Thirty years ago, Massachusetts was known as ‘Taxachusetts’. Now it has lower taxes than nearby states.
Why? The voters in MA put the brakes on. They made it clear that social liberalism is OK, but lay off the tax and spend. The politicians got the message.
Just to make sure, they keep electing a GOP governor.
But if there is one thing a Senator can’t do, it’s raise Massachusetts income and property tax. They’re safe ensconced in their office in Washington DC.
Hope this helps...
Thanks.

Exactly, they’re all in favor of big government as long as the bill is spread around nationally, that’s why they usually vote for a Republican governor.
