  1. Exactly 💯 that's why it's so important who you vote for up and down the ballet. Every election and position is important.

  2. If only some of that money was spent on cleaning up the corruption in the Mass state police, specifically the Norfolk DA’s office. IYKYK. Mass is where your constitutional rights go to die.

  3. Boston and NYC are amazing places to live. Things happen there every second of every day. Jonesboro, AR can’t offer that. Miami does a lot of it but it’s not the same. It’s really hard to replace the life in those cities and an extra $10,000 in tax aren’t worth moving.

  4. why does anyone care if the rich go? they take money from regional economy, not put it in. if they want something they buy it from other rich people elsewhere, who buy from other rich people elsewhere, and so on. if they don't pay taxes, not one penny of what they've drained will ever be seen again.

  5. Vermont should do the same! There's a bunch of millionaires in Vermont. Not a lot, but definitely a bunch. Perhaps a bushel.

  6. Because Billionaires wont make multi-million dollar investments in ignorant, pissed off red neck trailer parks. They need clean surroundings, good transportation for shipping and receiving. A well educated workforce and low crime. But you got holy Joe demanding they vote for Christians! Oklahoma OK?

  7. The wealthy keep moving to MA & gladly pay the tax - for quality of life, quality schools, healthy labor force, healthy kids. It’s not perfect but it’s getting there.

  8. The entire idea makes me laugh. If everyone is capable of "pulling themselves up by the bootstraps" and becoming a millionaire/billionaire... Who cares if they leave an area? Or the country? Someone else would just take their place... Right?

  9. At this point the extremely wealthy are mooching off the rest of us anyway, who cares, let 'em leave. They can go find somewhere else to not pay taxes (or, realistically, pay much higher taxes in most any other place they'd want to move to.)

    As someone who voted for this, we can feel the difference.

    In the year this went into effect, we were able to hire a fantastic head for our public transit agency and remove decades of slow zones and maintenance issues.

    Every kid in Massachusetts is guaranteed breakfast and lunch at school.
