JEEBUS!

Ya gotta feed the beast, Doc.

Would you rather pay fees for services that climb higher every year?

For comparison:

Wyoming - sucks

Washington - doesn't suck






Agree with JTD. It isn't the taxes that rub people wrong - it's the way the money is pissed away that rubs people wrong.

nothing personal doc but

What else sucks is when you go to the eye clinic to have cataracts repaired w/o insurance. Then one doesn't heal and the eye doc says no problem we can fix that with a laser and it is painless and only takes about 10min. His estimate was in the $800 range.............you should see his home.

I kinda "forgot" to buy them the last few years. Hasn't been a problem.

most of your late night posts seem to be bitching about something or another....might want to think before you post.

Sales tax is the same for all taxable purchases across the board, 6.5% to the state, balance varies according to the local rate.

Anybody would know that, its common knowledge.

When you fund a state via sales tax, and its published, its not exactly New news, you know that going in
Same is true for registration fees, its easily researched prior to purchase, and bitching about self inflicted wounds gets you zero sympathy from me doc.

most of your late night posts seem to be bitching about something or another....might want to think before you post.

Complaining about a 300 dollar fee,considering the use you get out of that barge seems somewhat disingenuous to me.

But for some, whining about everything is a hobby, especially where government is concerned.

Go back to your first post, and see if being 27th out if 50 is ' tax hell'

Mist reasonable people would have a hard time buying that definition...

Really? You're going to give advice to someone else about their content? That's pretty f'n funny coming from the biggest schit stain on this board.

Feel free to move....nobody forces you to stay..as much as you bitch about this state, sorta surprised you stay.

Slide on down to one of those states with less tax burden...

Like Texas, or Louisiana....I hear It's lovely this time of year, and the fishing is good there too.

Listen up bitch....

There's a reason you're known as sndyknt.
The constant whining from your sniveling ass get nauseating.
Put on your big girl panties sometime, and at least consider not crying about everything like a 3 year old girl....

Bitch
