If you think Mass is effed up move to RI and then maybe I might have some sympathy for your plight.
We here in RI by far have easily the most stupid human being to ever live be elected to the seat of Governor(or for that matter anything electable).This is a man who so far has done zero other than try to fight for the life of some scumbag who killed a man in broad daylight,scattering his brains all over a sidewalk outside a Woonsocket bank.Oh and he wants it called a Holiday Tree and he wants to tax EVERYTHING.And as a working man don't even let me get into bridge tolling.
Cry me a river.Spend a year or two here in RI and you'll be screaming to move back to Mass.

Just because RI is a trash heap doesn't mean we in MA can't complain about the ever-increasing taxes and regulations this state pushes through. Also, anyone who moves to RI should have their head checked. If you hate it so much, move. |

Same can be said about MA...or any state you live in.
We have a great Interstate Highway system in this country....if people hate the state they live in they can always use it to leave.... |

Holy crap Johnny was that really called for?Did I ever say you could not complain?
If I could afford to move I would but I'm all growed-up with a mortgage,a family and all the bills that go with it.Would you move with 7 more years on your mortgage?
Think before you speak kid. |

Exactly the response I thought I would get.
Youth knows everything and then one day you get some responsibility and before you know you're 40+ and you then realize you didn't know jack squat in your youth.
Wait until you have a kid and you'll really get it,or even more so take on someone else's kid!Then you buy a house and then have 30yrs of mortgage bills.College for the kid...can't forget that!All that and the stupid bills like red garbage bags and a hundred other taxes that workers/homeowners have to deal with.
Johnny and I mean this very seriously...until you actually have some real world experience stop giving advice and opinions on subjects you have ZERO experience with.But that will never happen because I keep forgetting you already know everything and have life figured out already.
Forgot a responsibility,how about taking care of those sick and dying parents?That'll a real treat for you but I'm sure you already know what to do.
I'll cry you no river.I lived it and my crying has already been done.

You talk like you have any clue about me and my life.
meh...
I certainly don't have it all figured out and learn more and more every day. I make mistakes every single day and will continue to do so until they put me in the ground. However, someone that thinks that their entitled and automatically correct just because they're a bit older certainly isn't the person for anyone to learn it from.
I'm not the only one that could demonstrate a bit more humility and to be knocked down a rung or two. I may not be as "old and wise" as you are, but I sure am glad that I'm not half as pissy.

Back on Subject...
I believe the Masterminds in the Peoples Republic of MA proposed it and it will somehow get slipped in in the Democratic Republic of Rhode Island as a test case for the rest of the New England. That is if they can ram it down our throats as an environment saver when in reality it is another way to confiscate the fruits of the hard work we do.
