Man, if NOTO is having a hard time making sense of it all, how the hell is an ordinary citizen supposed to do it?
Well, thanks for all the help guys.
It sounds as if he's using all this as an excuse to justify getting new vehicles. He's expecting a 3rd child so the Elantra would likely have to be replaced in favor of a minivan, and from the sounds of it he really wants to get a truck, so it sounds like he's trying to make himself believe all this tax nonsense.
either way, the government sucks, and it's just all too confusing. As if emigrating and moving wasn't already stressful enough for people.
