They do pay Bob, I work in RI, live in MA and 90% of my taxes go to RI.
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. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

So you pay virtually nothing here but think I shouldn't get a pension.
Up yours. |

if you work in ma, you pay ma income tax
if you live in ma but work in another state, you pay ma the difference between ma tax and the other state's tax if that states tax is less tha ma. so if you live in ma and work in nh (no income tax) you pay full ma income tax on the income you earn in nh.

I suggested that one potential solution to save INCREASES in taxes was to look at the pension system for public employees. The pension system costs taxpayers 1.7 Billion per year and is a benefit most employees do not get.
I guess I'm crazy, lets increase the gas tax by .27 cents. That will bascially eat up any "stimulus" people receive from Obama and will further drive those in need, further in the hole. Silly of me to think there was a solution other than raising taxes! |
