[Insert Witty Title Here]

I was under the impression that state taxes were supposed to cost you less than federal. Evidently, I was mistaken. We got every penny of our federal tax withholdings refunded. However, we owed Massachusetts more than $400. What is that about?

Dear “the man”,

Please enjoy more than 400 of our hard-earned dollars. Perhaps you might consider using them to repair the roads here in MA, which, frankly, are a joke. Even the recently repaired roads here are a joke. Or perhaps you should use the money to overhaul the tax code so you stop scamming people who have no money.

Sincerely,
Colin
