Taxes?  You don't even know what taxes are until you've lived in Minnesota.  Hatred The annual registration fee is 1.25 of the vehicle's sticker price,  reduced by 10% per year or something.  Works out to right around $300 for the wife's SUV.  All taxes in Minnesota are like that - higher than just about anyplace else in the nation.  They just doubled the price of cigarettes a few years back - then explained to us that it wasn't really a tax, just money that the government takes from the workers and keeps for itself.  See, not a tax at all.  Luckily, we're only have a 5.2 BILLION budget shortfall this year. 

And they keep electing these same morons year after year. 

Well, the fact your wife drives and SUV means you guys are obviously EVIL people, who deserve to be taxed harshly.  Everyone knows only evil people who care nothing about the environment drive SUVs.  You guys probably also kick puppies, cause people who drive SUVs tend to do that also.

In addition, upping the price of cigarettes is perfectly okay because it cuts back on smoking and gives the government more control over what people can do with their money, as well as what they consume, because we all the know government knows better than we do about such things.  

(And yeah, this is all sarcasm. :)

Seriously, Minnesota sounds like it SUCKS.

Hey, thanks for all the replies guys, it's helped put things in perspective.  I guess I was just a little peeved about how the whole "thinking I'll have money left over" thing and then this arriving in the mail, plus with all the crazy BS going on in this state (note, I don't claim it as mine, even though, technically I was born here).

I've learned some of you got it worse, and some got it better, I guess that's true of a lot of different things we could talk about.

I certainly won't deny we're evil, and care nothing for the environment, but the actual reason she drives an SUV is because...well...this is the street we live on:

It's yearly in Ohio, SC, VA, NY, and OR  (only states I've lived in with a car).
Both SC and VA have the personal property tax, which majorly sucks.  They also tax groceries, which I think is horrible as people need food to live.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
