When I saw this I thought I'd post it.
Since Dougster likes to paint Mass as having high taxes, I thought you'd like to know that Mass ranks 28th in total tax burden on it's residents. That's right Mass ranks in the bottom half of the states. I lived in Mass for years and also felt its taxes were high. When I moved I realized I was wrong.
Those of you in Vermont have the least money left to buy tractors.
See where your state ranks.
