Recently, North Carolina proposed a bill to force bicycle riders to register their bicycles for an annual fee of $10. And there's a fine of $25 in addition to the $10 registration fee for every rider the "bicycle police" catch riding an unregistered bike. Democrat controlled governments like the one in NC constantly find new ways to pick their citizens pockets, but North Carolina isn't the most inventive or outrageous when it comes to finding new ways to fleece and control people. New Jersey just passed a "rain tax". Don't laugh, it's not a joke.
