Tax me harder daddy.It starts out with shit like this: "Wow, my vehicle registration was so cheap in ______ compared to California, they could charge twice as much and I'd still be happy!"

Was talking to someone in planning and permits the other day. She said she anticipated a crush on new permits by the end of the year. She added that this is a carryover year and they can follow 2018 international residential code until 1/1/25. The 2021 IRC will add a lot of cost to new construction regarding taller joists for more insulation for green initiatives and gfci throughout basements. Not sure how true but if it is new construction going to get more expensive…

Lol 😆 it keeps the wealthy out!Gotta maintain that backwater economy so that we can ensure we’re too poor to replace bridges that get washed out.

There's unfortunately a lot to be said for that.
Rich people fuck up everything, likely in part because they've paid away any "real problems" that would otherwise keep them occupied.

The difference is that I'm not going to leave and then start spewing lies about how there's "good ones."Careful, you live in Mass, you're basically an eastern Californian.

So incredibly ironic coming from the guy who blames every life challenge on Boomers.
And lives in the commie shithole of Taxachussetts.
Oh and the paved roads there are rougher then the dirt roads around here. LolCareful, you live in Mass, you're basically an eastern Californian.

The taxes are pretty unremarkable.
It's the people that make this place unredeemable.
Same goes for New York.

Get off my lawn, punk!
You believe yourself to be a conservative, but are comparing yourself to the freak leftists around you. You have hoisted your points of view around this place openly for years. You are not conservative, not by a long shot. Stay the fuck west of Nevada please.

I live on a paved state highway. Less then a mile away is a dirt road with about 20 houses on it. Sugaring season which as you know corresponds with mud season in vt. The couple wealthy folks are raising a ruckus because the road is soup. Well maybe 20 Amazon delivery's and fedx and ups a day.isn't helping! Naw it's the sap trucks.

Why would 20 deliveries take 20 trucks???
It should be 3 trucks. Amazon, UPS, and FedEx???
each delivery isn't on it's own truck.

I've come to realize that that shit doesn't actually matter day to day if you're not a gun guy (and none of them follow the laws so it doesn't really matter to them either). The state will impoverish or kill you over capricious shit in a red state with good gun laws just the same (or even more readily in a lot of cases). If you do have to defend yourself it's a simple question of who the local prosecutor is which has to do more with the local area than the overall state.
If you want to be one of those boot licking "law abiding citizen" pieces of shit the red states are absolutely better but if you want to obey the bare minimum of laws the blue states can be better because there's more lawlessness to blend into.
NH is a little better. VT and ME are about the same or a little worse, depends on what kind of property you own and how your income is structured. The northeast in general has high taxes
If you're gonna pull shit out of your ass to try and make a point you should pick subjects that don't come with fancy infographics that even the dumbest boomers can understand.

That road would be paved in Maine despite roughly equivalent tax burdens and road miles per dollar per capita.
So they do kinda have a point, where's the money going?

I've had FedEx to my place twice in the same day...different drivers.
Same with Amazon.
I've seen 2 Amazon trucks in the same hood at the same time.

Maryland is much, much worse than MA, so is NJ.Basically?
Ah fuck them! It's a town road. 600 taxpayers. Steep hills, so why should we pay for the real work to pave a road that 20 taxpayers live on? And Maine is pretty flat in the populated areas.
do you blame them for wanting to stay in a familiar place? i dont, not to mention if they move somewhere else there is a high risk for increased tax liabilities on property taxes in addition to capital gains especially in scotts valley.
this is why insurance companies are bailing on high cost places. the would go bankrupt on rebuilds if there was a significant event.

ive watched amazon deliver to my house on two different trucks within minutes of each other. they prioritize delivery times over efficiency.

And maybe it's a private "non-county" road. I lived on a private dirt road in Ramona, California that was a muck-hole every winter when it rained.

Says the guy who not only carpetbagged to a not yet ruined state, he imported a whole family of Californians with him.Basically?
The DC area is a special kind of hell. It's like all the boot licking of the rich parts of the Boston area cranked to 11. I have never before seen such a high proportion of people who are a substantially negative value to society.
NJ didn't bother me too much. Everything was shitty and expensive like NY but there seemed to be more typical disregard for the law and therefore more day to day freedom. I'm sure it varies by area though.

They all do. I get Amazon, UPS, and FedEx deliveries at my office daily and it's not uncommon for us to get 5-6 different trucks in a day and I'll still see different trucks from all 3 companies go up and down this road to other businesses all day long.

If you're in the service area of multiple warehouses shit will come from different warehouses depending on what the algorithm says is best.

Texas 7.6%... Well Figure in property tax AND Sales Tax on any product bought (outside of groceries) ??
Sales tax is 8.25 % on taxable items... in most of Texas that people actually live in. And sales tax IS LOCAL TAXES.
state law says the local cant be higher than 8.25%. some are lower, some are maxed out.
the graphic says "percentage of personal income paid to state and local taxes". you dont spend all your income buying things.
so they are probably taking the median income in the state and the median SALT (property and sales tax) spending and getting the percentage.
i can see it working out.
