Don't worry, it's satire
There are already places (in the U.S. and other countries entirely) with far, far lower taxes than MA. Why haven't rich people moved already?
I'm going to optimistically assume that he doesn't speak English, and that he just picked up the shirt because it was cheap.
It's a variant of the sarcastic "that couldn't be me"

You can set up for the rebellion and vote. It's not one or the other. Coalition build, do direct action, set up for a general strike... And take 30 minutes out of that to vote for someone who'll make it easier to do praxis, coalition building, etc. (not easy, but easier)
