yeah right.

they will take the money from somewhere else. it's not like we won't pay in one way shape or form.

expect your property taxes to go up....the difference is only people who own property will be penalized now.

brilliant idea....

elimination of income tax in MA. i don't think there is a benefit because it's not like the state is rolling around in a surplus of money, so by eliminating income tax, they are going to create a deficit. eventually we will have to pay....

It depends on what you believe. If you really think the state will allow itself to lose 40% of it's income a year and that money will go in your pocket then that's reason enough. Thing is not everyone will gain from yes on 1. Read this, more specificly read the arguments in favor and against the question. Then think to yourself if you qualify to make any money from it being passed. Personally I stand to gain nothing from it but I would love money if (more like when) the state decides to make it's money back by boosting property taxes or whatever else they decide to hike up.

Personally, I live on a sh*tty soldier salery (okay, it's not that bad, but lets face it, I'm no 4 star general making 6 figures) and I don't feel like losing more money than I have to.

That, however, is just my .02, which as we all know, openions are like @$$holes, everyone has one and they all stink.

The state actually was rolling around in money when romney was in office, who was the one who proposed eliminating the income tax.

From what i have heard the income tax only contributes a small portion to towns so property taxes may increase but wont negate the total savings of not having income tax.

PS, where the crap have you been?! I havent heard from you in a while, hows it going?

brian: check the torque on your upper shock mount and shaft nut (hehe). remember that you have to torque/tighten those bolts when the car's under load. it sounds like they may have been tightened with the wheels off the ground and are loose once it's down...

PM me with what you find and i'll try to help some more

So i got my intake installed. It is teh sex.

I got pulled over when i was driving around after installing it. Was it cuz i was flying around all pumped about my intake? NO. Its because there were two cops stopped in the middle of the road (2 lanes) side-by-side talking to one another. One pulls to the side and I go around. Soon after i see flashing lights behind me. Says to me: Did you see us stopped back there? To which i say yes. He says "I didnt think you were gonna stop." I clearly stopped and waiting for the guy to pull to the side, i wasnt even moving quick. Sees my PA license, gives me a hard time about that. Tells me I had to get one the day i moved to Mass, which is wrong!! Then he tells me that i was going 44 in a 35, how the **** does he know that? Was pulled over talking to his cop friend. He runs my crap, sits in his car for a long time, which means im getting a ticket. Comes back and gives me a written warning for Speeding. Gives me a hard time about the license again telling me i have to retake the driving test in Mass which is also WRONG. ****ing guy doesnt even know the laws and he is enforcing them?

Im pissed that I got a written warning when I didnt even deserve one.

Welcome to MA my friend. At least he didn't write you a ticket for the wing which is OEM.

Damn, unless bill can match this price, if you are interested in a 3 Bar MAP sensor there is a wicked good GB going on:
