BTTT
taxes maybe? how about single party state and corruption?
Massachusetts is Old Europe right here in America.
Cost of living, I'd say. It necessarily puts a squeeze on those in the middle and lower-middle income groups. And their financial betters also would not mind living in cheaper place, like NH ["live free or die anyway"] the next door.
Speaking as a refugee from the Peoples State of Taxachusetts:
> In which Ted Kennedy keeps getting reelected.
The problem with Teddy is not only that he represents MA,
but since they keep re-electing him, that he really is
representative of MA voters.
In MA, everything that isn't outlawed is mandatory,
unless it's heavily taxed.
But I read right here on Free Republic that the economy is booming in Massachusetts. Jobs for everyone.
I know better. The state is hurting.
Gee, you would think with gay marriage, people would be flocking to this mecca of family values.
Two words - Kennedy and Kerry.
Well who is voting for these lousy senators if it's not the populace?
The bad part of this is that these Mass. refugees are moving to states with more sane governments bringing their stupid voting habits with them. Watch as NH and Maine become more blue as Mass. becomes more empty. Instead of one screwed up state we will have three.
The reason the electorate remains leftist is this: the more conservative one is, the more likely that one will leave.
Yet those on the dole stay, along with the intellectual elitists.
Harvard and the slums. All literally throwing money down the rathole (bigdig).
It is a good thing to keep them bunched up in groups, this way. Mecca and Boston.
The Massachusetts disease has spread to New York State where droves leave and the countryside and cities are being depopulated.
All that is left is unionists, limousine liberals, civil servants/bureacrats and educationists, and the rest are self destructing weighed down by the evil twin albatrosses of high taxes and oppressive regulations.
There is no evidence of the political leanings of the people who are moving out in this article. For all we know the liberals could be moving out to corrupt other states with liberal colonies.
They wouldn't have this problem if they shared a border with Mexico.
LOLOL...unfortunately they take their liberal America hating views and inflict them on red states.
My wife (from Massive2shitts) had 4 siblings. Two of them still live in Mass. The other three all live in NH. (Well, her brother died, but he lived in NH for many years before he died.)
Two main reasons:
1. Smart conservative citizens are sick of the taxes, and corrupt liberal governments.
2. Drunk liberal idiots and leftist homosexuals don't do a good job of procreating.
I was born and raised in Maine but elected to leave the state for a better job. The job I landed (in the late 70s) was in MA but, even though I wasn't especially politically minded back then I was smart enough to realize that becoming a MA resident was not a good move. Have lived in NH ever since. In a couple of years we are going to move back to Maine and will take our conservative ways with us (which Maine badly needs).
