Take a look at Massachusetts .. The Democrats have been running the
state forever.

And, because of that, we have a local tax burden lower than the
national average. We have one of the best school systems in the
country, with the highest ratings on all four of the the standardized
tests (reading and math, 4th and 8th grades) of any of the states.
Crime rates are well below the national average, with one of the
lowest murder rates in the country. Also, our suicide rate is almost
the lowest in the country. The major health care systems are rated
amongst the best in the country.


It sure looks like the Dems made a mess of things. I suppose its best
if you stayed well clear.

Like I said, a rich ruling class and a poor working class groveling at
their feet. Socialism is alive and well in Taxachussetts.

I guess you didn't read that report yourself. All it says is that the
most wealthy don't spend as much of their incomes on certain taxable
items, especially sales tax or excise tax items. And, the report is a
"standard form" that the web site offers for just about every state.
In fact, MA is actually quite fair, with an equal burden shared by 95%
of the state. And, the local tax on the poor is 20% lower than the
national average, one of the lowest in the country.

Compare this to your state. Florida is listed as the second most
regressive, with the local tax on the poor over 50% higher than
Massachusetts!

Its pretty clear you have neither the inclination nor ability to
actually determine the truth about even simple issues.

Get a clue, man. Florida has NO income tax. Zero, zip, nada. Sales taxes
are in line with most other states and there is no sales tax on
groceries.

Look at the dollar figure on the chart. Massachusetts taxpayers fork
over $5,047 dollars per year. Only exceeded by Connecticut, New Jersey
and New York.

You lose!

It appears that the concepts of "as a percentage of income" and "per
capita" income are lost on you.

You are F'n nuts. Either you have never lived anywhere else, or you are
part of the problem.

As for your schools ... They Suck!

U Mass .... aka Zoo Mass.

Why is it that all the rich pols in your great state send their kids to
private school?

You know of any Kennedys who attend public school? Did John Kerry go to
public school? Teddy? Deval Patrick?

Nope ... private school.


And as for the crime rate .... are you kidding. There is a murder a day in
Boston ..

Oh,, they are Black ... guess that doesn't count.


Really, you are making a fool of yourself ..

Not for nothing, but I believe that MOST politicians, from MOST states, send
their kids to private schools. Public schools are for the plebs.

That must be why its so highly rated. I'm guessing you weren't accepted.


Why is it that all the rich pols in your great state send their kids to

Because they can. Just like rich folks all over the country. But the
public schools are the best in the country. In fact, the high schools
in my town were rated on a par with the best private schools.


You know of any Kennedys who attend public school? Did John Kerry go to
public school? Teddy? Deval Patrick?

Nope ... private school.

So? Do you have a point? Have you ever had a point?




And as for the crime rate .... are you kidding. There is a murder a day in
Boston ..

???? Are you serious? Do you just make up this stuff as you go
along? Are you so stupid as to think I wouldn't actually have the
data on hand?

Its true that the Boston murder rate has gone up dramatically in the
last couple of years. But its still only 73 in the last reported
year. The entire state had 175 for the full year, or 2.7 per 100,000.
There were 13 states with lower rates, most of them rural with low
populations. The national average is 5.6 per 100,000, more than twice
the MA rate.

Oh,, they are Black ... guess that doesn't count.
What a racist thing to say.


Really, you are making a fool of yourself ..

Only in that I waste time with ignorant scum like you. But someone
else might find it informative.

Glad to see that the crime problem is under control. Tell that to the
family of the young Black girl who was gunned down in front of an
elementary school the other day.

Or .. better yet ... Mary Joe Kopecney...

Is she still in Teddy's car under water?

The ******* left her to drown ,, she died stuck in a car in 6 feet of water.

The murdering drunk.. your Senator!

I hope you are proud.


Me? It makes me sick when I think of that girl struggling to free herself.
And where was Teddy? He was running for his life.

The fat drunk.. running ... trying to get away... so what if a young girl
dies..


Great State ..
