It might be a cool place to live, but 9% sales tax is totally uncool, dude...

WRONG! The government exists at the pleasure of the people.

New Hampshire, just 25 miles east, has no income tax or sales tax. Yes but they have some Hellish Property Tax.

She reminds me of RIchard II addressing Wat Tyler. "Villains ye are, villains ye remain!"

Hey, Deborah Markowitz...ever hear of "Government OF the People, BY the People, FOR the People"?
Seems you take your "People" for granted, or else you have a Soviet-style Gulag planned...given the Socialist nature of areas of Vt., that is entirely within the realm of possibility!

Wasn't it primarily liberal "Yuppies" and such trendy types who left NY for VT in the 1970s and 1980s and turned VT socialist? I don't think it was the native Vermonters.

Why do people who say things like this continue to get elected?

Did we not demonstrate about 142 yrs ago that secession would not be tolerated?

New Hampshire, just 25 miles east, has no income tax or sales tax.Um, what about the people living in that 25-mile-long zone between Killington and the NH border? Killington can't just make itself part of a state it's not even bordering.
Well okay, I guess they theoretically COULD, but is there a similar situation anywhere in the United States of a town or county belonging to one state being completely landlocked by another?

If this catches on, DuPage county may secede from the Socialist Peoples Democratic Republic of Illinois.
