One can be very confused by trying to understand the concept of the Connecticut Democrat Party's rhetoric with regards to new and higher taxes. If one is to follow their line of thinking one could argue that by taxing virtually anything and everything Connecticut's economic problems will be solved. Gone will be the constant year-in and year-out yearly budget deficits. Each year since Governor Malloy has taken office he has raised and or initiated new taxes. Each year since Governor Malloy has taken office Connecticut has had a budget deficit. Each year since Governor Malloy has taken office many Democrat liberals want to implement new and higher taxes especially on the working "rich" of the state. Each year more and more working taxpayers are moving out of Connecticut to avoid the new and higher taxes that are signed into laws. Each year Connecticut's tax revenues drop. Each year the budget deficit grows higher. Each year Connecticut's short and long term debt increases along with its unfunded liabilities. Thus Connecticut's combined debt is anywhere from $60 to $80 billion dollars with no relief in sight.
Do you see a pattern here?
Do you see the economic danger of new and higher taxes impacting Connecticut's economy to the point of no return?
Can you as a Connecticut Taxpayer imagine a budget that realistically cuts state spending especially for salaries, benefits and pensions that in turn would start to pay down Connecticut's record debt?
Imagine it for it is not reality, nor in my opinion will ever be reality so long as Governor Malloy remains Governor and the State Legislature is a tool of the politically connected and its unions.
2017 picks up the same economic rhetoric as we seen in prior years. More taxes solve everything. Here in Connecticut more taxes further close the door of economic freedom for Connecticut Taxpayers. That is the danger that the Connecticut Democrat Party offers and embraces to its citizens.
