To be fair, some of those are "fees" which are intended at least partly to cover the cost of a service.

However, then the question is whether the government should be involved in whatever the function is.

Actually, it's worse. Some are taxes on fees. Fees I can handle, as long as they go to the states purpose. Our gas taxes, here in Texas, were supposed to go to pay for roads. Turns out, it went in the general fund instead.

Now, we are being saddled with toll roads on top of all the other taxes. After the fact, they tell us part of the toll money will go... you guessed it, into the general fund.

Any wonder I'm moving back to MN?
