[quote] a one-time title tax that replaces sales tax and the annual "birthday" tax. [/quote]

Let's clear one thing up. Currently, there is no sales tax on "casual sales"-- sales of used cars between private individuals. The "no new taxes" republicans are now going to make you pay sales tax on that junker, and get this, the sales tax is based on what the state says it worth, not what you the actual purchase price. So that piece of crap with the blown motor that you are going to fix up just so you can have a ride is going to pay the same sales tax as a cherry model off some dealer's lot. And you have to pay the tax before you get your tag.

But as Ron Popiel would say, WAIT, THERE'S MORE. So you get stuck with the sales tax when you buy it, AND THEN every purchaser after that has to pay the sales tax again. So the "no tax Republicans" are not only taxing your car purchase, they are doing it two or three time.

And you still have to buy a tag on your birthday, so so much for eliminating the "birthday tax."

    Pop Addict Book Review: "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It" by Nick Carter

    As a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book.  It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

    Links to Banner-Herald's award-winning sports stories

    The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
