State senate raises sales tax :(
Terrible but unsurprising news: the Massachusetts state senate voted to raise the sales tax by 25%, as well as repealing the sales tax exemption on alcohol. Big surprise, the big-government-supporting, socialist thieves won, and freedom and justice lost.
All the senators who voted in favor of the tax increase, as well as everyone who protested in favor of it at the state house, should be ashamed! Thanks for taking away my money and my liberty.
According to the Boston Globe article:
“Maybe we should call this the New Hampshire economic stimulus bill,” Senator Robert L. Hedlund, a Weymouth Republican, said with sarcasm.
Right on, Senator Hedlund!
Edit: Go to Hub Politics to see how all the senators voted. If your senator voted yea, then vote them out!
