what are the direct taxes in the US on cars?

In Norway with the exception of import tax it is

Registration Tax: $400-15000 depending on the age and size of engine
Annual Tax: $500

I have 2010 model that was $32,000 new and holds its value. My annual ad valorem tax is around $125 and an annual tag fee of $28. That is NC. I find this state to be quite low on the automobile taxes.

A minimum of 22% of Norway would love to live in North Carolina then

Property taxes are also very reasonable. Our county is also in good fiscal shape. We do not have public sector unions. Could there be a correlation?

My truck tabs were 42.00 $ last year and my 30' 5th Wheel was 32.00 $.  No off road vehicle tab tax YET!

We were lucky, we passed prop 13 which stops Govt from using property taxes to balance the budget.

I am interested in knowing what the local CA response is to the judges's bankruptcy ruling conserning Stockton. I am sure the unions are screaming, but the what do the other citizens feel?

One word, Giddy.
People see it as a way to end the madness the libs are doing to the State.
Were broke and billions in debt, yet they turn around and spend a trillion on a bullet train, right along the San Andreas fault, a fault that would eat the train in a heart beat.

God libs are stupid!

I have a feeling Gov. Moonbeam and the Assembly are not happy campers right now. No way the "Tax More" program is going to work. All the takers really screwed up when they voted to raise taxes.
