Vermont is one piece of work. They don't want signs, they don't want industry, they don't want commerce. They just want you to pay taxes for nothing. They want non-resident property owners to pay for everything they want because the non-residents "Can pay mroe so they should pay more."
It's never the case that they will work harder for more.
They people of that state has not the first idea of where money comes from. They tend to all believe it falls from the sky, and in a way, for them it does. Were the snow to fail one year, they'd all die.
