Another Nj Tax on the boating industry

[Capt. Debbie]

Taxes are for government to make more spending money. Many, if not most times the tax money brought in has nothing to do with the workings of who is being taxed.

A better area to get after would be electric vehicles. We are taxed at pump for highway maintenance due to our usage. Electric vehicles are paying nothing, while they use as much as they would like free of any contribution.

Hybrids are even more complicated.

Sorry Frank but again not answering the question. Your an attorney can a suit be filed to try to stop this and why not you to lead the fight?

[Capt. Debbie]

You can legally sue anybody for anything. Many are frivolous.

Question- who is the identified class being discriminated against?
Q2- Are they an established "Protected class" that had been discriminated against that the court will review with "heightened scrutiny"?

There's your first two hurdles to even have a class certified, notwithstanding the merits of the case. The court must certify the class, and then certify representative individual cases as samples. Still notwithstanding the merits.

Your first answer is just the recreational boater! We were taxed unfairly as a group. We were the only group that was taxed!

[Capt. Debbie]

If you read the "legislative intent" that make it always creates an illusion why this tax was chosen. Some times they don't even call it a tax, its a use fee. ha ha.

I know it's not helping. But you are being attacked by people with legal weapons. Remember that pseudo criminal Corzine as governor put plans in place to double parkway tolls every few years? They bitched about it. He decided to quit and be something else again. But we still are stuck with it. No one repealed it.

They don't want to. STuff like this lead people to Trump who were sick of this crap. Now they are dumping their crap on Trump. Can't do a damn thing with the leeches WE have ELECTED in DC.

Another novel legal argument recently was the NYC subway fare increase discriminates against minorities who use it most. DE FACTO discrimination like we have here. That died too, albeit true it does.
