Anyone have any additional insights specific to VT?
Thanks again for yet another informative thread.

Having lived in New England for more than a decade (before moving to, of all places, California) I can say with certainty that all the states have an insatiable appetite for increased taxes. The only exception (for a while) was New Hampshire and now even they have slid into the swampy waters. Only New York and California are more tax revenue intense.
Eventually you get the government you deserve, as the saying goes. The best fix is to vote down new taxes and reset lower or better yet sunset, older taxes. The corrective path can take a life time. The better solution is to move out to a lower tax state. When you do you can then spend your free time enjoying life instead of cleaning up some tax debacle left behind by a tax happy electorate who wanted a nanny sort of relationship with their government.
