"This exodus shows that mASSachusetts is a state that is so morally backward with all its "we know what's best for you" antics, that people are sick of it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the past few days, there have been Freeper posts about a City of Boston gun "buy back" program--an assault on the people's rights to own weapons, and a report of the governor's signing into law the closest thing to socialized medicine since Hillarycare, and just yesterday, there was a report about the refusal of the Lexington, MA's schools to comply with the parents' right to remove their children from classes where homosexual marriage was being touted to second graders as "legal in Massachusetts" and, therefore, "a normal part of the status quo" and thus immune from the sex teachings regulations.

Combine those very recent events with the fact that the highly taxed state's nickname is "Taxachussets" and housing costs in that state are obscenely high and you would have to wonder why the exodus from Massachusetts isn't even greater.

You know, our taxes really aren't that high. We're in the middle of the pack, and as a share of our per capita income, below states like Georgia, North Carolina, Utah, and Idaho.

But as for the rest of it... yeah.
