The Failures Of More Taxes In Connecticut

It is economically irrational to believe that new and or increased taxes will resolve any existing problems in the state of Connecticut.
For example, tolls and the supposed revenue that will be gained from them will repair the state's road and highway system.  There is already in place a fund and specific taxes that should be used for this but is moved in to the state's general fund for spending elsewhere.  Tolls will only raise the cost of living in Connecticut.
Another example is a 35% excise tax on all ammunition sold in Connecticut in order to deter the use of guns and thus reduce violence, crime and murders in the state.  There are many fallacies to this tax as in my opinion and the opinion of many others all the tax will do is penalize law abiding citizens who hunt and use guns for target shooting, etc. in a legal manner.  A hardened criminal will continue to obtain guns and ammunition in usually illegal manners in order to rob someone, rob a business and or murder someone.  Since Connecticut has created more and more laws to encourage illegal actions and behaviors it should be no surprise that there has been a massive increase in crime over the past few years.  The death penalty has been eliminated in the state thus that law gets criminals off the hook and they are now supported for the rest of their lives by legal Connecticut Taxpayers in prison.  For the most part these criminals are not reformed by being sentenced to life in prison.  And what happened to the right of those individuals who they hurt, maimed and or killed?  Obviously their rights do not matter to the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Nor will a 35% tax on ammunition deter criminals either, it is just another failure of Connecticut's Utopian liberalism when it comes to treating those violent criminals that roam our state especially our decaying cities.
More, new and or higher taxes serve no purpose other than to fuel the wasteful spending that we see in Hartford on a daily basis.
More, new and or higher taxes serve no purpose other than to keep a ruling Connecticut Democrat elite in power.
More, new and or higher taxes serve no purpose other than to keep Connecticut in an economic recession that the state can never get out of.
More, new and or higher taxes serve no purpose other than to keep a bloated bureaucracy operational to suffice the needs of a failed political nepotism system that is constantly propped up by these taxes.
More, new and or higher taxes fail Connecticut on a daily basis.
Enough is enough.
