30 Percent Rage
Howie Carr’s “Hate To Say I Told You So” to the 70 percent of Massachusetts voters who blocked the elimination of the state income tax last November. Boston Herald:
For those 2,063,891 of you Massachusetts voters who last year refused to abolish the state income tax because it wasn’t the “responsible” thing to do, I have a question. Are you happy now, dopes?
They told you if we abolished the income tax, they’d have to raise the state sales tax.
Now they’re raising the state sales tax anyway – by 25 percent.
They told you if we abolished the income tax, they’d just have to bring it back.
So now these emboldened hacks are threatening to jack the income tax up to 5.95 percent. It’s “for the children,” you know. And the most vulnerable members of our society – the ones with the welfare Cadillacs and the AAA road service that you can’t afford.
It didn’t have to happen this way. But the pinky-ring public-sector hack unions spent over $7 million on TV spots and mailings to convince you that you needed a 5.3 percent increase in your paycheck less than the hackerama did.
Boy, were you 2,063,891 stupid. No offense, but the payroll Charlies really picked your pockets this time, didn’t they? They’re handing out brand-new, six-figure jobs to all their friends and relatives, and you’re paying for it.
The hacks are no longer afraid of the taxpayers, and why should they be? Seventy percent of you can’t even figure out what your own self-interest is.
Tell me about it. Like I said at the time, to save this village we have to destroy it. In case you missed it, here are my impotent rants from a couple of days ago when these corrupt hacks voted to chisel more out of the recession-battered populace rather than see their relatives and hire-a-votes feel any pain.
The only thing I’d add about one-party rule in Massachusetts and the United State government, is as Howie notes, it’s all “for the children,” who will be saddled with the results of their inability to govern without dunning people who actually work for a living.

Hey, didn’t the American Revolution start in your neck of the woods? Get with it, people!

The best that Carr has written in a long, long, time. He’s absolutely correct, too. Once again the politicians played the voters for suckers and once again the voters acted like suckers.
