Vehicle Registration Renewal Notice $554
Just got my notice: $554. Wow, you think I was living in my truck. A truck that I drive less than 5,000 miles a year. Are these fees going to solve our unemployment problems? Why would anyone go out and buy a new car, if they are going to get stuck with fees like this? Why don't they raise the income taxes?

2. Looks like I need to do is claim another state
like many "Californians" do in the military. I always thought that was wrong, but what are you going to do.

4. They didn't raise income tax enough for the rich folk
Instead they raised registration fees and sales tax which hurts the poor and middle class more than anyone.

6. You know the sad irony?
We (Californians) removed our last Governor OUT of office because we (Californians) were so mad at the high vehicle costs and Arnie's first move was to send out refunds for the crazy increase in vehicle fees. . .well guess we're paying interest on that decision?!?
