1 Expect to pay $2,000-$5,000 to install a complete ductless mini-split air conditioning system in a 800-1,000-square foot home, or $5,000-$7,000 for a 2,000-square-foot house. A ductless unit is a split system just like central air, only smaller and more flexible. 2  The compressor sits outdoors and is connected by a pair of refrigerated lines to one or more air handlers inside the house. 3  The hole in the wall for the lines varies, but is usually about 3 inches in diameter.
You cannot opt out of taxation. Thus, taxation is a legalized form of theft. Our ancestors held wars over a tax on tea and now we allow the government to get away with income tax. People need to understand that you don't need the government to watch over you like a parent.
The most important taxes on consumption are sales and excise taxes. Sales taxes usually get paid on such things as cars, clothing and movie tickets. Sales taxes are an important source of revenue for most states and some large cities and counties. The tax rate varies from state to state, and the list of taxable goods or services also varies from one state to the next. Excise taxes, sometimes called luxury taxes, are used by both state and Federal Governments. Examples of items subject to Federal excise taxes are heavy tires, fishing equipment, airplane tickets, gasoline, beer and liquor, firearms, and cigarettes. The objective of excise taxation is to place the burden of paying the tax on the consumer. A good example of this use of excise taxes is the gasoline excise tax. Governments use the revenue from this tax to build and maintain highways, bridges, and mass transit systems.
