Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
They aren’t paying the highest marginal tax rates, that’s what the loopholes are for. Trusts are well known for this exact scenario.
Nice cop out.
Eh… be proud of the lower taxes and quality of life if you want I guess.
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 pretty easy to search: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=quality%20of%20life%20Massachusetts&ko=-1&ia=web
Sure, it's somewhat subjective. But it's fairly consistent, and not just me making stuff up.
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.
