Bring all the leftists on. I don't care. I love hearing their bullshit... yours too.
And I have to admit I find your predictable rants entertaining as well. Your followers though don't even come close.

Yeah.. our auto insurance is probably a little higher. I would say your property taxes are much, much higher than those here in NY. Probably easily triple mine or more.
Not to sound snobby, but if your property taxes are lower than mine, you must live in a cardboard box. I own...well in 14 years I'll own my 3 bedroom house built in 1997, and I currently pay about $2700 a yr in property taxes (includes town water and weekly garbage pickup). If you own the equilivant, I doubt you pay less in taxes.

I don't know what your sales tax is.. but it's probably close.
Mass sales tax is 5%, isn't NY like 8.5%? I was in NY city the first week in August (stayed at the Flat Hotel on 6th Ave), and I could have swore it was that high.

Income taxes... I'm willing to bet the same for NY City residents. Residents outside of NY City easily pay much less income taxes than you (except for a few counties close to the city).
Mass state income tax was reduced to 5.3% (from 5.6%) in 2002, 12% for short/long term capital gains. I'm sure though it will go back up to 5.6% for the 2003 tax year.
