What kind of taxes are you talking about. I thought Ohio's taxes are cheaper than West virginia and Pennsylvania. We moved out of Pa due to taxes into Weirton West Virginia, now we are looking into moving to Harrison County Ohio to get away from the coke plant and paying taxes on our truck.

Please allow me to explain. I pay local income taxes ( Flat 1.92% of my income), Local sales taxes 3/4% on top of the state sales tax. Local property taxes (Roughly $300.00 per month). So once my house is paid for I still can not live free can clear. And lastly state income taxes. Did you know that up till 1971 Ohio had no state income tax on it's residents.

You know if Tennessee can live with out them so could Ohio. Our state and local govements are just to big. They need to be reduced.

Goverment needs to do Three simple things. 1 maintain the Roads. 2 provide police protection. 3 Educate our children. 3 simple things if done well other things will fall in place.

Before all these Goverment programs the local Comunity took care of it's own.

Fellow Buckeyes, I want you all to know that I retired in OH despite the fact that the state taxes my military pension while PLENTY of other states DON'T! Spend that extra revenue wisely!

i moved and i have a car tax where i moved to, but i dont have a city tax taken out of my pay like i did in ohio....paying a once a year car tax is a small price to pay compared to the cities reaching into your pay check week after week! Akron took 70 bucks a month from my check and that was back in 1987,i shudder to think of what the amount would be today?

oh yeah right when i moved the county applied a TEMPORARY? tax....there is no temporary taxes and no temporary toll roads, in 1972 i asked the turnpike toll booth when the Ohio turnpike would be free and she told me in 1978 it would be paid off no such critter.

"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods."[H. L. Mencken]

We had to pay a bit over 200 dollars for our truck tax and that wipes us clean for the month.

but add up your city tax for the year.....is it OK to pay more if they take it a little each pay?
my problem is i own 7 cars...i am thinking of registering some of them as antique but then I'm limited to when i could drive them and they need to be in a locked garage for the insurance purposes.
