I don't like these kinds of things going around at work...
But, in reference to this particular situation; is it the people in MA, or everywhere, but how do people think things we take for granted get paid for?
Like roads? Schools? Bridges? Police? Etc., Etc.
If these complainers can think of a better way to pay for things, then let them speak.

If the gas tax is raised, maybe people will think about changing their driving habits. I know I did when the prices went up last year. I don't commute as much as some, but I sure changed the way I do things when it comes to driving.

Maybe I am an old liberal, but I get sick of all this complaining.
