Tolls for the Bunker Hill Bridge
 
As I predicted many times, not only will the tolls on the Pike continue to rise, but there will be tolls on every major interstate sooner than later. Watch as the barn doors open this year and the horses run out.

Hey, WTF? Why do you hate Taxachusetts so much? Just leave will ya. Move to Siberia or something. If you don't like tolls, then ride your bike, stay home, or walk. :p

Seriously though, so about that cost of living thing...

Hey, they need the money Wistah.

Quote:

The House, perhaps sensing the good news, voted Saturday to increase the $28 billion budget proposed by the Ways and Means Committee by $200 million before sending it on to the Senate. A $12.4 million tourism line item in the committee budget ballooned to $34.2 million, thanks to spending on such attractions as the Boston Symphony Orchestra summer home at Tanglewood ($200,000), the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield ($300,000), the Grand Army of the Republic Museum in Lynn ($100,000), the Waltham Tourism Council ($100,000), and the Central Square Theater in Cambridge ($100,000). The state has more pressing responsibilities.
Especially since this other yike isn't enough.
Quote:

The rush comes despite an economic downturn and just weeks after House lawmakers approved a dollar hike in the tax on a pack of cigarettes. The estimated $175 million from that tax is slated to help pay for the rising cost of the state's landmark health care law.

Now if we could only figure out why people are leaving this state. http://www.prosportsdaily.com/forums.../psd2shrug.gif

Yeah--I don't live in Mass, and the amount you guys have to pay down there pisses ME off too.

You know why? Because a whole lot of YOU guys are moving up HERE, and you know what that means? Y'all get up here and the first things you do is look around and say "we need this service" and "that service" and then the next thing you know my property taxes are going up $10 or $20 a thousand to pay for the 3 new firetrucks and the school lacrosse team and whatnot.

Christ. Vote in people to lower the cost of living in Mass and stay the hell in your own state. :mad:



:D:D

The whole country will be doing these things in a couple of years once the Prince Obama gets coronated but it will be worth it, imagine all the beautiful speeches he will give, when he smooths his tie at his first State Of The Union Speech every democrat in America will faint.

Obama's Taxes are Glorious Taxes.

GOD BLESS PRINCESS MICHELLE

:bricks:

They'll have to carry Uncle Teddy out on a Fork Truck, Uncle Jeremiah will be up in the balcony with Princess Michelle, when Prince Barack introduces him Jeremiah will stand up and scream "God Damn America" all the democrats will give him a standing ovation.

Praise Allah Death To God Damn America

Oh, I could care less about the tolls. I live out here in the boonies. Just bragging because I - and ONLY I - saw this coming. None of you other goofs did. Just me! So THERE!

Well, the myth that Massachusetts has especially high taxes is easily debunked. In fact, such liberal states as Kansas, Ohio, Utah, and South Carolina rank higher than we do:

And looks who's number 2: Maine!
