Maybe just once the Connecticut Democrat Party could listen to the remaining Connecticut Taxpayers in the state and hear their cries of no more new taxes and no more increases in state taxes.
Maybe just once in all of the years that the Connecticut Democrat Party has led the state to fiscal ruin they could in 2017 place taxpayers interests first and cut spending and not raise taxes. Maybe just once in all of the years that the Connecticut Democrat Party has led the state to fiscal ruin they could in 2017 adjust the bloated salary, benefit and pension structures for their buddies who they got state jobs for. Maybe just once in all of the years that the Connecticut Democrat Party has led the state to fiscal ruin they could in 2017 work on eliminating the corruption that exists in state government. Maybe just once in all of the years that the Connecticut Democrat Party has led the state to fiscal ruin they could in 2017 follow the Constitutional Spending Cap Law that voters legally voted upon. Maybe just once in all of the years that the Connecticut Democrat Party has led the state to fiscal ruin they could in 2017 not even think about taxing legal non profits in the state.
Maybe just once in all of the years that the Connecticut Democrat Party has led the state to fiscal ruin they could in 2017 see that Connecticut Taxpayers have had enough. Enough of the Connecticut Democrat Party's lies and theft from Connecticut Taxpayers.
We need a balanced budget that cuts spending, cuts taxes and starts to address the bloated salary, benefit and pension structure of our state management, union and non union workers. We can not afford another state budget that raises taxes yet again. We need the Republicans to be brought to the budget negotiating table and be allowed to offer constructive plans for the budget.
Connecticut Taxpayers deserve much better than the Connecticut Democrat Party's brand of elite socialism that is force fed to us year-in and year-out. More and new and higher taxes do not do anything other than drive more and more Taxpayers and Businesses out of the state. How stupid is the Connecticut Democrat Party?
Taxation without representation in 2017. We fought a war back in 1776 over it. Do we need to fight another economic war in 2017 to survive in Connecticut?
It is time to take back Connecticut. Now.

Thanks to the Connecticut Democrat Party Connecticut's Tax Freedom Day Is May 21.
Here come the new taxes for 2017 for Connecticut Taxpayers thanks to the Connecticut Democrat Party. By the way Connecticut still has a budget deficit.
1. A five cent plastic bag tax. Any bag that is used by a retailer will be accessed a five cent tax that consumers will have to pay for. Supposedly this will reduce the number of plastic bags used. As we know the Connecticut Democrat Party hates these bags as they provide a convenience for shoppers to place their items in that they purchase. I will assume that not one member of the Connecticut Democrat Party uses plastic bags when they shop.
2. Tolls. As one representative stated tolls would be "all over the place". Connecticut Taxpayers would now have an even higher cost of transportation even with one of the highest state per gallon gasoline taxes in the country. Please remember a few years back that the secret gross earnings tax on fuel was supposed to resolve all of our "transportation and road" problems we had in the state.
3. A carbon tax. This would increase the costs of all energy in Connecticut by placing a $15 per ton tax on carbon emitted through fossil fuels going up $5 each year afterwords. My estimates of increased costs for Connecticut Taxpayers include a 15 to 20 cent increase in home heating oil and gasoline 10 to 15 cents a gallon. Electric costs would continue to skyrocket. This tax would placate the global warming crowd (who apparently do not drive cars or heat or cool where they live) like State Senator Ted Kennedy, Jr.
4. An increase in the state sales tax to 7% with an expansion to many previously exempted areas. This would allow Connecticut to be ranked back up in the top ten states in our country with one of the highest sales taxes in the country.
5. An elimination of the current $200 property tax exemption on your state income tax for certain income filers. Thus this can be viewed as an increase in the state income taxes.
6. A shifting of the state mandated teacher funded pension system costs to cities and towns thus increasing the already high property tax burden that local taxpayers pay. The cut is $400,000,000 which may contribute to a 3 to 6 mill property tax increase depending upon where you live.
What is interesting is that there is no mention of reforming state employees management and non management salaries, benefits and pensions. I wonder why?
New and higher taxes are the order of the this legislature. More political patronage, nepotism, waste and fraud. On May 21 Connecticut Taxpayers finishing paying their total tax bill for the year. It is the longest length of time for any state as we rank 50 out of 50 states. Last in the country. Dead last. Thanks to the Connecticut Democrat Party.
