This genius was torn apart by Tucker Carlson last night. Typical Democrap idiot from Connecticut.
[Connecticut governor Lowell Weicker, a former Republican who served as an independent, worked out a deal with lawmakers: Government would impose a spending cap in exchange for the tax hike. But the state never fully implemented the former.]
Classic
A related thread stated more people would leave, but due to falling housing values, they can’t get out from under their mortgages. Sounds like implosion to me.
That blood sucking libs will turn any juicy grape of an economy until they run out of your money, turning the economy into a raisin then raise taxes some more.
The pensions promised for the chance to retain more power must be fed, after all.
See legislature, California.
Government would impose a spending cap in exchange for the tax hike. But the state never fully implemented the former.
Lucy says, “come on Charlie Brown, I will hold the football for you to kick this time”
Any deal that would raise taxes based on a promise of a spending cap is a lie by both parties. They both know there will be no cuts in spending.
cripes...besides income tax, CT also has personal property tax on cars\real estate\personal property
no wonder people are leaving.
Two sisters live in Bethel which is at the upper tip of Fairfield County, Far away from Westport, Wilton, Greenwich and New Canaan. They pay over a thousand dollars a month in property taxes. Guess that bill is going up. A property just sold in their community, they each own their own homes, that is an exact model of one of their homes except it has a swimming pool. It took 18 months to sell!
They are now stuck in Bethel paying over a thousand dollars a month in taxes. Thank you democrats.
Maybe they can borrow some money from Puerto Rico.
Two Words: NO BAILOUT!
Being from the State of Connecticut I have seen NO reason to believe Connecticuts economic situation is going to change without a vast political change.
Most of the suburbs and rural towns are very conservative but the major cities are loaded with parasites and they tend to wash out our votes.
Maybe if the cities find out there is no more money for their boondoggles they’ll start voting Republican for a change.
That’s the only way we’re going to get out of this mess we’re in.
We should let the Blue States die of their own “progressive” disease. It would make the point even to the dense young “skulls full of mush” at the universities when they would have to close because the politicians have run out of Other People’s Money.
STOP WITH THIS “RED/BLUE” STUFF
Democrats USED TO BE Commie Red, until AlGore.
I have family/friends in Maine. We go up there to visit on occasion.
I fuel up at the eastern PA line before NY, then stay on the interstate and don’t stop for anything....Not fuel, food, lodging, nothing...not even to pee until I get the southern ME line. Then, I fuel back up, pee, get me some Moxie & Humpty Dumpty BBQ potato chips and I’m good to go the rest of the way. I have to go thru NY, CT and MA....none of em get a penny of my money, except for toll roads. Same thing on the way back.
Is a CT GOP any better than the CT democrat party, or just a timed-release version of the same ruin?
2018 is coming. Gov. Daniel P. Malloy is done.
