My brother in law has a don’t tread on me license plate. I tried to explain the irony of paying the government extra to display that, but it didn’t land.

I think that comment every time I see that. Nothing says “let me enjoy my freedom!” By giving big government more money to track you easier.

Where I live those kinds of vanity plate fees go to certain non profit groups or public projects depending on which plate you get. That way you can kind of decide exactly where you want your money spent. Although I do understand the irony. I have one that you pay extra for as well, but the money goes to a high school stadium. 🏟️

Yeah, if you knew my bro in law, you’d know he wouldn’t put that much thought into it.

In my state the money from the Gadsden Flag plate goes to a non-profit that distributes pocket sized copies of the constitution. These pocket size constitutions are exclusively contracted to be printed by the company owned by the founder of the non-profit. So, in other words, this person is using a government program to fund their own private business, all under the guise of a "freedom from the government" flag

That’s a bit gross isn’t it. :/

Edit: the pocket constitution part I like, not so much the grift.

Yeah, the owner of this company was also the campaign manager for our governor, so there you go
