Time Fur a Poll: Re. RV Parks

Yes, taxes can be a mess ... and hardly cheap. Basically, it boils down to local communities charging taxes above and beyond the state sales taxes. In crude terms, it means that the locals are financing their public facilities on the backs of the visitors -- who may or may not ever use those facilities.

Yes, that is the exact purpose of taxes. I may never use the local ambulance service. My house may never catch on fire and need the fire department. There are roads in town I will never drive on. I won't ever play basketball on the local playground. I don't have kids, so I have no use for the schools. Yet, I pay taxes for all those things. And that is only at the local level. Then you repeat the process at the county, state and federal levels. It is the way things work.
