I see what your saying, but you gotta remember it's our choice on how much :

Gas - We now have the choice to by hybrids to cut this cost down
Sales Tax - not everything in every state is taxed
Property Tax - Personal preferance on the value of the home someone wants
Tabs - Older cars carry lower fees

I understand your points, just saying we have more options that what's being said. It's like we are trapped. And that's not the case at all.
