Yeah, let's see how this works out.

[pnh102]

Fair share huh? So is the good governor going to do the noble thing and impose or raise taxes on the people who pay little to nothing in tax?

[Qwackertoo]

My SIL and her family live there. They both have great jobs, one with a DOD contractor and other with a pharmaceutical company, and their kids have always attended private schools. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

As a Cter, Malloy with big majorities in the legislature will get his huge tax increases. He did ask the unions for concessions to which they replied, raise taxes more.

The only thing left to do is move out. I’m nearing retirement and will sell out. Hopefully the housing market will not tank more.

[BerniesFriend]

nothing new here..just the status quo..only the ap could find that “unique”..

[aces]

Doomed to failure, I can hear the sound of businesses and people moving saying sorry Govenor you pay for that kidney..

[C210N]

All this is doing is allowing profligate spending to continue, so that the eventual downfall, aka Wisconsin and Californicatia will happen a bit later on (only worse).

"What can you really cut in Connecticut in state government," asked Malloy. "We could do what Arizona is doing and cut back Medicaid. So we'll tell people that a life-saving kidney transplant, we're not going to pay for? Do you think the people in Connecticut would do that? I don't. I'm too proud of the people of Connecticut. I know them too well to think that they would allow someone to die of a curable disease. I don't see that."

Well, maybe if the government weren't conditioning people to think that the government should pay for everything, they would either have catastrophic medical insurance to cover situations like this, or they would think seriously about whether or not they should get such an operation. Instead, there's this attitude of entitlement... just because someone is sick doesn't mean they have a right to wring money out of everyone else to pay for their treatment.

Let's see how well CT has been doing in the past with its tax policies. Here's the Forbes interactive Map: Where Americans Are Moving of Fairfield County and New Haven County. The red lines (outward migration) speak for themselves. I don't see ANY black lines (inward migration), do you?

[cdcdawg]

what a great argument for federalism! The states will deal with this in their own ways. The voters and businesses of CT will decide, same as everywhere else.

[conservativehusker]

Maybe this will help the fine folks of CT vote in a Republican, scratch that, a CONSERVATIVE for Joes seat!

[kidd]

Connecticut has been losing jobs to southern states.

Reasons: taxes and power costs

This is a really stupid move on the governors part.

[Jukeman]

Yeah - the people in states with high taxes move to states with lower taxes and then they end up wanting the same things from which they tried to escape.

[ct_libertarian]

I have an idea for Malloy.

Post armed guards at the border crossings.
You can cover your spending deficits by confiscating property from all of the refugees.

You freakin' Communist MORON!
You're gonna KILL this state!
People, like me, are going to LEAVE IN DROVES, you IDIOT!
Then who the hell are you going to tax???

But Golden Goose sure tastes good with Sauce Béarnaise, doesn't it?
You Marxist MORON!

[kearnyirish2]

Connecticut will become what NJ is trying to avoid becoming: illegal aliens, the permanent underclass, and the government workers to provide services to them.

[pacpam]

His evil twin is ruling in Minnesota.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

I wonder how many living in CT will move to New Hampshire? While it has a Democrat governor, he is fiscally conservative, a good thing because their equivalent of a legislature is solidly Republican. While refusing to raise taxes, they are also building a big “rainy day fund”.

[USS Alaska]

Well, the good people of Cunnexttocut voted for this liberal, arrogant, demonRAT turd, so his positions should come as no surprise to any one.

If you are conservative, move, if you can't, you will suffer.
