Want to talk about extortion? Have you seen last month’s Car and Driver? There’s an article about Impound laws in California, and the amount of revenue they generate. The burden of proof is on the accused, and essentially people are treated as guilty until proven innocent . . . ---

You would think that they would learn from history regarding tax. The rebate check is bullshit. We are in a borderline recession. This is expected albeit disgusting. ---
