Anyone who has a shop has 5k. I can afford the liscense and fees, but it is a ridiculous amount compared to any other buisness licenese, and the background check will only force people with less than perfect records to installing a puppet owner.

I do suppose the $5,000 liscnese is much cheaper than a 12% tax on all transactions like they were orignally aiming for...

Like SC said, one benefit of the liscensing fees will be that it will create such a substantial sum of money, that it will not be something the local authorities will want to see go away.
