For the burgs: A liberal checklist

Hello All,

Is there language in the U.S. Constitution to expel a state? I have a test case if needed!

Over the past few months, I've been researching New Hampshire. The only thing holding me here is that if I live in NH but work in MA I still have to pay MA income tax. Plus, if you file as a MA non-resident, you are not entitled to any deductions, so it becomes very pricey, in my estimation.

When I leave, I want the cord completely cut, period. These MA leeches will cease receiving any of my money, for sure. As it is, I do all my shopping (groceries, fuel, etc.) in NH as it is. Any penny, or benefit I can divert from this state, I do.

BTW, when I travel, if I am asked where I am from, I answer New Hampshire. Before "gay" marriage, Teddy K. was reason enough to hide being from MA, but with that farce, enough is enough!

Howie's a hoot!

I left Peabody MA about 3 months ago...Best thing I ever did.
NC is great. Its almost like a vacation.

I never cease to be amazed by the fact that once again, Howie is SPOT ON, and the moonbats here in Massachusetts dismiss him as the old, aging Archie Bunker mentality and laugh at those of us like-minded conservatives.

"If you are unhappy in MA (I don't blame you) why not move?"

That's the thing ...

It's hard to give up on Massachusetts, when it's such an important part of history. The country started here. But those days are long gone!

[Disturbin]

"The only thing holding me here is that if I live in NH but work in MA I still have to pay MA income tax."

And, if you continue to work in MA and pay MA state income tax, your children are not eligible for in-state tuition, unless they are illegal aliens.

A People's Republic: one in which all the conservatives have left for a Red State.

Shouldn't "burg" be "burb?"

[soccermom]

Shun kids who got into West Point? Do you have the details or a link to that story? That is outrageous -- even for Mass.

[GOPsterinMA]

Correct, the illegals need to be supported!

I do not have children...but if I did they would not be schooled in MA.

[GOPsterinMA]

I like that definition!

If you are unhappy in MA (I don't blame you) why not move?

I lived in Florida for 5 years when I retired.

I got to see my children and grandchildren once a year.

I had to watch football games with people from Pittsburg, Indianapolis and New York, even Buffalo.

In five years in Florida, I couldn't find a single convivial watering hole. There are 3,000 of 'em in Boston.

Everything in Florida will bite or eat you.

So I sold my place in Florida and went home.

Politics isn't everything.

[dakine]

You sound very wise...

"Shun kids who got into West Point? Do you have the details or a link to that story? That is outrageous -- even for Mass."

The deal is -- at the end of the school year, they put on a ceremony for graduates who are receiving scholarships. Since two of the students are getting scholarships to West Point, the superintendent of schools is refusing to allow West Point to present the scholarships to the students at the ceremony. They claim it is the school policy to not allow outsiders at the ceremony. That's total rubbish.

But the surrender monkeys at the school have backed off. See here:

Unbelievable! That is outrageous, but I'm glad to see they backed off. My husband's cousin is a democratic state rep in Mass running for the DA. (We think he's liberal, but he says that he finds himself having to convince certain constituents that he isn't conservative.) Anyway, his son went to the Air Force Academy so I know not every liberal in Massachusetts is a military-hating loon.

[Disturbin]

Yes, it's good to see the will of the people is being heard!
