12. Not all cars are registered

Mon Dec 26, 2016, 08:57 AM

Dec 2016

My company I used to work for doesn't bother to register any of the cars we have. THe reason is they never leave company property. You register a car because taxes go to pay towards public roads. If you don't want to drive on public roads, you don't have to register them.

I'm not against doctors getting a license, I'm a CPA, and I have to maintain my license. I have no problem renewing my CPA. Its there to show that somebody working on your accounting has a certain level of knowledge, but I believe the AICPA wants to make it difficult to get because it keeps salaries high for existing CPA's, and I'm ok with that too.

Canada is ditching their long gun registery. they spent a billion dollars on it, and found out that is doesn't solve crime.
