Mr tax man

Had to renew my registrations today, boy did Mr.TAX man decide to A$$ RAPE me. Boat registration went from $13.46 to $33.45

, so much for that only supposed to be a 30% increase in recreational vehicle registrations

. This is flat out A$$ RAPE!, and other countys have an even larger increase in taxes this year

. I guess I should feel lucky though that no car registration fees went up though, they decided to get the extra money from the boaters. Imagine how the guys with the big boats feel. There yearly taxe fees used to be around $125-150 a year for coast guard registered vessels, heard many of them went up to $450+.

Noticed this year the gas costs in FLA was about $.05 less a gallon than usual.
Normally it costs 10 to 15 cents more per gallon than in GA but it was only 5 to 10 cents more this year.

In MARCH they had a vote in regards to the increase in property taxes, needless to say it was voted against. So they decided to generate half of the lost revunue by raising boat registration fees and taxes. What a trade off.
