You know what really burns my butt that they've started doing in BC & I noticed it's starting to happen in WA is road & bridge tolls. I have no problem with the concept that the roads & bridges need to be paid for somehow but where I have a problem is paying a toll to the government when you know that at least 50% of that money is going to be spent collecting the money, mailing out invoices & hiring the 3 times as many staff as any private business to accomplish all that when they could just add a small road tax to everyone's vehicle license & that way collect 100% of the funds with the staff & equipment they already have.
Like in BC we all pay a road tax associated with the weight of your vehicle. It's probably about $50 for an average vehicle. Why not just raise it to $75...or whatever it takes to look after the friggin costs?
It pisses me off. It's like they think they can just keep coming up with new taxes & they don't get it that folks are at the end of their rope.
Sorry to change the topic...needed to vent.
