Ding! You win a cookie! I couldn't have said it any better! In terms of armpits Masshole is a pro among amateurs!
Paul Artreides hates the Mass system as much as you and I. You are wrong on calling him on this point. No one of any intelligence would support Mass government. I will give you a hint as to why Libs you may have known(And I still know!) might have favored this Mass system. I am assuming you think SOME libs you have known were intelligent. Mass is basically KEynesian economics run on crack.
I do not respect Keynes the way Liberals do but I will submit that Keynesian economics is good sometimes in limited quantity. The whole thing in Mass is that this philosophy is almost thier religion.
MONEY FOR JOBS, MONEY FOR JOBS, MONEY FOR JOBS! This is thier mantra and they do not care where the money comes from. Look at the big dig. I have long maintained(Five YEars on this point anyway.) that Boston is no longer a self-supporting economic entity and it needs state and federal funds to survive.
Look at the Big Dig. Boston had IMAGINARY jobs that paid 200000$ a year of of taxpayer money... FEDERAL money. A Keynsian(SP?) economist would say that the money was being "Re-Circulated," into the economy. Maybe so, but it is time to look past dollars(They are wrong economically ANYWAY!) and look at PRINCIPLE! Why SHOULD people from Iowa pay taxes to make IMAGINARY jobs for people in Mass? IT IS WRONG!!!
MAss is run by the Acedamia with the labor vote following them even though they DISAGREE with the Leftist policy. Why... MONEY.
The problem is not going away soon, Mass is a plague state IMHO. Look at NH and Florida. MAss has the Human Plague.
