It’s a use tax. Legally speaking, you are supposed to do it for other items too, like if you live in WA but buy a television in OR. Just that televisions don’t require registration but cars do.
I think it’s completely fair really. I mean you’re already getting mad benefits from leeching from two states, surely you want to pay something towards public services where you live?
I think billionaires should cough up the cash and pay it all. Besides, we are in a thread about how that money was misused, so how can you actually expect me to want to pay… for… documented… misuse… of funds.
From that particular perspective, property taxes may be the fairest of the tax “flavors” since it is directly tied to your place of residency and can be localized based on the public services in your area. And indeed, this is largely how New Hampshire functions, though they do also have some other revenue such as excise taxes.
I don’t oppose property taxes at all, I just oppose they way they’re used for funding an area such as for schools. This method insures the poorest zip codes have the worst schools.
Actually… WA and OR have a sneaky deal where if you buy it in Oregon and then try to register it in WA, you owe the taxes to WA anyway.
Kinda crap if you ask me.

It really should be one big pot split up, and nothing for sports.
