Golf Cart Tax

House Bill 181 has passed the Democrat-controlled North Carolina House and is now reported favorably by the Democrat-controlled North Carolina Senate. It is likely to pass into law soon. And it's another tax increase and increase in needless government regulation:

By ordinance, a town may require the registration of golf carts, charge a fee for the registration, specify the persons authorized to operate golf carts, and specify the required equipment, load limits, and the hours and methods of operation of golf carts

What does that mean? Certain towns in North Carolina will now be able to require "driver licenses" for golf carts (and charge a "fee" for that license). Special towns will be able to require "registration" for golf carts (and charge a "fee" for that registration). And only these privaledged towns will be able to create government enforcement agents to walk around and inspect golf carts (and raise taxes to pay those likely armed government agents).

Isn't that wonderful? Don't you feel safer knowing that golf carts (in certain towns) will be heavily regulated by government? Isn't it good that only people who ask permission from government will be able to operate a damn golf cart?

Democrats. They know better than you. Give them your money and obey them and shut up.

Oh, how I yearn for freedom.

1 I don't think that would make it in Florida... unbelievable... surprised they are not taxing wheelbarrows.

2 I'm sure it's for "safety," so I bet it WOULD pass in Florida. They're not admitting it is creating a new tax, they're just claiming it's regulations for safety. I bet most of the supporters don't even understand the new taxes that are being created with this one.

3 what on earth?! this is the stupidest thing I ever heard of. If it's private property, why should you be required to have a license? I understand licenses for publicly owned roads, but a golf course?

money grubbing creeps.

4 hell no it wouldn't pass in Florida, there are more golf carts there than people... it would be a revolt kinda like the new transformers movie... golf carts going batshit crazy and killing senior citizens, gray haired old men fighting back with cigar torches and 9 irons... the mayhem would be astounding...

5 Birdwoman, it's ALWAYS about money. "Follow the Money" really works well with politics.

Chris -- so, you have those dreams, too, huh?

6 obviously you have never been on a golf course in FL... i never knew that so many old men smoked pot till i really started playing early in the day... its amazing that the plants dont just grow right on the course there are so many blunt roaches laying around
