OK....let's do some simple math here.A homeowner living in the area making,say,50K/yr.Sales tax 11%....state income tax 5% (or more?)....city/county income tax (don't know if one exists)....property tax ($2,000...$3,000...$4,000 a year)....
Wow! From now one I'll think twice before I refer to my home,the Gay State,as "Taxachusetts".
