NC Car Tax Increase
I know it's not really news that Democrats want to raise taxes. It's what they do. When you vote for Democrats, you ARE voting for tax increases. They don't understand anything else, and they'll never do anything else. They honestly oppose ANY decrease in taxes at ANY time.
If you pay attention to politics, you know that it's also not really news that they're going to lie about raising those taxes, and they'll lie about what the tax money will be used for. Once again, it's what they do. Dishonesty does not bother Democrats because in their minds, the ends always justifies the means, as long as they are the ones in charge. So, once again, there's another Democrat-proposed tax increase for people of North Carolina, and yes, they're lying about it. This time it's a massive tax increase on automobiles and automobile taxes. The tax would sustantially increase the cost of buying a new car. How much of an increase? Over 125%. And yes, this would be one of the Democrat's favorite type of tax increases -- a hidden increase. It wouldn't change the sticker price, the tax would be added in AFTER the sticker price is calculated. In addition, it would raise taxes even more if you traded in a car for your new car -- because it would eliminate a current calculation method based on the value of the old car (since the old car has already been taxed and will be taxed again when it's sold). And, of course, they're lying about the tax. Democrats claim that the tax will increase funding for highways. That's a lie. For decades now Democrats have been stealing money from taxes collected for highways in a clear violation of the North Carolina Constitution. Therefore, the funds for highway building and repair are very low. This new tax may increase the amount that goes into that fund, but the Democrats, based on their actions over the past 2 decades, will just increase the amount going OUT of that fund and into their own pockets. Auto dealers understand that this tax WILL hurt their business. Less people will buy new cars. But it will put more money in the personal pockets of the ethically-challenged Democrat legislators in Raleigh. Therefore, in the Democrats' minds, everyone wins.

Taxes, in the world of Democrats, only exist to be raised. Why else would they be there?

"Less people will buy new cars"
So now NC is jumping on the "lets stab the american auto industry in the back" bandwagon?
Great, just great...

Just following Michigan's lead...
You see, it makes sense in the liberal world -- people are buying cars that they shouldn't. The Church of Global Warming says so. Therefore, anything that makes people buy fewer cars is good.
And yes, this does fly in the face of common sense and reality because I am well aware of the fact that newer cars are MORE environmentally friendly than older cars.
But none of that matters to Democrats. Control and money, that's all that matters.
