“Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what me may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty.
The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”— Perri Nelson, February 9, 2010

Washington State that is. Paula over at It's Only Words has got two new posts up with a bit of information about Washington's SB6900.
It seems that our beloved State Senators want to tack on some truly onerous fees to our car tabs, despite being told time and again by the electorate that we want them to be affordable. If you've got a 350 cubic inch V8 under your hood, you'll end up paying $325.00 extra in fees just for the engine displacement. So, if you own a classic car, it's going to really cost you. If it's got a big block you're going to pay through the nose to the tune of $400.00 or more.
Lord help you if you drive a truck for a living. Or if you want to take the sports car out for the spin a few times a year. Oh, wait... in that case there's still “trip permits.” I suppose with $30.00 car tabs (when did we ever actually only pay $30.00?) trip permits are a bit expensive, but with $355.00 car tabs, a $25.00 trip permit a couple of times a year is saving money.
But it's not just engine displacement that's going to hurt. They're also tacking on a carbon tax. Gotta help accelerate global cooling after all.
Does this make my wallet look thin?
