This does not include the half hour to an hour of my life that I have to surrender to the great State of NH while waiting in traffic caused by the tolls.
Ah, I see now. Yes, that would definitely cut into Mass.' profits. I say profits because I don't believe for a second that there is no money anywhere. They can give this woman Walsh a job that has been vacant for 12 years at 200K a year all of a sudden? This Gov. Patrick is a slime ball, just another color.
I'd be careful about mentioning a politician's color. You could be accused of something you did not intend...
Sure, and NH can implement a state income tax just for the people that live in NH but work out of state.... Talk about scumbaggery! People in NH that work in MA pay income tax in MA but cannot vote there. Taxation without representation...
I agree that our government is scum. I wish it were more like NH's.
BTW, your state is moving left. Don't let us conservatives south of the border down.

Wasn't that the very foundation of the American Revolution? Does anyone else find this incredibly ironic? I lived in FL for a few years, and only after I came back to MA (against my will, I must add) did I realize how difficult life is here. Time to start looking for a new place to live I think...

It most certainly was, duker. That's why I find these taxes so ludicrious! As of midnight the price of cigs went up another .62 cents thanks to the feds! Today is my b'day and the patch is going on when I wake up so my b'day present to me is not rendering unto Ceasar!!!

They already did... it's called Massachusetts Income Tax. The 'powers that be' in Massachusetts better hope that NH never starts an income tax program. Do you have any idea how much MA would stand to lose if that happened? Even if NH's tax rate was quite a bit lower (let's say 4% vs. MA's 5.3%) there would be a HUGE shortfall, which of course would probably cause Mass to raise their income, property, gas, and of course....cigarette taxes. Hmmmm, isn't that how this thread began??
Might call for another tea Party? The Sunshine state now, has one going on? Sending tea bags to DC?
TYVM, maggie and duke. I wouldn't mind a little "Benjamin Button" syndrome now!
