When Is a New Tax NOT a Tax?

In Raleigh, in the Clown College ... when it's a FEE:

"The House Finance committee has signed off on a package of about $100 million in fee increases for the upcoming budget year."

Many of those new and higher fees will land on people trying to get justice in the courts, but as we know, in the New America of the Republican Majority, justice belongs to people with plenty of money.
