Connecticut's Budget Process

Let me try to understand Connecticut's budget process.  First a budget is presented that is out of balance.  The budget then has money taken off budget and placed somewhere else to avoid the mandated state constitutional spending cap.  Then taxes increase and the Connecticut Democrat Party states that the budget is a victory for the working middle class even though your taxes have increased again.  Debate on a $40 billion dollar budget is limited to less than four hours.  The minority Republican Party is not allowed in the budget talks even though they represent over 40% of the population of Connecticut.  The budget is signed even though there is a massive deficit forthcoming, taxes increase yet again and state spending increases yet again. 
It is a simple process whereby the Connecticut Democrat Party eliminates all opposition, all debate and all democracy out of the budget process.  It is a simple process that Connecticut Democrat Party places itself above any state laws, any state constitution and any questioning of their supreme Omnipotent One Party Rule.  Taxpayers can no longer question anything that Connecticut Democrat Party does in Connecticut. 
The Connecticut Democrat Party is the unchecked cancer that has infected and is economically ruining Connecticut.
It is a simple process to eliminate opposition here in Connecticut.

Taxation Without Representation Brought To You By Connecticut's Democrat Party

Many years ago our state was part of a group of colonists who had enough of taxation without representation from England and decided to declare their freedom so that they could have freedom at that time.  In 2015 the Democrat Party of Connecticut has decided that Connecticut taxpayers will also have taxation without representation as represented by an economically unsustainable and irrational budget they passed with no debate nor input from a governing minority party nor from the taxpaying public.
Middle class tax relief we are led to believe under this taxation without representation is in the form of yet even newer and higher taxes for Connecticut taxpayers.  A mere $2 Billion dollars more in taxes.  A Constitutional Spending Cap law is ignored and ridiculed by the Democrat Party of Connecticut under the guise of their own personal distaste for the rule of law. 
$85,000 plus benefits for a Democrat Party of Connecticut “Financial Literacy” position?  The Democrat Party of Connecticut hands out 12% binding pay increases for their politically connected?  The list is endless of the waste and fraud that goes on in Hartford-Hartford's Omnipotent One Party Rule of the Democrat Party of Connecticut.
Taxpayers work for the Democrat Party of Connecticut-they have successfully recreated taxation without representation in 2015.

Connecticut Has Died A Slow Economic Death Today - May It Rest In Peace

And here we go again.
Middle class tax relief in the form of much new and higher taxes.
Only in Connecticut brought to you by Connecticut's Democrat Party.
The same party that brought you the highest tax increase in Connecticut's history a mere four years ago that was supposed to balance the budget and get Connecticut working again.
Now it brings you the second highest tax increase in  Connecticut's history a mere four years later that again is supposed to balance the budget and get Connecticut working again.

Instead Connecticut is now on an even more dangerous path of even more taxpayers and businesses moving out of the state due to this irresponsible tax and spending increase that has completely ignored the Constitutional Spending Cap.  This law does not exist in the Connecticut's Democrat Party.  Nor does any economic reasoning nor any restraint exist in the Connecticut's Democrat Party.

Sadly Connecticut has seen much better days.  We can see now a state government and legislature whose only concern are themselves and their power.  Connecticut has died a slow economic death today. Connecticut's Socialism is now complete from the passage of this budget.  May Connecticut rest in peace.
