If every tax were at 100 percent, the Dimmycraps would be camoring to raise them.
After all, lining their pockets wiht our money (via taxes) is what make liberals superior to you and me.

Raising revenue: a deed Democrats do best.

“The commission will also recommend other money-saving measures including scaling back the MBTA employees’ lucrative health and retirement benefits, described by the commission as ‘the most generous in the country.’”
And, of course, the MBTA will just go along with this; after all, they voted in the baboons who gave them these perks - surely these same baboons will gladly throw away their political careers by taking them away, so there’s no use in fighting them...

I guess rising gasoline prices aren’t so bad after all.

What a shameful way to fall, in the state and people who held the famous tea party. Two despicable senators, corruption throughout government, barnyard morals. When the hell are these people going to look at themselves and realize the shame they have come to.

Michigan’s no better. A Canadian Governor who wants to raise the state sales tax and state income tax, $1.8 billion state deficit, #1 in the nation for people and business leaving the state. Thanks Granholm, Levin, Stabenow, Conyers and the mom and son team of the Kilpatricks. All flaming Dumbocrats.

And all this revenue will definitely go for upkeep on the roads and rails? Riiight.
Even if it does the money will end up in some union bosses hands for incompetent work anyway. You know, the kind of work that results in ceilings falling on cars and killing people.

A bonanza for gas stations lining the MA/NH/VT border from Salisbury to North Adams. Then they can pass a law making it illegal to gas up out of state.

Should be sweet/no sweat. Standing on the side of the road for $35/$40 bucks an hour, wearing your best pair of reflector sunglasses, yakkin' with the boys from DPW, collecting addresses from passing wimmins, giving the evil eye to whom you please and free coffee all day long!

Gas in Massachusetts is cheaper than Connecticut, and people in northern Connecticut go to Massachusetts to gas up.
Now the flow will reverse?

And yet, where I live, in the State of Maine, I’m always hearing commercials on the radio by actor Jeff Daniels claiming what a great place Michigan is for starting a business and what a wonderful place to live, blah, blah, blah.
Sounds like Jeff Daniels has been having too much Jack Daniels.

I left that sh*thole of a Sate 3 months ago and everyday I feel as if I have been reborn. I never realized how much I despised those people until I left.

When the hell are these people going to look at themselves and realize the shame they have come to? Not until people stop voting for them, and probably not even then.
