In case you’re serious; in most places in the world, cars are a luxury and taxed as such. In island nation in particular, imports are also very expensive in general and import taxes are most of their revenues.

TLDR: tax the rich, poor don’t need cars in sane cities.

A lot of island nations have extreme import taxes on cars. See: every Caribbean island.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
