So, you agree that places with higher taxes have a higher quality of life? Thanks, I guess.

The tax is specifically on taxable income over $1M (after the loopholes).

And Massachusetts in particular is noted for having a high quality of life.

Where, what?

I'm about to do some googling, but Im curious what you're basing that on. Like most things, this seems n subjective.

It's like when people point to how expensive a state is while denying that it is expensive because so many people want to live there.

It’s funny to say you’re ignoring the abundance of places that do have lower taxes and are also much better places to live.

The only places better than Massachusetts all dont all have higher taxes despite your original asinine claim…

But they, people love living in a bubble.

You mean the guy who thinks average tax rate is relevant to a discussion about taxable income over $1M?

I would ask you to name some of these abundant places, but between the lame insults and embarrassing grammar, I don't actually care what you have to say. I provided sources for the high standard of living, and marginal tax rates are easy to find.

Enjoy your bubble.
