Call me the last standing cynic. $1.00 to improve screening measures. $4.00 to consolidated revenue.

 

Increased, or new taxes to me always indicate a Govco in need of padding out another black hole.

Nah, $4 for administrative costs, and it'd probably cost more than that. 

 

How many taxes have the govt stopped charging because too much of it was lost in administrative fees?  I remember one in the 90s for the maintenance of waterways etc  that was added to our rates and they stopped it after two or three years because a large percentage was going on admin costs to collect it.
