Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

Deposit $10,000 and the answer is yes.

Another casualty of the "war on drugs". Back when $10,000 used to be substantial amount of money it might(I would argue not) have been useful. Now it is just intrusive and overbearing. But try to repeal it and suddenly you are a "drug lord"

But Hybrids were marketed as being more fuel efficient and therefore better for the economy/state/environment, and that they should be rewarded for it. Now you're saying they aren't paying their "fair share" (whatever that means) and thus need to be punished with more taxes.

Here is an idea, why not simply tax Electric/hybrid vehicles a use tax based on miliage and leave the gas tax alone?

Gas Taxes are more fair than mileage taxes. Gas taxes more or less tax all drivers on the roads in a state, including many from outside the state that are driving through or visiting

You believe them? I certainly don't want them collecting ANY of that information, let alone keeping it for any length of time.

All taxes are regressive. This is just another example of regressive tax ideas from the left, trying to even out the playing field.

The left encourages us to get Hybrid Cars and increased fuel economy, and then when the tax base falls, they get upset at hybrids and fuel efficient cars and want to raise taxes!

So, what you're really saying is that Taxes are regressive because the rich can always avoid them. I realize you didn't mean to make that case, but you did.

This is because Walmart doesn't hire workers full time, because .... government regulations make it too costly! With Obamacare, employers have cut hours to less than 30 per week for most employees, usually to 25 so that they can put in "extra" hours and still be under 30. While you're fighting for workers, you're actually hurting them in ways you never expected, because you don't understand economics is about choice. You think removing choice helps people, but you are wrong.

You missed one. Entry Level jobs seekers (high school kids)

Why risk capital if you're going to be punished by liberal socialists who believe that the rich didn't earn anything. Taxes are regressive. Over Regulation is regressive. Licensing to open a business, is regressive. The whole market is filled with regressive policies that don't do what they were designed to do, while at the same time create new problems that people try to over regulate out of existence. Wash, Rinse Repeat!

I suspect that within 5 years, you'll stop seeing burger flippers because Robots make better, cheaper, quicker burgers. And guess what, your $15/hr min wage jobs are going to disappear, and you'll be fighting for $25/hr Min wage jobs because there aren't any $15/hr ones.

Why don't we just make Min wage $50/hr or $100/hr if it doesn't affect businesses or profits ???

And North Korea is the epitome of Socialism.

The problem with embedding technology in the car, is that it is so quickly outdated. many Cars from five years ago had iPod docks, yet most of the people I know that had iPods don't have them any longer, and the Docks are unused (if they even work).

Bluetooth is the new connector, and I suspect that in a few years, it will be replaced with Greentooth, which isn't backwards compatible.

My point wasn't about Time Value of Money or the opportunity cost. But thanks for reminding that most decisions are more complicated than that.

I pay cash for good running used cars. I've never been disappointed. I've had new cars, and the cost of a new car isn't worth it IMHO. 2 three year old cars are worth more (IMHO) than a new car in a dealership lot. I drive off in a used car, and I can get nearly what I paid for it anytime afterwards. A new car, you're upside down for around 3.5 years, meaning that if you tried to sell it, you couldn't pay off the loan.

Get the "title" from your cabinet. Take a close look at it. It actually says "Certificate of Title" and it does have your name on it. But it isn't the title, as it is issued by the state where registration takes place. The state requires its own certificate of title to register the vehicle in that state.

If you had a title, the state couldn't require you to have its Certificate of Title, and you wouldn't have to register it. A state requires registration for you to drive on the roads. To drive on the roads, you have to surrender the title to the state, be issued a Certificate of Title, and then register your vehicle. They will not allow you to register without surrendering the title. I know, I've tried.

It isn't title, it is the Certificate of Title. While they function similarly, it isn't the same thing.
