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.
I wish everyone understood this as you do. Our Founders saw the States as laboratories of democracy, and if CT wants to blow up its lab and make the state affordable only to high wage earners, let them go ahead. Raising taxes is legal. The people and businesses that don't like it can vote with their feet. That may sound callous, but the people of CT who put him in office are the callous ones. They had to know he would do this. He's a Democrat.
And all those fine leftists who like higher taxes can move to CT so they can live the dream.
