MA gets a small percentage of my tax. I am sure the same applies to those that work in MA and live outside the state.

I'm in the same boat as you, Jimmy. But I wouldn't say that Mass gets a "small amount of my tax". Mass gets it's share and RI gets its share. It's called a "piggy back" or reciprocal tax. I have payroll take out extra each week so I don't get killed at tax time. I learned the hard way a couple of years ago. I guess if Mass raises the gas tax, I'll buy all of my gas in RI and feel like I'm making out a little.
