Do you ever find yourself thinking about what the world would be like if there was no government? No rules? Sometimes, when I am just sitting around my mind starts to wonder. I find myself thinking about several different things. When we were assigned to write about something I really had no idea. Then, I was just sitting around (after doing my taxes) and I found myself wondering where exactly does all my money go? This lead me to the topic I am going to tell you about today. I think there should be some major tax reforms in the State of Nebraska. I feel that we are being taxed too much in some ways and not enough in others. Today, I am going to tell you about my Property Tax reform, Income Tax reform, and finally talk about registering vehicles …show more content…
I always thought Nebraska was expensive when it came to registering vehicles. However, I didn’t realize there was that big of a difference. Like Clarisse said, “It only cost seventy-five dollars to register my car in Tennessee and over four hundred and fifty when I moved to Nebraska.” According to the Omaha World Herold, “Nebraska is the tenth most expensive state when it comes to owning a vehicle.” Most of the cost comes from taxes and fees. Sales tax and registration fees are a good example. On average a person who has to register a car in Nebraska pays about one-thousand five hundred dollars in fees and sales tax. I am purposing that we do away with sales tax when it comes to buying vehicles that are ten years or older. This way, it would save people buying old cheap cars from having to pay sometimes more than what their car is worth just to register it. I also think that we should only include sales tax on a vehicle the day it is purchased. I don’t think you should have to pay a registration fee plus sales tax the same day. To me, it makes more sense to pay the sales tax the day you buy the vehicle. In some states like Oregon, they don’t even have sales tax. Even though I wish we could eliminate all taxes in Nebraska, I just don’t think that is possible. I wish we could eliminate Sales tax too, but with income tax eliminated and Sales tax replacing it, it’s just not
Leaving the registration unpaid for a couple of months, the licensee hypothetically gets pulled over and given tickets for driving an unregistered vehicle and speeding. The registration fees continue to compound and the registration goes unpaid. Owing more to the DMV the licensee cannot afford the cost of living and excessive fines. Registration fees get coupled to the fines imposed and before the...
For example, increasing taxes on gasoline will make people want to drive smaller cars because they are more fuel efficient. In turn, pollution decreases and people carpool more and limit their driving as much as possible. Another example would be the seat belt law. Having a seat belt law helps people avoid more severe injuries due to auto accidents and there is more incentive to drive slowly and more carefully. Despite the intentions, there is a higher number of accidents.
When I walked across the stage to get my diploma, the term 401k meant absolutely nothing to me. I was more concerned about getting a job than how I was going to retire. When I got hired, I was just happy to have a job with a salary. I was fortunate enough to get a great paying job, but also one that came with benefits. One of those benefits was a 401k plan.
If we are going to be honest, the roadways for the state have NEVER been free. We have paid both state and federal gas tax for decades, now, and we also pay various taxes and licensing fees on our cars and our right to drive which go directly to the highway department in order to maintain the roads. Unfortunately, as we will soon see, the monies raised in this way cannot keep up with the state transportation departments needs, for a variety of reasons.
How do you think life would change if there was no structure of government? In the book Anthem, the people in this community are brought up to be single minded and to fulfill
Did you know America is a nation built on immigrants? (Schwartz,2017). Immigration is a very popular topic right now and it's important to talk about it. Keeping innocent people out of our country based on fear is not right. Immigrants and terrorists are two different words, but some people may believe it is one. It is not right to keep immigrants out of our country based on religion, gender, or ethnicity. My reasons are immigrants are in need of help, we need to stick to our values, and they make a contribution to America. As you keep reading you will understand why.
When things go downhill in your life, you tend to only focus on what you’re going through and completely ignore the fact that many others could be going through the same exact thing. It’s not easy to accept that other people are feeling the same pain as you. Something goes wrong, it’s like the end of the world for you. That was me at the age of 9.

Thanks for commenting. I agree with many of you points, however I do not believe that immigrants are taking the jobs of able Americans. Farm work, gardening, and other labor intensive jobs are not be filled by U.S. citizens (possibly having to do with low wages), so why would it be an issue if these immigrants decided to work in these fields? In addition to this, refugees can create their own businesses, so this doesn’t necessarily take jobs away from American workers. Unfortuanely there are many unemployed Americans, however in many cases, it is a matter of multiple applications and having the right skills. If people are not qualified for the job, then obviously it should be given to someone with the proper credentials. If immigrants have these skills then why wouldn’t a company want to hire them, versus someone who is lacking the specific background and or education?
I was thrilled to hear that after that your efforts towards conceiving a child have made your goal become a reality! As a good friend to both of you and as an astute advocate for infants and children safety, I have a few words of encouragement and knowledge I hope you will take with you on this new found journey!

As a result from extreme hard work and perseverance followed by an unmatchable drive to succeed, Donald J. Trump has earned the right to be known as a multi-billionaire, real estate icon, and President of the United States of America. Reflecting on his life, he has faced many challenges and overcame them all. To understand how he rose to success and his journey to the top of the kingpin, it is important to recognize how he saw the american dream and pursued it. Today, many recognize him as the president but very few can fully grasp all that he has done in his life. From his start as a real estate mogul, to his impact on media, there are many questions as to how he became so recognizable today.

Most everyone in the world knows about America; "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave," a nation of free men and women doing whatever they wish, pretty much a place to make life as you desire it to be. But there is actually much debate on if this nation of liberty & freedom is truly the pinacle of the global nations. Nations are overall rated by four main areas; military strength to both attack threats and defend the nation, healthcare to ensure the wellbeing of the nation 's people, unemployment rate monitoring the ability to make a financial living, and education to see how the nation is in intelligence and technology. More so, America has a concept known as the "American Dream", an idea of what one can do by becoming a citizen of the first
We all dream in the day we get to purchase our first vehicle. The day we stop asking our parents to take us here and there. Some may say buying a vehicle is a pain in the you know what. It can seem like a stressful situation if you're not familiar with the process. However, working in the car industry has taught me valuable tips and tricks that will help me teach you to save money when car buying.
