billvon 2,989 #2 April 15, 2005 > I always hear it called that but it's not even in the top 10. Why? Because it's a good way to smear democrats from massachusetts. Sort of like calling Kerry 'Skerry' or Bush 'Shrub.' Doesn't mean anything, but sounds bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mailin 0 #4 April 16, 2005 I find this hillarious.... considering it has lower taxes than 3 of the other new england states. I happen to live in the one with the highest, which is ironic for the smallest of them all JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #5 April 16, 2005 QuoteWhere is Taxachusetts Just north of Rhode tax the shit out of you Island and Connectinotcutaxes. Seriously, that label has been around for decades. I'm sure they earned it for a reason. Or it could be like BillVon pointed out, a conspiracy against liberal democrats...yeah that's it.
