I think with the recent .06 cents gas tax hike here in Mass were paying over .40 in total tax per a gallon. It's on average $3.64 a gallon regular but I also live near the supply tanks so it keeps the price about .20 a gallon cheaper than some of the rural areas.
$45 for 24 Beer, $9 for a pack of cigarettes, (don't smoke anymore) Majority of Both Tax, plus 13% taxes on everything ..... "Free Medical" we are paying for it in other ways.
I have a buddy who's originally from Nova Scotia and he told me that government medical is a joke. The extra taxes and duties are not worth the **** medical care you get from government insurance.
