Just returned from Florida. I bought an annual State Parks Pass.
Florida added state tax to the fee for the Pass.
Then I was at a State Park in the Keys.

I told the Ranger that I thought the Government could not tax their own fees.
I was wrong.

Your forced 6.2% (or whatever it is) is taken from gross.
You are then taxed on the 6.2%.

If you consider SS to be a tax, it's a tax on tax.
