Massachusetts tax burden as a percentage of income is about median for the 50 states. Far lower than Maryland, for instance. Massachusetts state debt is rate AAA+, considerably better than the U.S. Government. There is a very strong anti-government, anti-tax sentiment in most of Massachusetts.
yeah... uh, huh. Maybe in your house.... but "most" is just not or can't be right. If it were a bastion of anti-government, anti-taxes then the fine representatives of your state must belong to the finest voter fraud outfit in the country, protected by the courts.
