Isn’t it counterproductive to tax the daylights out of new cars?

CoolDude asked:


The combination of sales taxes and value-based registration fees are total disinsentives to buying new, clean, safe, efficient cars while encouraging people to keep those gas-guzzling, polluting, unsafe, rusty clunkers on the road. Where, exactly, is the logic in that? Plus, many states with emissions testing still make you test brand new cars every year while exempting the clunkers!

What a nonsensical situation! Actually, it’s the same with jacking up your property taxes as punishment for making significant home improvements.

Silliness abounds! How much better for the environment and for our standard of living if we reversed this situation. Who’s with me?

Since 1998, in the USA, all new cars have dual front airbags, but what about Mexico? Do new cars sold there have airbags? Do some and some don’t? Does the Mexican government have any auto safety laws?
