Connecticut WELFARE Families, a union-backed political group. There fixed it... there is nothing that group that's for the 'WORKING FAMILIES'

"From my own personal experience, a lot of upper income folks will be OK with higher tax rates,"

i say bullsh*t.

if you really believe it, then make the taxes EXACTLY THE SAME PERCENTAGE FOR EVERYONE... then give an option on the form for higher tax percentages if the person feels like giving more.

and anyone that thinks we have a voluntary tax system, **cough** head moron Reid **cough**, doesn't actually pay taxes.

THere is going to be a massive revolution in this country.

Long overdue, but a few for acts like these and we’ll finally water the tree of liberty.

“Long overdue, but a few for acts like these and we’ll finally water the tree of liberty.”

The tree is awful thirsty.

All members of the Legislature should be required to read and discuss the fable "The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs"
A man and his wife had the good fortune to possess a goose which laid a golden egg every day. Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough, and, imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it. Then, they thought, they could obtain the whole store of precious metal at once; however, upon cutting the goose open, they found its innards to be like that of any other goose.
