DMV a breeze

I have always dreaded any visit to the Department of Motor Vehicles. As a senior, I am required to renew my driver’s license in person, so I decided to try out the appointment system. I made an appointment online for a date two weeks in advance on a Friday at 3:30 p.m.. The site directed me to a form that I printed and completed offline.

I arrived a bit early in order to find a parking place. At 3:10 p.m., I received a text message reminding me that my appointment time was near, so I entered the Henderson DMV (which

was very busy) and proceeded to the desk marked “appointments.” A smiling attendant asked me for the last four digits of my mobile phone number, confirmed my appointment and told my to watch my phone for a message.

At 3:29 p.m. I received a message that I should go to window 10. The technician at window 10 greeted me with a smile and asked asked what service I required. We went through the process in about 10 minutes (I was applying for a Real ID license). I then spent about another 10 minutes at the photo/signature desk (again greeted by smiling, pleasantly friendly staff ) to complete the process and left the DMV at 3:50 p.m. I received my license by mail a week later.

Thanks, DMV. I will no longer dread visiting your offices. the government calls that stealing — and rightly so. But when the government does that very same thing, they call it taxation.

2) You buy property and pay off the mortgage. You think you own it free and

“If it moves, tax it. If it still moves, regulate it. When it stops moving, subsidize it.” Punish success, reward failure and create dependencygovernment. Tax policy at your service. clear. Try not paying your so-called “property taxes,” and you’ll find out who really owns that property to which you hold title.

3) You work your whole life. The government taxes your income. Then you die, and the government swoops in to collect the “death tax.” This is not only double taxation, it is ghoulish. It is government acting as grave-robber.

4) Government taxes business. Businesses merely adjust the price of goods and services to stay in business. In this way, consumers pay government’s tax on business. Double taxation occurs when consumers also pay the so-called “sales tax.”

5) “If it moves, tax it. If it still moves, regulate it. When it stops moving, subsidize it.” Punish success, reward failure and create dependency-government. Tax policy at your service.

6) Nancy Pelosi called the Republican effort to cut taxes “stealing from the government.” No one stands logic on its head better than Nancy. An investigation has been launched as a result of a piece of fiction — called a dossier — that was requisitioned and paid for by the president-elect’s opponent. This document, called salacious and unverified by the head of the FBI, was used to obtain a warrant from a secret court that allowed that same FBI to spy on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and eventually on his presidency in an obvious effort to undermine same.

To this very day nothing — zero — has been discovered on the “collusion” front, but the investigation is ongoing. Furthermore, we are told that our own FBI’S meddling with the election and the presidency is nothing to fear. As I noted earlier, we were informed of the “collusion” after the election and, had Hillary Clinton been elected president, it would never have been mentioned, and the treasonous actions of the FBI would never have been discovered.

Actually, I think I do have it right.
