Politicians love to place blame. For example Mr. Malloy has placed blame on
the Republicans (?) for the current economic problems of the state. High unemployment, a lack of economic growth,
residents moving out of state, one of the highest tax burdens in the country
and about $80 billion dollars of unfunded liabilities are somehow now the blame
of the Republicans. As a Republican I
take great offense to Mr. Malloy’s implication.
I wonder who has been Governor for the past four years. I wonder who has controlled the State
Legislature for how many years-too many to even count at this time.
Thus who is at fault?
We are constantly led to believe that by increasing taxes and increasing
spending somehow all of our social and economic problems go away. We as taxpayers are led to believe that if
one position in state government goes unfulfilled (especially when a former
Democratic official is not given it) or one program gets cut our state somehow
implodes. Thus we have one of the
highest tax rates in the country and one of the highest per capita state governments
spending per citizen in the country and in economic reality not much to show
for it. We basically have the same
economic and social problems year in and year out. Whether or not we tax and spend more.
It truly has become an economic burden to live and work in
Connecticut. As a taxpayer we are held
hostage by Hartford’s Omnipotent One Party Rule. Taxpayers work for government and serve our
elected officials. There is no more checks and balances in state government.
To me it is more an economic disaster day in and day out.
November is coming the lies about our state will grow by the
day. And who we will elect? And who will we blame?
