Why Would Anyone Vote Democrat In Connecticut? Why?

 Why would anyone vote Democrat next Tuesday in the state of Connecticut local elections? Why?  It defies logic to me that will all the problems with the state's economy, all the problems with crime in the state, all the problems with some of the highest taxes in the country, all the problems with the lack of transparency in the Lamont Administration with his family's hedge fund, all the problems now in West Haven with outright theft of taxpayers monies and the never ending problems seen in the corrupted city of Bridgeport why anyone would vote Democrat in the state? Why?

Why would anyone want to vote for Democrat candidates in New Haven?  New Haven has become a ghost town with rampant crime while the current Democrat Mayors only concern is to have people wear masks anywhere and everywhere in the city.  Does he think criminals are wearing masks while they are committing crimes in the city?  Isn't it time for New Haven voters to vote for Republican candidates in order to try to solve some of the massive economic problems in the city?  The New Haven Democrat Party has pretty much destroyed the city with years of high taxes, stale political rhetoric and a lack of leadership.  

Why would anyone want to vote for Democrat candidates in West Haven?  With the recent disclosure of the massive fraud that took place by Democrat State Representative DiMassa in the theft of Covid funds why would anyone vote for the current Democrat Mayor and Democrat Council members for re election?  How was it possible that Democrat Mayor Rossi did not see or know of any this wrong doing?  Amazing isn't it that voters just find out about this debacle days before the election?  

Why would anyone want to vote for Democrat candidates in Guilford? The Republicans are fielding an excellent slate of concerned parents running for the Board of Education.  The Guilford Democrat party is  really upset that anyone would question how and what the children of Guilford are being taught in the school system especially if it is Critical Race Theory.  Parents are responsible for their children not a biased school system or the Democrat Party.

We can also examine the multitude of failures of the Democrat Biden Administration on a national level that include runaway inflation, chaos at the borders, the Hunter Biden scandal, a new energy crisis, unchecked illegal immigration that has brought in even more gangs/human trafficking/drug cartels into our country, military equipment falling into terrorist hands, and the murder of Americans in Afghanistan just to name a few problems.  Or how about the non stop "state of emergency" that Ned Lamont and his family's hedge fund have been able to manipulate for almost two years now with no end in sight.  And we hear nothing but silence from the Democrat elites of DeLauro, Blumenthal and Murphy who rule supreme in Washington.  They have made a career of failing the Taxpayers of Connecticut.

Maybe just maybe it is time for a change in local governments.  The Democrat party has failed so many towns and cities in Connecticut for years now.  The end result is the economic and social chaos that is now the norm of every day life in Connecticut.  Where fear and failure is the new normal embraced by the Democrat party so that they can profit off of it. Failure after failure in the economy and social issues is the definition of the Democrat party.  It should be evident to all.

So again I ask why would anyone vote Democrat next Tuesday in the state of Connecticut local elections? Why?  They have failed the Connecticut Taxpayer and Voter over and over and over again. Why would anyone vote Democrat next Tuesday in the state of Connecticut local elections? Why?  Maybe just maybe Republicans should finally be given a chance to clean up the corrupted morass and debacle called Connecticut.   

 

The Connecticut Democrat Party And Its Lack Of Ethics

Ethics can be defined as the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group as in what is right versus what is wrong in a moral sense.

This past week Connecticut Taxpayers should question the ethics of the Connecticut Democrat Party as to several problems that were somewhat reported by the state run media and have been seen in national media outlets.  They all involve in my opinion massive corruption by Democrat elected officials and unethical behavior.

First was a tweet by the official Twitter account of Connecticut Senate Democrats sharing a cartoon on Thursday October 21 comparing parents who are angry with their local school boards to horror movie villains.  I must be forgetting something since parents have apparently no right to question school officials when it comes to critical race theory and or any other theories that are being taught in Connecticut schools and or be brainwashed into their children while they are continually forced to wear their masks listening to this garbage called education.  I can see why parents are upset about this tweet and I can see that the Connecticut Democrat Party would stoop this low to do something like this to demean and discredit Connecticut parents to get their agenda through.  

Second was the continuing case of Bridgeport Democrat State Senator Dennis Bradley over a fraudulent attempt to obtain public campaign funds for his 2018 State Senate campaign which is going to trial apparently in December.  Bradley is a lawyer and is still serving in office being paid by Connecticut Taxpayers while this is going on.  Stratford Democrat Tina Manus, a former town council member, entered a guilty plea to one charge of wire fraud in conjunction with this case.  Manus worked on his campaign.  One charge that stands out in Bradley's case was "Falsifying campaign finance reports to receive $84,140 of public dollars in aid of his campaign". (onlyinbridgeport.com)  Nothing that the Democrat Party does in Bridgeport surprises me as the corruption seems to be everywhere in the city.

Third was State Representative Michael DiMassa being charged with stealing $636,000 in federal COVID relief funds from West Haven, while he was employed by the City Council.  Democrat West Haven Mayor Nancy Rossi who also is a certified public accountant finally saw after many months of apparent searching and right before the local election that DiMassa was misusing the funds.  For example DiMassa’s consulting bills were paid the day after he submitted them.  My question is why was he doing consulting for the city on Covid issues while he was a person in charge of allocating these funds and is a State Representative at the same time?  What was his background that made him an expert on Covid?  It took Mayor Rossi that long to see what was going on?

The Connecticut Democrat Party in my opinion lacks ethics and morals.  There may be some non corrupted Democrats in the state however they are to me are few and far between.  Between the constant saga of Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont and his family's hedge fund profits off the never ending Covid-19 crisis in the state to the state teachers pension fund receiving Covid-19 funds apparently hand delivered by State Treasurer Shawn Wooden to now the dumping of hundreds of thousands of unsolicited absentee ballots by Democrat Town Committees throughout many towns and cities in the state, ethics and morals no longer exist in this party.  The Connecticut Democrat Party has helped to destroy the state's economy and ranks last or near last in many economic categories while near first in highest taxes in the country.   The Connecticut Democrat Party is on a power trip and will win at any and all costs to make the state fall under its omnipotent one party rule and its party rule only.  Laws and rules no longer pertain to them.  

May Connecticut Rest In Peace from this slaughter.

 

Connecticut Taxpayers New $62500 Tax-Part 2

 To continue with several more points from blog last week on 10/9/21 about the massive debt and unfunded liabilities Connecticut has that amounts to $62500 per taxpayer I would like to focus on several possible solutions to this coming bankruptcy for Connecticut.

There seems to be an excessive amount of state employees who receive above averages wages, salaries, benefits and pensions.  Some of these same state employees will state that they deserve these above average wages, salaries and pensions since they work for the state.  Most of them are unionized employees that I assume are unionized in order to protect them from the apparently harsh and inhumane working conditions that they are facing in the state.  Most of them are unionized employees also so that they are  able to receive these above average wages, salaries, benefits and pensions that are funded by the Connecticut Taxpayers.   I and many others can not see what they are being protected from and why they are being paid these above average wages, salaries and pensions.   In turn for this protection these same unions endorse only the Connecticut Democrat Party and their candidates on a local, state and federal level.   Thus we also see a trade off for votes for these above average wages, salaries, benefits and pensions.  There never seems to be a realistic view of what all these above average wages, salaries, benefits and pensions are costing Connecticut Taxpayers nor of how they are contributing to this $62500 debt tax.  Studies have been done over the years discussing these above average wages, salaries, benefits and pensions for state workers but little if anything is done about it.  We also have seen over the years that if a State Representative or State Senator loses an election some of them somehow find a state job with above average wages, salaries, benefits and pensions for themselves.  If they are short years for a state pension it seems like jobs are created for these same State Representatives or State Senators so that their pensions may grow and or be increased in monetary value.  I know of no report over the years that has been commissioned or developed to record the amount of political patronage jobs that were created since 1991 and how much it has cost Connecticut Taxpayers.  I am confident it is in the millions of dollars.  Why are we paying so much in these above average wages, salaries and pensions and receiving questionable if not little to no value for the state in return since the state is so badly managed?  Why can't this issue be addressed?  

Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont has benefited from the never ending Connecticut Covid-19 crisis.  Several companies that his family's hedge fund own have received no bid Connecticut State contracts that they apparently have profited from.  We do not know how much the Governor or his hedge fund has paid in Connecticut state taxes (the last income and tax summary for the Governor was from 2017, I can not obtain any newer information on either personal or business taxes paid from 2018 on)  or how much profit was obtained by these same contracts.  Why is this information so secret?  Does the Governor's family hedge fund even pay taxes in the state?  We do not know nor apparently are we allowed to know as Connecticut Taxpayers.  

One can also argue that for a state as small as Connecticut why is it spending so much money?  Where does the money actually go?  If one looks at the last state budget we see an enormous amount of the state budget goes to debt payments and to state employee wages, salaries, benefits and pensions even though each year we are told there is somehow some sort of shared sacrifice going on to lower these costs.  With a $62500 debt per Connecticut Taxpayer one could argue that the state way overspends on its budget and has little results from it since the state ranks last or near last in most economic categories and near the top in highest taxes in the country.  Connecticut taxpayers are not getting value for their hard earned tax monies.

Connecticut needs a serious austerity based state government economic plan to cut spending, reduce the state's workforce, find ways to save money anywhere and everywhere, do much more with much less and learn what real sacrifice is as Connecticut Taxpayers have learned since the Utopian Lowell Weicker State Income Tax was force fed on them in 1991 taking away their income.  Connecticut needs a real budget for real times that cuts state spending rather than just shove items off budget.  Connecticut's State Government must learn to work for Connecticut Taxpayers not the other way around.   Connecticut needs to change or it will really face bankruptcy sooner than later.  Connecticut Taxpayers don't need to accept this $62500 tax.  It truly is "Taxation Without Representation".

Connecticut Taxpayers New $62500 Tax

 $62500 is a great deal of money to some people.  Not to the Connecticut Democrat Party.  $62500 is the amount of money that each Connecticut Taxpayer is responsible for as their share of Connecticut's massive debt.  Connecticut in fact has the highest debt per taxpayer in the country according to trunthinaccounting.org latest "Financial State of the States Report 2021". Connecticut ranks dead last of all 50 states in the country as far as how much in debt the state is.  If one looks at the amount of debt a state as small as Connecticut has it is astounding.  The amount borrowed money from bonds, all other liabilities, unfunded pension liabilities and unfunded retiree health benefits amount to over $96 billion dollars.  If one was to include all the areas of the state budget that has been moved off budget along with other unreported debt, I estimate Connecticut's total debt to be around $120 to $140 billion dollars.  Connecticut's debt to gross domestic product (for Connecticut) ratio is an astounding 22.2%.  One can assume to be correct in their assumption that it seems like Connecticut is bankrupt.  If the state were to liquidate all of its assets it would not be able to pay off all of its debt.  If Connecticut was not to spend its bloated $23 billion dollar yearly budget at all and put it all on its debt it still would take over six years to pay off its debt.  But we know in reality that Connecticut would never sell off its assets and would never stop spending anything each year from its bloated budget to pay down this debt.  

Connecticut in case you have not guessed it yet ranks as a bottom five state in many different economic categories while ranking as one of the highest taxed state in the country.  We are led to believe somehow that Connecticut is a well run and fiscally managed state when instead it is just the opposite as it teeters on bankruptcy.  This is the real record that Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party runs on year in and year out.  And we are led to believe that Connecticut is an efficient and economically well run state even though there are literally taxes on anything and everything in the state.   Why has Connecticut become a fiscal mess?  Unchecked Democrat Party spending and a total disregard for the rule of law in what was formerly known as the "Constitution State".  Ned Lamont and the Connecticut Democrat Party are much more worried about school aged children wearing masks for seven hours a day than this debt that these same children will inherit (if they somehow want to stay in the state when they get older).

Connecticut Taxpayers should brace themselves for the inevitable.  Massive tax increases in the future to pay for this political based state debt that has accumulated since the failed Weicker Administration back in 1991 along with his implementation of the failed state income tax that was the political credit card to increase political patronage spending that has been unchecked and unabated for the past 30 years now.  And look what Connecticut has to show for this debt.  A Governor who has been able to manipulate Taxpayers monies to his family's hedge fund benefit and profit.  A Governor who rules with an iron hand making up rules and laws as he goes along with zero respect for the state constitution and or the rule of actual laws in the state.  A governor who make sure he wants his political friends and his Democrat Party to be the beneficiaries of any state perk that can be sucked out of the Connecticut Taxpayer.  A Governor who really wants Connecticut Taxpayers to know that they are working for him, his family's hedge fund and the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Connecticut does not have an elected government in my opinion, it has fraud in the form of what is supposedly called state government.  A state government that has provided you with now $62500 each of more debt for their political pleasures.  It is truly sickening.

Has Ned Lamont Abdicated His Governorship? I Think He Has.

The definition of abdicated is "to renounce or relinquish a throne, right, power, claim, responsibility, or the like, especially in a formal manner" (dictionary.com)

On September 28, 2021 Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont who just had his "emergency powers" extended by a Democrat controlled state legislature to February 13, 2022 had a press conference where he was answering Connecticut's state run media questions. He stated in reference to the Democrat led State Legislature “sometimes they abdicate. Sometimes they don’t want to vote and I have to stand up and make some decisions.”(wfsb.com). After making this remark not one member of Connecticut's state run media asked when this "abdication" occurred.  On what law or bill that came forward did they "abdicate" on-was it the Police Accountability Act that has helped to turn Connecticut into a criminal's paradise of unchecked car thefts, muggings and shootings/murders? Or maybe state take over of local zoning laws by the wife of the Mayor of Hartford in the name of racial diversity?  Or was it possibly an unconstitutional mandate that all public school children need to wear masks while in the classroom?  Could it have been the state budget just passed that allows Connecticut to have the highest Taxpayer debt in country at $62500 per person with $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with unfunded liabilities?   I am confused as to what did a non meeting non functional Democrat led State Legislature "abdicate" on?   And what were the decisions that Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont actually make because of this "abdication"?  Please explain Executive Order Governor Ned Lamont what decisions did you actually make?  Were the decisions based on helping your family's non Connecticut based hedge fund profitability and company ownership?  Was it yet another secret no bid Connecticut Taxpayer funded contract for one of your family's hedge fund based companies such as Sema-4?  Was it yet some unconstitutional mandate your consultants came up with so that your family's hedge fund can earn profit off of such as weekly Covid-19 testing?  Was it yet another unconstitutional mandate that made another Connecticut business go bankrupt?  Was it a new law that you created that will force Connecticut landlords to fill out even more bureaucratic paperwork in the guise that they may at some point in the future be paid for rent that has been legally owed to them for the past 19 months from delinquent tenants?  I am confused and I am sure many others are as to what were these tough decisions you made since there are few if any Covid-19 cases or deaths occurring in Connecticut any more.  Where is the crisis?   What is the problem you are addressing since you are certainly not addressing the real problems of crime, murders,  drug overdoses, suicides and the destruction of a generation of children in the state by the daily fear they must endure going to school.  And why are you literally the only state in the country that needs "Executive Orders" to govern in full violation of Connecticut's legal branches of government and the highly ignored state constitution.  

Has Ned Lamont abdicated his Governorship on September 28, 2021?  I think he has and he is in my opinion one of the most corrupted Governors Connecticut has ever endured in its history.  Maybe the time has come for Connecticut Taxpayers to abdicate paying their taxes since Connecticut's legal elected government and their personal freedoms has ceased to exist for the past 19 months and counting.  Free Connecticut.
