1) CORPORATE FRAUD by Anonymous Citizen on July 8, 2008It a legislatice excise tax being imposed on the citizens of this state and nation. It is unlawful for a body corporate (State of Michigan) to force a natural person to sign a unilateral contract with the state. Furthermore, it is also unlawful and without full disclosure that the Secretary of State issues registrations classifying an "automobile" as a "commercial vehicle" and defining every human as a "operator", which basically makes them a taxi-driver while traveling in their normal course of life. This States legislature needs to brought to justice for not providing the public a remedy for this corporate fraud!
The whole idea of vehicle registration in general is obsurd. It's nothing but a taxation system to enlarge government and control people.
Another term to look up is Kakistocracy. It certainly applies in Lansing!
