Taxachusetts: The Same As It Ever Was

By Jim on November 18th, 2008

Michael Graham on why MA is the same as it’s always been.

You know, they told me that if I voted yes on Question 1, I’d see massive tax and toll hikes. They were right!

A $500 million corporate tax hike earlier this year, two toll hikes that will more than double what we paid last year, and it’s not even Christmas. Santa better watch out for the new $5 chimney toll.

We are told that we taxpayers must suffer because Massachusetts is in an economic crisis. Well, it was in “The Crisis” that Thomas Paine wrote of those trying times in which leaders must rise up and fight for justice and for their rights.

I really don’t know why people bother living there. The corruption is so well entrenched and so blatant at this point that there’s no hope of reform. Graham wants to create some new “reform party” to fix things:

We need new leaders in a new party, or nothing will change. The only other choice is to lie down and take it, again and again.

To that end, I’m prepared to pledge $1,000 to help start a new party – a Reform Party – with the goal of getting as many normal Bay Staters as possible to run against any and all incumbents.

Right. That’ll work. Uh huh.

The people that live in Massachusetts stupidly elect the same criminal idiots over and over and over again. Reform party? How long before the politicians would take it over and use it to put their family and friends on the state payroll?

Massachusetts is Taxachusetts. It always has been (at least in my lifetime) and – as far as anybody can see – it always will be. If you’re living there now and you’re a young person, get the hell out! Don’t let them feed off your toil because that’s exactly what they will do.

Taxachusetts is filled with blood-sucking vampires (unions, politicians, etc.) that will bleed you dry and then laugh as they move onto their next victim.
