The filing fee is passed on to the client who filed the paper, of course. The cost is not spread to the rest of our clients, like a tax. What is so difficult to understand about that.

A fee is the conservative answer to the cost of a government service. He who uses it should pay for it.

A tax is the socialist answer. Spread the cost to everyone.

The old existing fees already were in excess of administrative overhead cost, and were a revenue source. Mitt as Governor and with executive power raised the fees at least another 250 million per year, and some say 750 million.

This cost was passed on to the citizens and removed from the private economy into the state treasury.

If you had an agrement with a client that you could collect incurred costs, but you billed more for other clients, you’d have a problem.

Mitt did the same thing. He did it, and the Democrat legislature was more than happy because Mitt as Governor was going out and shaking down companies and citizens and then turning the money over to the Treasure for the legislature to spend. Why should they complain?
