The estimated haul is already $800 million more than what Governor Maura Healey and state lawmakers planned to spend from its revenue in fiscal year 2024.

    Cool, let’s make every state force these leeches to pay their fair share. Solved.

      The top 15% already pay over 97% of tax revenue while the bottom 51% not only pay nothing, many actually make money. So who are the leeches, again?

        What percentage of their income do billionaires and corporations pay? The stats you bootlicking self flagellates like to point at mean actually nothing.

          More than you. And I’m not a bootlicker, I’m the boot…and I’m tired of the government trying to find ways to take more of my money to give to underachieving losers

            Right. So tax the oligarchs enough that they pay what they owe society, and then we can tax regular people less. Solved.
