The overwhelming majority of MA residents don't pay property taxes in NH. It's intellectually dishonest to say "Our taxes pay to send your kids to school" when you are paying a completely voluntary tax for whatever recreational or investment purposes you might have.

I work in MA and pay income tax. I can't vote in MA (legally) I have no say as to where that money goes and I can't just up and quit because I don't feel like paying a tax. I don't have property there that is being defended, I get no benefit from those tax dollar whatsoever.

People that live in NH and work in MA pay more in tax dollars then people that live in MA and play in NH.

And when you come down here, we don't peg you as a "New Hampshire-hole," or whatever ridiculous epithet one of our third graders could cook up while bored and nothing good was on television.

Therein lies the point, genius. Get it?
