Don't I remember that the exercise of constitutional rights cannot be taxed?
Oh yeah, here it is.
A state may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the federal constitution... The power to impose a license tax on the exercise of these freedoms is indeed as potent as the power of censorship which this Court has repeatedly struck down... a person cannot be compelled 'to purchase, through a license fee or a license tax, the privilege freely granted by the constitution.'
--MURDOCK V. PENNSYLVANIA 319 US 105 (1942)
