Another example why we were once called Taxachusetts.

That's why Govt. is the first form of legalized stealing.
With the Big Dig, there has been a lot of talk of raising tolls or the gas tax to pay for it. $3.00 tolls near Boston would go to $6.00. That didn't go over well with commuters. With the gas tax raise, they say all but a few tolls will go away.
When the turnpike was paid off, the tolls were supposed to go way. Well, it's been paid off umpteen years ago and the tolls are still there.
Other states still have a higher gas tax, but if this increase go through, we will be the highest.
