Let's see, the attempt to abolish the state tax was lost over fears that it would cause the state to have to cut vital services and raise property taxes. (Remember ballot question #1?)
Hey, guess what? They're cutting vital services and raising property taxes, and add in toll increases for all toll INSIDE the rte 128 belt, and you've got one hell of a state government working for you!

Although this is heresay at the moment, but I believe the state is trying to attach a tax for internet sales with companies OUTSIDE of Massachusetts.

So you will, in effect, be taxed twice for the same purchase.
Once by the seller, and again by the state because you "bought from out-of-state".

Please tell me where this insanity will end?
Wasn't it bad enough WILLINGLY overpaying for the crappy work done on the Big Dig? Now they hand the same dirtbag company that built the collapsing tunnel another 30 million job to build what will surely be a "collapsable" garage at LOGAN.

We need to change the state name from Massachusetts to "Ass"achusetts, since that's who appears to be running it now.
