Connecticut's Failed "Two-State Solution"

 

Connecticut is a tale of two states.  One tale presents an incredible Utopian view of the state where there is economic and personal freedom, prosperity, law and order, low taxes, a state government that is completely transparent, checks and balances, flourishing businesses in a conducive environment, a great environment to raise children due to a wholesome and devoted public education system and a whole lot more!  The other tale represents a much more realistic view of a lack of economic and personal freedoms, economic recession, a difficult business-hostile environment, economic turmoil, rampant crime, theft and murders, one of the highest tax rates in the country, a total and defiant lack of transparency in state government corrupted without checks and balances, businesses moving out of state and or going bankrupt, a horrific environment to raise children in with liberal mind control and gender change as the curriculum, and sadly, a whole lot more.

Depending upon your political point of view, Connecticut's two state solution allows one side to control most aspects of life in the state.  The other side has a daily battle to survive in an obvious socialistic state as they fight for economic and personal freedom.  To an outsider, and to those actually living and working in the state, one wonders most of the time why incoherent gibberish is deemed as truths and facts in the state.  This past legislative session in the opinion of many made it clear that Connecticut is truly a tale of two states.  A state for the ruling political elite, and a state for the economic slaves called Taxpayers who are forced, by law, to support this dysfunctional and corrupted mess called state government.

Since the advent of the pie-in-the-sky state income tax, we have all been told how much greater Connecticut would be with a stable source of revenue coming in.  And 33 years later, Connecticut is still pretty much in a nonstop economic recession with a net migration of population moving out of the state, businesses bankrupted and or moving out, a excessively high tax rate, a poor infrastructure,  rampant crime, theft and murders, an illegal drug crisis and many more issues that truly impact the quality of life in the state.  This legislative session again presented the two states of Connecticut clearly with massive bills being voted upon without the ability to read them and or know what was in them, more money being thrown at social issues as it has been for 33 years to correct them, more thrown at the desperate attempt to keep young people in the state, and the never decreasing state spending that always solves the state's problems (when it never has).  The pox of government pensions was resolved magically through a Democrat Party plan by just paying less now and forcing future generations to figure out how to pay for them, later.  Somehow it saves money along the lines of what happens when one pays the minimum due on a credit card each month,  but who cares anyways?   And this legislative session confirms once again how badly Connecticut state government operates and works for the entire nation to see.

In the opinion of many the only resolution to Connecticut's two states is simplistic.  Move out. Move out of Connecticut if you are one of the economic slaves called Taxpayers who are forced by law to support this dysfunctional mess.  Many have already, especially those who are receiving a state taxpayer funded pensions that now laugh at those remaining in Connecticut to pay those pensions. Move to a more free state and a lower taxed state, because state government shows no care for you, anyway.  Move to a state that allows for a better quality of life.  It is not Connecticut by any means.  Connecticut has become a state where a King-like Unaccountable Democrat Governor can use the state as his families personal profit making tool with zero transparency.  It has become a state where local towns no longer can control their zoning laws or property planning.  It has become truly a state that has raped its economic resources to a point of no return.  And it is 1776 all over again.
