I just don't see why you think, I as a responsible hard working person who keeps my car in good condition should be required to pay to fix every junker in the state.

I don't think that at all. I believe that the State has no right to require smog tests in the first place. Seeing that they do, people who's cars don't pass effectively have their vehicle taken from them by the State in the name of saving the earth. I believe that the State should compensate folks when taking their property to advance a public good.

I believe that the State should compensate folks when taking their property to advance a public good.

But the state is actually we who are already being punished by paying for our own inspections. Why in the world should we pay for everyone else's also. I disagree with the law anyway, why punish me further?
