This is one the things that really **** me off about this country...along with property taxes, vehicle ad valorem and such.
what the hell, I just see something terribly WRONG with the government taxing someone's personal property.
It's just wrong, wrong, wrong.
:thumbdown
Yeah, he's going to get paid, and he's probably better off getting rid of it now because the ball might actually losse value, but come on.
I understand taxing him if he sells it, but just to OWN it.
wrong, wrong, wrong....
...support the Fair Tax....
:mad:

Damn before you know it, they'll tax our terds !!
