O.K. So I live about 3 miles from Ashford. Same city, same state, same
etc. My 69 6 is valued by the same Tax Commissar at $100 and the tax is
$4.00. My 76 7 is valued the same. So is my 80 8. $100 value, $4.00 tax.
Sorry Ashford, but please don't tell.

Subject: Ad Valorem taxes and stupidity
So it's time to pay the ad valorem taxes on my cars, but I received a
notice to call the local tax commissioner to compute the tax on my TR6.
I try to call them.six times before I have the privilege of being put on
hold for 35 minutes. Finally, a voice appears on the other end and asks
me "what did you pay for your car?" Without thinking too much and being
basically honest, I replied "5,000 dollars" (which isn't exactly right
either) and was promptly told my bill was $107.04. I'm still trying to
figure out the answers to two questions: one, what do they do will all
the tax money and two, why I didn't reply "oh, maybe a thousand."
My tax dollars at work.
