An opinion published in The Clarion-Ledger describes how unfair Mississippi's system of taxation is on motorcycles.
The author noted having to pay $732.94 in taxes and fees for one year on his motorcycle.
For as long as I can remember, the state taxed motorcycles from value schedules based on the displacement of the engine. On Sept. 1, the Tax Commission began using a computer program purchased from R.L. Polk & Co. to calculate the assessed value of each motorcycle.Taxes on motorcycle sales are 7%, compared to 5% for cars.

Shouldn't taxes on vehicles be the same? Maybe for weight or something?
