Sales tax sends Mass. shoppers to New Hampshire and the Internet

Today I saw an ad on TV urging consumers in Western Massachusetts to avoid the Internet and shop locally to support the local community. Well, that would have been a noble thought except the sales tax in the Bay State recently jumped up to 6.25% to pay for Beacon Hill's runaway corruption and spending.

The upshot? People are spending more in gas money to trek to New Hampshire than they would ever save in sales tax. Let's say it's out of principle.

Some of us just like to breath some air and smell the freedom for a little while.
