Taxes In Massachusetts

I was over my parents house for dinner last night. The topic of sales taxes came up. Now I know a third of the people at the table voted for their incumbent state reps and senators. They also voted for our newly elected Governor Patrick.

Now with all things being equal, without a balance of power in this state, who will be looking out for the taxpayer? A Democrat-controlled Legislature and Democrat Governor means they will get almost anything they want. I posted my fears on November 7th. Some of them have already started manifest themselves.
