    Cars? I don’t hate cars. I hate that we’re systematically defunding our health care to give people pointless tax breaks so that people will vote for Ford. Does 200$ really compensate anyone for having fewer doctors?

      No it doesn’t, but then, that’s not really an argument to keep nickel-and-diming drivers. I’m all for fair progressive taxation, but it shouldn’t be composed of a million government fees that pop up every time you have to deal with the government for any reason. I know Ford got rid of the $200 fee and refunded it for cynical, manipulative reasons, but I’m still glad it’s gone, and I have to believe that most people are not stupid enough to be bought by $200.
