I think MA is probably the state with the best "bang for buck" in terms of what the government provides per dollar of taxes paid. NY is comparatively insulting

I think MA is probably the state with the best "bang for buck" in terms of what the government provides per dollar of taxes paid. NY is comparatively insulting to reside in, because the government is so wasteful/corrupt there and is therefore capable of providing so much less (not to mention its legendary ability to stall legislation indefinitely).
