Taxes

“I'm proud of paying taxes. The only thing is--I could be just as proud for half the money.”
--Arthur Godfrey

I recently renewed my vehicle license tags, which caused me to consider the incredible amount of taxation that goes on for that one single item.

Sales Tax - I was taxed on the money I spent when I bought my truck several years ago.
Personal Property Tax - Before I can register, I have to pay property tax just for owning the vehicle.
Vehicle Registration Tax - I'm taxed on the registration of the vehicle
Fuel Tax - Then, if I want to drive the vehicle, I'm taxed on the gasoline that I buy.
Federal Income Tax - And above all, I'm taxed on the money I earn to pay all these taxes, too.

I pay my taxes, because I'm a law-abiding citizen, and it is our God-assigned duty to "render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's..." but eventually, there's got to be a limit.

I've been reading alot about the "Flat Tax" or "Fair Tax" plans recently, so hopefully, I'll formulate an opinion on the subject soon.

There just has to be a better way.
