Trust me I completely agree with the state being in your pocket. The Northeast is a strange place. You can pretty much do anything you want in Vermont and NH.... and CT and NY limit your 2A rights even more than Massachusetts.... of course it could be better but it could also be worse...could live in California! lol

Texas is a property tax state. We don't tax income of any sort, including pensions and retirement funds. Usually for retirees, an income tax state is more desirable since theoretically what you own free and clear by that point in life is more valuable than your income. If you save up for your entire career, then come here and drop all that money on the retirement property of your dreams, you'll be on the hook for a substantial chunk of change every year until you die. Then someone else will have to start paying that bill. Depending on where you drop anchor, that could be as much as 4-5% of the property value annually.

Also a MA resident here. My truck came from a dealer in Haverhill who, after asking me to come back a week after I took delivery for the inspection, stated that they "couldn't do it" because it was "too big". You SOLD ME THE TRUCK!!! There were a few other little aggravations so after a short and curt conversation with the sales manager, I haven't been back since. Imagine selling a truck and then claiming a week later you can't inspect it! Ah well, I have been going to the same place in Arlington, MA for years and that hasn't changed. He's one of the only commercial truck stations in the area. Even though it's still a passenger vehicle and costs $35 or whatever, it still needs to be a commercial station.

NC is a fairly laid back state for the most part. But they will take your money if they can as with most other states. We're definitely one of those states that if you're pulling a toy hauler thousands of lbs. past your GCWR, NCHP still won't really care.
Two things that I know some other states don't do but NC does: vehicle state inspections including emissions and NC property tax every year on your car's value. Its a racket.
