We Need More Voluntary Taxpayers

Some people think purchasers of vanity plates are wastrels and egomaniacs. I could care less. They certainly aren't something I'd ever consider buying, but I'm glad those fools are out there and only wish there were more. Voluntary tax payers lessen the burden on the rest of us.

Government should look for other areas where a tax can be assessed upon vanity. People evidently like to see there persona in print so lets consider some additional possibilities. Those roadside signs telling us who is picking up the trash in the culvert this mile is perfect. Charge for the privelge to pick up soda cans. VNTYPL8 would buy that idea. The possibilities are endless.

Personalized license plates may be a minor additional tax in states like Florida where tags are modestly priced, but in other states, like Nebraska, where a luxury car costs $1000 per year for tags, it's insane to fork over another $100 for special plates. but, I'm glad they do it. Now if government would just put that windfall from stupidity to productive use.
