Now get ready to slurp BG editorial shit, readers:
"A muddy message on taxes
State Representative George Peterson, Republican, said he also might vote for the ballot question and is telling constituents to do the same. Why? Because he believes Beacon Hill needs to hear the message that a "yes" vote sends: Due to out-of-control spending, the state budget is unsustainable and has been for a long time.
That is one twisted message.
From Beacon Hill to Capitol Hill, leadership is in short supply these days, particularly on pocketbook issues. It's hard to find a politician willing to tell taxpayers the unpleasant truth: They can't have it all. Tax cuts and popular government programs are incompatible.
Of course, "flushing . . . millions of dollars away supporting a highly profitable industry" when it comes to $300 million in taxpayer dollars for Hollywood is o.k., even as the price of a school lunch rises; paying $13 million for a computer software system that could have cost less than $3 million is all right because the winner was a close friend of the House speaker, even as my poorer-than-dirt district "has been struggling to close a $2 million budget gap."; the lottery shelling out "millions of dollars" for sports tickets for "lottery officials, their family members, and friends" is fine, even as schools are closing; making interest payments to banks to the tune of "a staggering $22 billion" for the Big Pit, as we call it around here, is required, even as bridges are neglected across the state; and again, paying off banks like UBS, who can "demand repayment of an additional $2 million a month beginning in January" while also receiving a "$179 million payment," while the state pension fund loses $1 billion dollars -- which still didn't stop the executive director from carving himself a nice "$64,000 bonus on top of his $322,000 annual salary."
Oh, and did I not mention the $1 BILLION dollar giveaway to the pharmaceutical corporations, even though "it's never been easy to turn a profit in biotech?" Flush that money away, too, taxpayer. Of course, the war looters were next in line for a handout. And should the state be appropriating money for a "multimillion-dollar reconstruction" of golf courses?
Nor is it RECKLESS to BORROW the STATE INTO OBLIVION so they can PAY INTEREST to BANKS while SITTING ON $2 BILLION DOLLARS!
Yup, keep the income tax because we need to KEEP SERVICES!!
Come hither, Boston Globe, I have something for you.
PFFFFFFFTTT!
Voters have many reasons to be angry about events that are spiraling out of control, from Wall Street to their own street.
Yeah, and I JUST LISTED a BOODLE ABOVE!!!!
Home values are down. The dollars that Americans have invested in their children's education or their own retirement funds are shrinking, too. Then there are the local headlines, about police details and pension abuse. How tempting to channel all that frustration and vote "yes" on Question 1.
Yeah, that is as close as the Globe gets to the looting of the taxpayers... by getting on COPS and FIREFIGHTERS!
You know, REGULAR PEOPLE, not SHIT-STINKING ELITES like themselves!!!!
But also, how irresponsible. --more--"
FUCK YOU, you AGENDA-PUSHING PIECE of ZIONIST SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need more outrage?
From TODAY'S GLOBE:
Town officials... are trying to decide how much of a property tax break to offer and how they can secure state funding for infrastructure improvements.... although it could take several years for the studio to realize its economic potential."
Yeah, but the Globe is ALL FOR THAT!!!
FUCK YOU, you AGENDA-PUSHING PIECE of ZIONIST SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
