Have in-laws in Connecticut.
Very Liberal.
Very well-off.
They believe that rich people should pay more in taxes. They say “Tax the rich. Tax me. I can afford it.”
They also like to brag about their accountant who is REALLY good about sheltering their money.
And, yes, they see the irony of these two positions which they hold simultaneously. They see it. And they laugh and they laugh and they laugh.
Tell your liberal Connecticut relatives to just to pay more. Write a check to Trump and CT to pay more. They are permitted to make more payments if they want.
Plus CT relies very much on Defense spending for employment here (Pratt & Whitney, Sikorsky, Hamilton Standard, etc.). Yet the liberal idiots here always vote for 'RATs who *hate* spending $$$ on Defense. Boggles my mind...
