Wow! I only have to pay $1600 a year property tax on my house and nothing on
anything else I own in the UK.

Geeze . . . my property tax on my house alone is over $8000/year (the lion's
share goes to the School District, the rest is County and Town, and Fire
District, and Library District and Solid Waste Authority and Sewer District and
. . . it's so ridiculous.
Fortunately, I am not taxed on my airplane.

Here in Taxachusetts, my 2004 state registration was $165. Oh, and
another $20 for my picture ID and my car's "airport parking" tag.

Having said that, the Massachusetts Aero Commission -has- put a lot of
visible improvements back into the GA airports in the state recently, and
I don't mean just the MassPort ones.
