Another Bad Week For Connecticut Taxpayers

 

It was another bad week for Connecticut Taxpayers thanks to the Connecticut Democrat Party.  I personally do not know how much more bad news they can take.

We see this past week that Ned Lamont’s Executive Orders will continue until July 20th.  I thought we had flattened the curve?  What is the never ending medical emergency we are dealing with?  That the Connecticut Democrat Party Senators and Representatives really do not want to be bothered representing their constituents?  That even though many Connecticut residents received the vaccine for Covid-19 that either it won’t work or that you can still get Covid-19 with it-so we still need his endless Executive Orders?  Or that the cash train from our bankrupt Federal Government will stop if there is not a continuing supposed medical crisis in the state?  No answers on this one other than the total disregard and ineptness that the Connecticut Democrat Party Senators and Representatives are showing us.

We see this past week that the Connecticut Democrat Party Senators and Representatives want to increase taxes in the state by a mere $1 billion dollars more and force down our throats the Transportation and Climate Initiative.  This initiative will increase gas taxes dramatically in the state while forcing a gas shortage since there will not be enough carbon credits available for sale in the state to meet the demand for gas.  Thus Connecticut’s cost of living will rise dramatically and all businesses cost will increase also.  

We see this past week that the Connecticut Democrat Party Senators and Representatives passed a law to strengthen the grip of public unions on state and local governments.  Senate Bill 908 would bar public employers from either discouraging or deterring new or existing employees from joining or remaining in a union while also requiring employers to allow access to new employees by having to notify unions of new hires, provide home contact information, the actual use of government email and addition time to meet.  How this can be legal is beyond me.  Therefore Connecticut’s public unions work hand in hand with the Connecticut Democrat Party to further their grip on the state through bills like this.  Connecticut is definitely not a “Right to work” state in any form.  And the cost of government continues to rise because of bills like this.

We see this past week that the Connecticut Democrat Party Senators and Representatives want the status quo and a socialistic/progressive/liberal agenda for the state.  You must obey as a Connecticut Taxpayer the Connecticut Democrat Party and its iron grip on your personal and economic freedoms until they say otherwise.

Connecticut used to be known as “The Constitution State”.  That is the further thing from the truth in 2021.  Connecticut should be known as “The Socialist State”, a state lost in the vast economic wasteland that the Connecticut Democrat Party has nurtured and grown for over thirty years now.  A state that provides week in and week out the framework and economic reality for yet another bad week for Connecticut Taxpayers.  Over and over again.  For thirty years.  Maybe Connecticut Taxpayers should no longer financially support this economic debacle known as state government in its current condition.  Just a thought.

Why It Doesn’t Surprise Me-It Is Connecticut Of Course

 

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course.

Connecticut has many social and economic issues that are constantly made worse by poor policy decisions that are forced onto Connecticut Taxpayers by the Connecticut Democrat Party.

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course when new and higher taxes are proposed and signed into law by the Connecticut Democrat Party.  Each year Connecticut Taxpayers hear the same rhetoric of there is a deficit, there can be no cuts in spending, more spending will solve the social ills of the corrupted cities of the state, eliminating guns will solve all the shootings and murders that are taking place in these same corrupted cities, etc.  

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course when these same new and higher taxes do little to either help social and economic problems in the state.  These same new and higher taxes seem to help push up the growing state debt of $150 billion dollars in short and long term debt along with its never ending unfunded liabilities.  

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course that a state this small has that much debt since it has been run into the ground by the Connecticut Democrat Party for thirty plus years now.  

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course either to see that Connecticut ranks as one the top three highest taxed states in the country while also enjoying last or near last rankings in business friendliness and business development.  Sure we will see and have seen in the past all of the grand press conferences showing how the state gave Connecticut Taxpayers monies in the form of legal bribes and unpaid loans and grants to induce businesses to come and or stay in the state when they threaten to move to a lower taxed and lower regulated state.  But a great deal of those same bribed businesses still end up leaving and or go out of business.  Thus what is the point of it?

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course when Connecticut Taxpayers have no say or rights in the state when deciding how their tax monies are spent.  It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course because we know the bulk of the state budget goes to a small minority of the population (state government workers, consulting groups and the Connecticut Democrat Party politically connected) through wages, benefits, pensions, no bid contracts and grants along with unpaid loans.  

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course when gasoline and diesel prices are going to soar through the roof with the Connecticut Democrat Party’s “An Act Reducing Transportation-Related Carbon Emissions,” Governor’s Bill 884 that will massively increase the taxes on these two fuels while helping to create shortages of these same fuels due to the limitation of carbon allowances being able to be sold in the state.  There will not be enough allowances to meet current demand for these fuels.  Connecticut Taxpayers should get ready to walk to work since there will be much less fuel to be bought due to this economically incoherent bill being shoved down our throats.

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course when there is never a discussion on cutting state spending.

It doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course when Connecticut Taxpayers are treated as slaves by our state government

And it doesn’t surprise me because it is Connecticut of course when we now see the never ending results of 31 years of omnipotent one-party Connecticut Democrat Party rule.  A state that has been mismanaged into economic oblivion with massive debt, high taxes and skyrocketing crime and theft.  Along with a Governor who whose Hedge Fund has been able to profit nicely from the hysteria of Covid-19 that has been drummed into our heads on a daily executive order basis through a compliant state run media.

What a true mess Connecticut is in now.  It doesn’t surprise me.  Too bad.  Free Connecticut.
