Let's see:

I buy a new car for $40K and pay 7% sales tax=$2800
I sell the car 3 years later for $20K and the new owner pays 7% sales tax=$1400
He sells the car 2 years later for $10K and the new owner pays 7% sales tax=$700
He sells the car 2 years later for $5K and pays 7% sales tax=$350
And on and on...

That's $5250 in sales tax collected in 7 years on the same car that originally cost $40K, or 13.1%. Sounds like some kind of scheme the mob would dream up.

Oh wait. That's a tax law. Gotta be ok then.
