Greg makes some good points about
registration leading to taxation.



If you recall that was tried with boats years ago as part of a "luxury"
tax. Didn't last long. In fact, Congress passed it in 1991 and Bush
41 signed it into law. It was canned two years later.

Wow. A boating reference.

Two in one night. I am amazed.

I do think the luxury tax is not comparable tho because it was
defeated because it killed jobs.
A registration tax would be seen like the myriad of other "sin taxes"
and we already got used to paying registration taxes on the other
things we register (houses, cars, boats and now even toys.)
