    QuoteFor the highway system, a combination of gas tax and registration tax (or a fee) works. Bill, you are not listening. Vehicle registration fees are not ear marked for highways or any other transportation purposed. And there is a big difference between tax and fees. I quit, your mind is made up and the reality of the situation is not going to get in your way. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Yes, Bush and other Governors along with the leg. bodies did and do cause deficits. There is not a thing wrong with my theory, it is not a theory but a fact. You either did not read or are ignoring what some people are posting. In CA revenues for the state went up but our elected officials continued to spend at even a faster rate. Saying the economy caused it is like saying I got in the wreck because I didn't see the stop sign. When the economy is weak common sense says you should reduce spending not increase it. If you and others are not willing to hold them accountable do you think they will stop this kind of fiscal management on their own? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    The economy caused it, thats so much crap. The problem was caused by our elected officials. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    This not a tax, it is a fee. It does not go to repair roads, it goes to the general fund. It is called a Reg. Fee. If it was a tax they could not raise it without a vote of the people. This fee is not for using the roads, it just one more way to get money from people. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I was not talking about what Bush did, I was talking about paying triple to register a vehicle in Ca. If they are fixing problems they are doing at the expense of the tax payer who had noting to do with creating the problems. You seem to be content paying outrageous taxes and fees but I'm not. I have no idea what the solution is, but I am sure defending the irresponsible actions of our elected officials is not part of it. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    My Harley is also paid for and I didn't pay $50,000 for it. Taxation according to the ability to pay it the way they used to do in Iron curtain countries, am I right. Any way you look at it, this is a fee to balance a budget that was allowed to run wild. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    As Cloudburner stated, this fee does not pay for road maintenance, it goes to cover other items in the state budget. It has nothing to do with how much I use the road. Gas tax in Ca is used to maintain roads. Increasing Vehicle reg. fees is just a quick fix for years of "piss poor money management". My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Quote>Last year I paid $132 to register my Harley. This year it is $310. >Thats not paying for services used . . . You did not operate your Harley on a road? If you kept it on dirt trails, then I'd agree the government has no right to tax you for that. If you operate it on a road, don't expect me to pay for the maintenance of that road so you can ride your bike.[/reply This clown went into office with a $10 billion surplus, Ca. now has a $30/40 billion defect. I would call that irresponsible. I did not ride my Harley 3 times more then the year before. They either fucked up charging me $132 in the first place or they are trying to pay for their fuckups by charging me $310 now. Either way it is piss poor management.

    The Judge said that this guy hated freedom. Since he was there for the trial maybe he heard something we didn't. No of us know what this clown said or didn't say, and maybe he said he hates freedom. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    But never lose sight of the fact, I and millions of others fought to give those people the "right" to be ungrateful. While I think they have their head up their ass, I would again fight for their "right" to have it where they want it. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    One of the great things about this country, both you and this Judge have a right to your opinions. The difference is his counts and your doesn't. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I just finished packing 4 pilot rigs. The difference between putting a 26' in a pilots back and putting a PD176 in a Javelin is night and day. Does anyone else miss the good old easy days of round reserves? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    From our conversations, I would say about 8 years younger than you Hmmm... went into the Army in '74 when I had turned 17 about 8 minutes before... I forget when I was born. But, I do know I was "born again" in '80 when I first stepped out of a plane, so that makes me 23 in skydiver years? I wounder how many remember seeing Cool Hand Luke in the theater? I started late, I am 28 in skydiver years. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
