Taxes have always been the "legit" way our government rip off it's citizens. Here in Nigeria (thankfully electric cars aren't common yet) the taxes are plain stupid. When i was working at a liquor store, we sold both liquor and soft drinks. We were taxed for the liquor, the soft drinks and guess what else for? Our signpost!

Where do these people come up with such ideas? Their reason is "it is on government property". Then come a few months later, Some other people came by claiming to be sent by the State government. Lol. Apparently, the previous outrageous amount we paid was to the Local government. The state government came in demanding something more stupid. This is no innovative idea. This is corrupt practice.

If that wasn't enough, we found out that our liquor store was charged 30,000 while a man who owned a cloth store was charged 15,000. And if you want to go by value, that man's store/boutique (two of them) is worth approximately 20Million while ours is just a little over 1Million in value. So I really don't get the logic.
