The Continuing Lies Of Connecticut's New Tolls

The continuing lies being told about Connecticut's new tolls truly astound me.
They are being called user fees. They are being called as the only way roads and bridges can be fixed.  They are being called as a way to revitalize Connecticut's economy.  They are being called as a way to improve train service so commuters can get into Grand Central Station ten minutes sooner.  They are being called as a way to help create new unionized jobs.  They are being called the greatest revenue producer since the ill fated state income tax. 
These are all lies by the Connecticut Democrat Party.
All new tolls are a power grab to take more money out of Connecticut's economy to give to a bloated and inefficient state government that has failed miserably to address our failing state economy.
All new tolls help to satisfy the powerful union lobby in Hartford.
All new tolls help to further erode the state's struggling economy.
All new tolls help to increase the costs of living and to do business in the state.
All new tolls will be an economic disaster when revenues fail to match the state's overly optimistic projections of what they will bring in revenue.
There has been no transparency with the Connecticut Democrat Party's toll program.  We really still have no idea how much they will be nor how much they will bring in revenue.  We really don't know where the money is going to go to fix what roads and when.
And with these new tolls Connecticut will still have massive budget deficits.
And with these new tolls Connecticut will still have poor roads and bridges.
And with these new tolls Connecticut will still have over $140 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities.
And with these new tolls Connecticut will still have the same economic nightmare that has existed in the state since 1991 and the ill thought out Utopian state income tax.
What a waste of Connecticut's economic resources and its constant redistribution of income and wealth to the Connecticut Democrat Party and its political hacks.
Tolls will not solve anything in Connecticut.
The continuing lies about Connecticut's new tolls sicken me.
No Tolls.
They will not work.  Cut spending instead.  That always falls on deaf ears.

Yet Another Bad Week For Connecticut Taxpayers

It was yet another bad week for Connecticut Taxpayers.
It seems like every week is another bad week for Connecticut Taxpayers.
This week we learn that the state paid a Connecticut Democrat Party donor a mere $5.5 million dollars for his property in 2018 only to sell it for $1.7 million dollars recently.  Connecticut Taxpayers must lose $3.8 million dollars in this unethical deal.  The silence is deafening by the Omnipotent Connecticut Democrat Party on this transaction.
Connecticut Taxpayers are no closer to finding out where the supposed $500 million dollars in savings is supposed to coming from to help balance the already unbalanced state budget.  When are going to get this information?
Connecticut Taxpayers are being force fed daily the greatness of tolls.  Even though we find out this week by the Yankee Institute that the Special Transportation fund has been raided numerous times for hundreds of millions of dollars by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Money that in my opinion would more than offset the supposed need for tolls in the state.  If Governor Lamont and his "experts" became much more efficient in their spending of Connecticut Taxpayers monies there would be much more cash to fix our roads and bridges.  However all the Connecticut Democrat Party knows how to do is to tax more new items and services and to increase taxes.
Connecticut Taxpayers now get to pay sales tax on parking in municipal parking lots.  Even though these lots are maintained by Connecticut Taxpayers and local taxpayers.
Connecticut Taxpayers continue to see a massive outflow of taxpayers in the state thus lowering tax revenues.  The facts of this constant net migration of population out of the state seems to be constantly ignored by the Connecticut Democrat Party.
Connecticut Taxpayers continue to be searching for the reasons why Connecticut's state government acts in an economically irrational manner.  Connecticut Taxpayers continue to be searching for the reasons why Connecticut's state government acts in an unethical manner.   Connecticut Taxpayers continue to be searching for the reasons why Connecticut's state government responds to its ruling political elite only. And Connecticut Taxpayers continue to be searching for the reasons why Connecticut's state government acts in a way that shows total disrespect for them on a daily basis.
The battle lines are drawn for the upcoming election in November in a state spiraling out of control economically.  I just wonder how many more bad weeks in a row can Connecticut Taxpayers survive.

You Say You Want A Connecticut Tax

You say you want a Connecticut Revolution
Well you know,
We all want to change Connecticut.
You tell me that it is taxation
Well you know,
We all want to change Connecticut.

But when you talk about economic destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

We'd all love to see the plan but its always tax and spend.
You ask me to pay more taxes and tolls.

We can't pay any more.

But if you want money for your political nepotism
All I can tell is Governor Lamont you have to wait.

I really don't think it's gonna be
All right, all right, you still tax and spend.

All right, all right, you still tax and spend

All right, all right, you still tax and spend

All right, all right, you still tax and spend

All right, all right, you still tax and spend.

I guess the Beatles were right-history repeats itself.   The Connecticut Democrat Party repeats the same failed economic policies year in and year out since the dawning of the State Income Tax.  Economic failures over and over again.  New and higher taxes over and over again.  The same economic problems over and over again 30 years and counting.
I really don't think it's gonna be all right.

Happy New Year Connecticut Taxpayers!

Happy New Year Connecticut Taxpayers!
Now get to work and pay your increased and new taxes of all shapes and sizes in the land of omnipotent one party Democrat rule Connecticut.
2020 is starting off like most of the past thirty years here in Connecticut with budget deficits, massive unfunded liabilities, massive short and long term debt, high taxes, a net migration of population moving out of the state, high business taxes, and one of poorest business climates in the country.
Connecticut continues to lag from the rest of the country in all things economy wise.  And the economic debacle that continues in 2020 is the platform that the Connecticut Democrat Party will be running on for the General Assembly in 2020.  A platform of more and higher taxes, tolls, and move out of the state if you don't like it. 
Happy New Year Connecticut Taxpayers!
The state has again many economic issues to try to confront in the new decade.
How is the state going to pay for the $100 billion dollars in unfunded liabilities for state pensions and benefits?
How is the state going to pay for the $40 billion dollars in short and long term debt it has created?
Why is the 20% of the state budget going for salaries, benefits and pensions for roughly a half of per cent of the population?
What is the state doing to try to attract new businesses that provide jobs and pay taxes besides failed corporate welfare programs that Connecticut Taxpayers must pay for?
What is the state doing to find the $500 million dollars in savings that it was supposed to have in the current budget?  There has been no discussion on this whatsoever?
What happened to the programs that have been moved off the state budget?  How are they being funded and why were they hidden?
What causes more people to move out of our state every year?  Why does anyone want to move into Connecticut?  High taxes?  Poor job prospects?
Happy New Year Connecticut Taxpayers!
What is the real plan to save Connecticut from economic ruin is the question every legal Connecticut Taxpayer should be asking its State Representatives and State Senators.  Why are they doing to turn the state around if anything?
We have serious economic problems in 2020 here in Connecticut and they really need some answers by our highly paid state officials.  In one of the greatest economic expansions in our nation's history it is pathetic to see how bad our state economy is.  And the remaining legal Connecticut Voters and Taxpayers need their voices to be finally heard on November 3, 2020.
