It might not be wise to give the MA legilature the idea of setting up a two-tiered tax system based on the premise that "there's a whole batch of people out there that we can gouge just because there's nothing they can do about it".

It's bad enough that citizens of both states get stuck with the full tax burden appropriate to receiving the full range of services, without getting very much in return. Starting a "range war" by gouging each other's citizens extra because there's not much they can do about it would not be a good thing!
