Cdub100 3,957 Posted 10 hours ago Tax his land, tax his wage, Tax his bed in which he lays. Tax his tractor, tax his mule, Teach him taxes is the rule. Tax his cow, tax his goat, Tax his pants, tax his coat. Tax his ties, tax his shirts, Tax his work, tax his dirt. Tax his chew, tax his smoke, Teach him taxes are no joke. Tax his car, tax his grass, Tax the roads he must pass. Tax his food, tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think. Tax his sodas, tax his beers, If he cries, tax his tears. Tax his bills, tax his gas, Tax his notes, tax his cash. Tax him good and let him know That after taxes, he has no dough. If he hollers, tax him more, Tax him until he’s good and sore. Tax his coffin, tax his grave, Tax the sod in which he lays. Put these words upon his tomb, "Taxes drove me to my doom!" And when he’s gone, we won’t relax, We’ll still be after the inheritance tax. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taxachusetts - The excise rate is $25 per $1,000 of your vehicle's value. When you buy a new car, you get slammed. When I bought mine new in 2020, ( I bought in June) I had to pay like 750 for the year of 2020 and then come the start of 2021 I paid like 800 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 7,587 Posted 10 hours ago Living in the Northeast, this isn’t surprising. If anything it looks low. I just pulled up NJ on Xillow and scrolled until I found a home around the median home value. First one I found was $425k and in Stillwater NJ, northwest part of the state about 65 miles from NYC. Property taxes are $8400. A family member lives in a modest house in Audubon NJ, maybe 20 miles from Philly, middle class suburb. I’m sure his property taxes are $10k or more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horseman 2,589 Posted 9 hours ago That table doesn't tell the whole story. It's tax assessed value. Two states near each other in the table and my property tax went down 80% when I moved. First state assessed taxes were at 95% of real property value. New state is at 55%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeez About the same as TN, but TN doesn't have any income, capital gains, retirement, and very low property. About the same as WA too, with super high property tax and capital gains. No idea why anyone would work and live in Illinois. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You pay sales tax for your vehicle when you register it...THEN every year, you pay ANOTHER tax on it. EXCISE is a tax on privileges. Having a vehicle is a NECESSITY for most people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the local add-ons, prepared food tax @ 8.40% in Mankato Minnesota last I checked. Just looked at a bill from cub foods. Candy is taxed, but it varies by brand/ingredient. Non-taxable items (exempt from tax as "food") Includes flour: If an item contains flour as an ingredient, it is not considered candy and is generally not taxed. For this reason, a Kit Kat bar is not taxed, while a Snickers bar is. I'm sure this is to protect farmers. Minnesota DFL stands for the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Minnesota would be higher on the list if they included things like this. https://www.twincities.com/2019/08/20/many-minnesota-cities-collect-too-much-in-building-fees-study-says/ And of course there's all kinds of soda taxes. I think most states/cities charge this. Penn & Teller explain the hypocrisy far better than I ever could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
