So unless we are cutting spending by the same dollars, eliminating the car tax means we are increasing other taxes. I don't like taxes any more than the next person, but I have to say, a car tax seems to make more sense than some other taxes. When someone drives on the roads, there is a real government cost associated with that. When they buy a book in the bookstore or make a little more money working overtime, there is really no government cost. But if we get rid of the car tax, we would have to increase things like sales tax and income tax to make up for it. In the end it's all the same money coming out of our pockets. I'm not so sure the car tax is the worst tax out there, and it's not necessarily saving us any money by eliminating it. Well, maybe the person with a lot of cars saves money. But are we really concerned about that person? How about taxing boats instead of cars?
