Massachusetts. Where you’re punished for being successful. That’s coming from someone who isn’t remotely close to being a millionaire.

Hell yeah brother. Fuck the fact that people making over a million now need to pay their fair share in taxes.

Or they’ll just leave. And the state won’t attract other wealthy individuals. It was a lazy law made to make average people feel warm and fuzzy. I’m fine with a progressive tax rate. Increasing the amount taxed over a million by 80% was dumb and will hurt the state in the long run.

We're talking about a 4% increase only on the dollars over a million. So if you made $2 million, $40,000 more. Overall a 2% increase in that example.

The quality of life difference those dollars make at that level is negligible.

If you want to bitch about taxes, let's start with the gas tax.

Last I checked, 4% increase on a 5% tax is an 80% increase.
