I like voluntary taxes paid by other people.
Prisoners could do it for cheaper. We're already paying for them. Might as well put them to good use.

The cost of a 6-letter, personalized, "Don't Tread On Me" Texas license plate is $90/year with a 5 year minimum.
$450 to place an order. :banghead:

My NC personalized plates were $30/year in addition to the registration cost. Payable every year when I paid my registration, not 5 years up front. In VA the cost of a "Special" plate is only $10/year extra ($20 if you personalize it).. Also paid annually.

Why is Texas so expensive?
I don't know the answer, but I can tell you that it has deterred me from having the plate I want ever since I moved here.
