The Conference Report on HB 4 was voted out Monday. Referred to as the "liar's affidavit," this bill simply insures that a person who buys a used car pays the right amount of sales tax on the transaction. This bill would raise a lot of money for the state.
This seems like a good idea. RIght? Everybody pays their fair share. A lot of money for the state. What's not to like?
I got to thinking about this. I probably thought about it too much. (It doesn't pay to actually think about legislation very hard.)
In it's most basic form, an affidavit is a document that is full of statements that are true and correct. And, a liar doesn't tell the truth.
So, a liar's affidavit, then, would be a document that is full of a liar's statements that are true and correct?
My head hurts just thinking about this, so I just went to have a few beverages. But you know, at least they passed something. Even if it doesn't make sense to me.
