No more raises.
Not now.
Not in the future.
Never.
Sounds familiar? Many overtaxed middle class Connecticut taxpayers have not received raises for many years now. In my case at one college I teach at I received a massive pay cut per class and in the total amount of classes I can teach due to Obamacare. I recently left one University I taught at for thirty years since I have not gotten a raise in ten years. Many of the people I talk to and many of my students complain of stagnant wages, no raises for years and continually higher state taxes. When will it ever end?
Here in deficit ridden Connecticut our Governor has become a fiscal hawk. After six years of unlimited and unyielding spending with new and higher taxes taxpayers see that Dan Malloy's ultra liberal tax and spend policies have bankrupted the state. Thus he now changes his policies and rhetoric. He wants taxpayers to really believe him now that the Connecticut Democrat Party and Dan Malloy are truly concerned about state spending, state taxes and the $80 billion dollars of long term unfunded debt and liabilities that the state will owe forever. Are Connecticut taxpayers that stupid to believe him? Or are Connecticut taxpayers fed up with his lies? Are Connecticut taxpayers really going to believe that it is somehow the minority Republicans fault for this economic debacle when the Democrats have been in control for thirty plus years now?
This new Democrat fiscal policy has exerted its influence with the state labor unions condemning their labor contracts in particular the recently negotiated University of Connecticut labor contract and their amazing raises. It has said no to raises to many departments.
No more raises.
Not now.
Not in the future.
Never. Except maybe after the election in November. Except maybe after the Connecticut Democrat Party claws, fights and lies its way into reelection, keeping control of the legislature for yet another two years condemning the Republicans for even questioning their policies and corrupt way of doing business in the state. Then after the dust settles they will give retroactive raises to their labor unions and raise taxes yet again. More of the same for thirty years now.
Connecticut voters and taxpayers need to come to the realization that Hartford's Omnipotent One Party Rule has damaged the state beyond economic repair. We really need a balance in government. If we do not get it Connecticut taxpayers need to ask themselves-what really is the use of working to support the Connecticut Democrat Party and its failed economic policies?
