When I was a kid, the CT sales tax was 7%, but there was NO state income tax. Weicker insisted that a state income tax would make the state tax raising recession proof, and there would be no need for further increases, with a then 6% sales tax. Property taxes are also sky high in CT, even as property values decline.
Bring back tar and feathering for these scoundrels.
Malloy is first.
My sisters live in Ethel and pay over $1000 a month in property taxes. They are looking at $1300 per month. We were talking about Durham earlier tonight. Kiss that tax state good bye.
It really is stunning. I have relatives in CT. Check out house price histories on Trulia or Zillow. One Woodbridge house I saw went from $2.5 million to $1.1 million, and a house in Milford from $649,000 to $429,000, both in just 5 years! Take a look at anywhere in Texas, Arizona, South Carolina, you name it, and they at least went up something. I don't know how White citizens in CT manage to stick it out.
