Yes, they are charging me more for not having to print and send me an actual ticket. So there is clear precedent  |
That's nothing new. In the ancient world (around the 1st century A.D.) if you lived under Roman rule one of the taxes you paid Rome was a tax for existing in order to be taxed. So if I were the tax collector back then and you the 'citizen' under Roman rule I could tax you just for being there to be counted and taxed in the 1st place.
