Mass.Big Spenders: Higher Taxes is Only 1 Large Cup of Coffee a Week

The Boston Herald reports:

Have you noticed how often Gov. Deval Patrick and his coat-holding minions try to justify picking our pockets by saying they’re only lifting the cost of a cup of coffee - or maybe a turkey sandwich?

On Monday, at her conveniently scheduled Monday morning “public hearing,” it was Rachel Kaprielian, the hack Registrar of Motor Vehicles and former rep. She defended the Registry’s increased fees, saying the extra $6.50 a year theft from motorists is merely “a couple of cups of Starbucks.”

Before that, it was her boss, Deval, defending his scheme to double the state’s gas tax by claiming it would “only cost . . . the equivalent of one large cup of coffee each week, or about $8 a month.”

You'll notice that the government workforce in Mass. can't handle even a cut of one large cup of coffee a month,according to the big government types.You can understand how 10% of the Mass. state troopers make more than the Governor of the Commonwealth.
