have an income tax. We have saved the difference of at least that much money every year - for 15 years. I would NEVER begrudge the county for these amounts!!!!!
