If a car is sold every couple of years, how many times would it have to be sold before the govt makes more on the car than the company that built it? Fro the manufacturing of the parts till the third or fourth time the car changes hands? All taxes considered. I figure (on average) every car in America that is 20+ yrs old, the govt has made more on it than Ford or Chevrolet. Taxed, retaxed and then taxed again, multiple taxes on the same product.

Now lets talk about that land we "own".
