" I only re-registered one of my five vehicles. I'll sell them before CO gets more frivolous tax dollars. I take comfort in knowing that I actually contributed less in vehicle tax dollars after Ritter's increase, than I had paid on all five vehicles last year. I'll remember Ritter in November. "

" So if we don't tax how do we pay for roads, schools, police, fire dept, social services for the poor, disabled? Oh that is right, everyone can earn $50,000yr with benefits and care for themselves. I have children, a mortgage, and a job and I pay my share to provide services to the elderly who can't work, low income workers who need healthcare, children who need education/lunch tickets/after school care. Yes, WE pay for all that. Democrat or Republican-who cares when you can't feed your children, get a job or your car falls off a failing bridge!!! "

No disposable income. My kids won't have much of a Christmas because of all the "little" taxs here and there. But welfare bought a woman in front of me lots of pop and candy for her kids.

" To all of you who think this tax hike was a good thing "to build and maintain roads and bridges". Ummmm, hate to tell you this but 0.46 of each gallon of gas we buy here in the state goes to just that. Or is supposed to. Ritter and Denver steal our tax money and don't let us maintain our roads.

" More government means more taxes. It's that simple. Don't cut spending heaven forbid. I know lets raise vehicle registrations two to three times from the year prior and call it a fee not a tax. I know lets go after the Workers Compensation surplus that belongs to the workers in this state to protect them. Oh by the way don’t forget the dividend checks that go back to business out that amount. They are only the ones who been have been paying into it. "

" Hey Judyj,
What is it that I'm wrong about? What all you "tax lovers" don't understand is that this country needs the middle class to have what is called "disposable income". This is the money left over from our paychecks after our government takes 25-30 percent out in income taxes. Now, for all of you tax lovers, this means that businesses will go under because people aren't spending. When businesses go bankrupt the employees get laid off. Just look at main street. "
