I live in MA, and frankly, I'm ok with paying a little more in taxes, at the moment. The state's budget is in an awful pinch, and the Governor and the legislature aren't playing nice with one another, so we're seeing a lot of good and important social programs suffer tremendously, on account of some bad budgetary practices. Now, believe me, I would certainly like to keep as much of my hard earned money as I can, but it also pains me to see so many nursing homes, schools, shelters, and miscelaneous non-profits suffer becasue of cuts in the state budget. Never mind the condition of our roads and miscelaneous construction projects (there is a bridge near my house that has been half built for about 3 years, and hasn't been touch in as many years). paying an extra 5% here and there, and paying the taxes that, realy, we should have legally been paying all along is fine by me, if it helps the state get it's budget back in order.
