And if that isn't enough for these towns and cities, they go a step further by putting up all those red light cameras to automatically catch any and all red light runners thereby bringing in millions more in fines and fees. It's crazy. So the next time someone tells you they are in a certain tax bracket, remind them to add in all the taxes, service charges and fees all that year and add them to that tax bracket. We even have get this not a tax on rental movies and such but uhum rather what the cities like to refer to as a user fee to keep racking in the moolah. Food tax, gas tax, real estate tax, personal property tax and all the other sources of taxes including those 5.95 connection to the pay phone charges at our prisons. It would be interesting to know how much money is collected nationwide on our legal system. Court costs, attorney fees for representation, prison operating costs, pay phone fees, tickets money collected for all ticket on every infraction. It has to be way up in the billions yearly. Yes we have freedom here in America but at what cost? To borrow a line from Charlton Heston in the movie Planet of the Apes... Well watch the 8 second clip for yourself...

Lmao good reference great movie and don't even get me started about this. I would like a forensic audit to be performed on my county and the city I live in, I want to see where are all these hundreds of millions of dollars are going to which are generated from taxes, fines, and penalties.
