No complaints about Arkansas when I see the total taxes in other states. Sales, property, personal, excise, income, local income, dog, etc.
Were charged on new vehicle 9% of purchase price. on used vehicle over 4K get hit with 9 % then every year there after it is assessed at 20% of value judged by the state or until 25 years later can get antique plates.
State also has fee of around 30 per year for a sticker to put on License. Now should you purchase a Diesel engine in pickup. there is a $5000 added to assessed value. and each gallon of fuel you purchase there is a nickel additional for road fee since the little pickups are causing all the road wear. Nor charged to 18 Wheelers .
assesses value for every other item also charged including land at 20%
Purchase tax for groc. is State 9% then a 1-2-3 added for cities additional tax.
Haven't checked but there maybe a tax to bury a dead horse.
When you get in your hand a new dollar bill . Fold it into 3 folds the first is what is paid in tax. then again buy something the tax will take it. and final 1/3rd remaining is grabbed as tax . check what the value of a buck is and remember back 50 years ago it was worth a value of gold. now just a sheet of paper deeply in debt.
Not to worry now the medical 'MerryWanta' and casinos is coming the politicians have a hard time not smiling thinking of the near future tax coming in. never would consider reducing a tax already in effect.
