State is "thinking" of a gas tax hike!

Just when you thought that the state couldn't screw us any harder than they already have, they come up with this old chestnut of an idea!

Here's an even better idea Deval "the idiot" Patrick: Stop wasting OUR money you sh*thead!!!!
All your marvelous plans for "hope and change" seen to involve taxing the hard working LEGAL residents of this state so you can fund yet another of your moronic "wet-dream" projects to continue to give money to ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!

(Everyone that voted that jackhole into office can pat themselves on
the back and give themselves a hearty "Atta boy!")

So does this mean you're for or against the state gas tax?

Illegals now get paid state $ tuition, saw that bill was signed by our Gov. Pat (choke, choke) last week or so.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

RI gas taxes are $.075/gal higher than MA. Compared to other states, Mass gas taxes are actually pretty low...

Compared to the population centers in the north east, only NJ has low gas taxes. PA, NY, CT, RI and NH are all much higher.

Comparing Mass to Alaska or Texas doesn't make a lot of sense as these are production areas and a bit far a drive to fill up.

your perpetual spinning doesn't make much sense but it is endlessly amusing

It's not spin, it's just clarification.

Got a suggestion for you.
Take a ride down to NY.
Hell, go to Montauk and fish a couple days!

Illegals outnumber everyone else.
In comparison? There's none here in MA.

Mowing lawns: illegals
Painting: illegals
Construction: illegals
Supermarkets: illegals
K-Mart: illegals
Boutique supermarkets: illegals
Fishing: illegals

Its common to see a couple dozen or so standing infront of the lumber yards/7-11/corners waiting to get picked up for under the table work. EVERY SINGLE MORNING!

Its fun being in the ER having to wait 4 GODDAMN HOURS because a bunch of THEM are there using it for their sniffles.

hell a dude who blew out his knee and was moaning in PAIN got to wait behind a family of 6 who all had a cold! And they were in the goddamn ER!

So seriously, take a ride down to the east end, enjoy the fishing, the bloated retarded prices of everything, and the illegals EVERYWHERE.
