This would be fair if dentists were somehow underpaid. They are not, they never have been and they make most of their money on cosmetic stuff.

If dentists get paid more, that cost just gets shifted by the insurance companies onto consumers. The insurance company will not sacrifice at all, despite what the people behind this question would have you believe. The insurance industry literally doesn't care what dentists charge, as long as the customer is willing to pay the premiums.

Most businesses actually don't pay 6 figures to most of their employees. You must live in some magic fantasy land where someone earning $100k/year is considered poor instead of the real world where it's considered above average pay.

I mean I get it, some people just enjoy jerking off at the thought that a few millionaires get forced to donate some extra money to the state.

But let's be realistic, the state government is horribly mismanaged and most of the beneficiaries of any tax increase are public sector unions.

It's not really sarcastic. It frankly makes no sense to let voters vote to raise taxes on a very small subset of the population while simultaneously benefiting from a tax rebate because the state collected too much money.

It's often a lot more and the number of places you can fly to directly from there is a fraction of what Logan offers.

$18 but I've got 4 people in my family. The math isn't as appealing.

Logan express to/from the suburbs costs way more than $3

I don't think anyone suggests charging the 7 year old, but the parents should be held accountable somehow.

It's the idea that since the child's parents were also born into poverty, that it's not the parents' fault that they behave irresponsibly, and that by punishing the parents, you increase the likelihood that this child will grow up to be irresponsible as well, and the cycle will continue to repeat itself.

Basically, it means that they should get a free pass since they already suffered enough. The problem with this of course is that it creates two classes of people in society-those who can follow common sense laws and those who get a free pass to do whatever they want because they are apparently incapable of determining right from wrong.

It's not so simple when you've got a lot of bags, kids in car seats etc.

What is the draw of Logan Express? Pay an insane amount of money to park in some random suburban parking lot, pay an insane amount of money for a bus ticket, then wait up to 30 minutes to take a bus that can take over an hour to get to the airport?

Then on the return trip, you could be waiting almost an hour for a ride back depending on when you make it off the plane.

So basically what you're implying is that no one should be held accountable for this?

Yeah there's a lot of jobs/careers that won't pay much more than OP is making. 10 years ago $90k was considered good money. Now it's just...a living wage. OP should feel damn lucky to be making that much straight out of school. Most of us have to work 15+ years to get there.

>Mansfield Mass is the busiest place I've ever driven.

Take the commuter rail lol

Wait people actually thought this would make things better?
